NRL: Expansion back on the cards

NRL: Expansion back on the cards

Expansion is firmly back on the agenda after the NRL announced plans to invest more than $200 million to make rugby league the No.1 code in Australia within four years. Bolstered by a $49.4 million profit in his first year in the job, NRL chief executive Dave Smith declared the game was now a big business - and would behave like one - as it searched for new opportunities. ''Rugby league is poised for growth in a way that it never has before and we will consider growth, and we will make rugby league even stronger and healthier than it is today,'' Smith told the annual general meeting of the game's stakeholders at Darling Harbour on Monday. With four years of the $1.2 billion broadcast deal to run, no new teams are expected to be...

Second tier salary cap changes announced

The NRL today announced changes to the 2014 Salary Cap to help clubs which suffer heavy injury tolls during the season. A fair and transparent appeals process will also be put in place this year to adjudicate on contested decisions relating to the salary cap. The ARL Commission has approved the changes, which will come into force for the 2014 season, following recommendations by the Salary Cap Review. Read More

Cannonballers could be marched: Archer

New referees boss Tony Archer has declared war on the controversial "cannonball tackle", declaring his charges won't hesitate to send a player off over the ugly tactic in 2014. The much despised tactic, when a third defender attacks the legs of the stationary ball carrier held upright by two other defenders, is in the crosshairs of the NRL in the same way the shoulder charge was last year.

Doctors order NRL wake-up call

Doctors order NRL wake-up call

NRL CLUB doctors will crack down on sleeping tablets, including Stilnox, as the code moves a step closer to testing for prescription drugs. Doctors from the 16 clubs will convene at NRL headquarters on Saturday to discuss several key topics including the prevalence and control of prescription drugs. NRL head of football Todd Greenberg will attend the medical fraternity’s annual meeting, which comes a fortnight after club CEOs backed plans to beef up the code’s drug testing. Rugby League Medical Officers Association spokesman Sam Sorrenti expects NRL doctors to vote unanimously for the introduction of prescription-drug testing. Olympic swimming legend Grant Hackett this week went into rehab to treat a dependency on Stilnox...

Sea Eagles 2014 Season Preview

They went about as close as you can get in 2013 so you can expect more of the same from the Sea Eagles in 2014, especially with plenty of their 2013 grand final side still intact. The big question marks of course are in the front row: astute judges will note some very big players (both figuratively and literally) in the departures column, with noticeably less gravitas in terms of off-season gains. That doesn't mean the cupboard is completely bare in that department - Brenton Lawrence was one of the form props of 2013, Jason King is still around and reportedly recovered from a shoulder injury, there are some youngsters coming up through the ranks and two of the club's new arrivals are young props with first grade experience...

Ref rage latest off season blight for NRL

Ref rage latest off season blight for NRL

COULD the NRL's summer of hell get any worse? A player sent to jail, a taxi driver assaulted, drunken misbehaviour and now a referee, yes, a referee, being investigated by the code's integrity unit for allegedly punching a touch judge. Gavin Morris is accused of striking Terry Pascoe, a Queensland Cup touch judge, at a new year's eve party in Sydney. He required treatment in hospital for a nasty facial gash. A photo of the touchie's bloodied face was doing the rounds on social media but has been removed in recent days. Not before it was emailed to The Daily Telegraph. Pascoe is understood to have spoken to police about the incident but declined to make a formal complaint. However he did give a report and his version...

Manly fans slugged with ticket levy

After reading this, how much longer can Brookie survive? Manly Sea Eagles ticket prices at Brookvale Oval could rise due to Warringah Council’s proposed rent increase BROOKVALE Oval match ticket prices could increase by $1 each under a new lease proposal to help Warringah Council maintain the venue. Manly Sea Eagles will also be slugged an extra $25,000 in rent to use the oval. The conditions were approved at Tuesday night’s general meeting as part of the final lease proposal to the club. Sea Eagles officials have requested a new lease of only 12 months for the oval as they seek direction on the future of the venue. The club’s five-year lease with the council expired in November and officials from both organisations have...

DCE pushing for no.1 half status

DCE pushing for no.1 half status

COOPER Cronk’s reign as rugby league’s No1 halfback is under serious threat from Manly’s Daly Cherry Evans. Cronk won the Dally M award last year and has been the game’s standout halfback since Johnathan Thurston switched to five-eighth two years ago. But Cherry Evans is a freakish talent and is closing in fast. Manly trailed by 20 points against Parramatta on Saturday night at half time at Brookvale Oval. Cherry Evans came on for the second half and the Sea Eagles bolted in. This guy reminds me a lot of the great Steve Mortimer, my favourite halfback of all time. In an era when rugby league has become such a structured and tightly programmed game, players like Cherry Evans are a standout and a breath of fresh air...

Cherry-Evans out to top stellar 2013

Cherry-Evans out to top stellar 2013

He claimed a Queensland Origin jersey, a Kangaroos jersey and the Clive Churchill medal in a brilliant 2013 season. But as Daly Cherry-Evans enters the 2014 NRL season, two near-misses help ensure he won't rest on his laurels. The Manly halfback was shattered after last season's Sea Eagles' grand final loss to the Roosters. It came just weeks after he narrowly missed out on the Dally M Medal to Cooper Cronk - the man keeping him out of a coveted starting spot for both state and country. By delicious coincidence, Manly's March 8 season-opener is against Cronk's Melbourne Storm. The 25-year-old Cherry-Evans is too experienced to treat that as any more than a battle for two competition points for his team. "I've never...

NRL: Radical salary cap proposal mooted to stop drain

NRL: Radical salary cap proposal mooted to stop drain

The NRL is considering assisting clubs to recruit players from outside the competition - even if they can't fit them in their salary cap. While the radical proposal would not have helped South Sydney retain Sam Burgess, it would have prevented Israel Folau being lost to rugby union after Parramatta were unable to accommodate him in their salary cap. The idea was one of nine possible changes to salary cap rules discussed at last Friday's meeting of NRL club bosses in Auckland, which also included: ❏ Centrally contracting big-name players through ''ambassador'' payments from the NRL; ❏ Including transfer fees, such as the $300,000 Brisbane paid Canterbury to release fullback Ben Barba, in the cap; ❏ Rolling the existing...

Hoppa stars, Taufua hurt in Manly win

Manly are sweating on a shoulder injury to winger Jorge Taufua after they surged home to beat a Will Hopoate-inspired Parramatta 28-24 in their NRL trial on Saturday night. It'd been 875 days since Hopoate last set foot on a rugby league field, but it took the Parramatta centre just two touches of the football to suggest he's ready to pick up where he left off in 2014.
