NETHERLANDS RUGBY LEAGUE QUALIFY OFFICIALS AHEAD OF SEASON LAUNCH
A Level One Match Officials course, held at the Sparta Sports Complex in Capelle aan den Ijssel, just outside Rotterdam, has again underlined the growing transfer of knowledge among the European rugby league nations.
Referee candidates from three newly formed rugby league clubs in the Netherlands – Rotterdam Pitbulls, Den Haag Knights and Amsterdam Cobras – were present, as was Peter Parker from the RFL who shared his experience; the course led by Tom van Gorkum and Jorge Vazquez.
They received their Level One Educator qualification in Brussels in February as part of the EU-backed Leadership Devolution Project and were assessed by colleagues, Jason Bruygoms and Misaele Vakadranu, who achieved their qualifications through the 2012-13 Governance Foundation Project.
“It was good to see so many people from all of the teams taking part in the course,” said Van Gorkum. “I’m looking forward to seeing them in action in the competition which starts in two weeks. This is definitely a sign of rugby league establishing itself and growing in the Netherlands".
Bonne Wilce from Den Haag Knights RLFC noted, “I thought taking part in the match official course would be a good opportunity to get a better grip of rugby league.
“Over the course of the day we covered all the basics and even the more complex and rarely seen situations to ensure we are prepared for any eventuality.
“After a morning of theory we moved outside to put what we had just learned into practice.
“This is when it became apparent knowing the rules is only half the job, executing the role of the referee on the field took some time to get the hang off.
“The hardest part was looking at the game from the referee’s perspective instead of the player’s.”

Swedish rugby league championship poised for kick-off
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
FROM: SVENSKA RUGBY LEAGUE FÖRENING
DATE: 27 March 2015
CONTACT: ashley.brown
SWEDISH CHAMPIONSHIP POISED FOR KICK-OFF
The inaugural Swedish championship kicks off tomorrow (Saturday) with four teams taking part.
Södertälje and Kungsbacka will have the honour of hosting the first round of matches in the Impact Prowear League.
Skane Crusaders visit Kungsbacka Broncos, fittingly the team created and managed by Sweden rugby league pioneer Scott Edwards, while the newcomers meet when Stockholms Kungar – who won the Scandinavian 9s last weekend – travel to Södertälje Storm.
Kungsbacka Broncos player-coach Andrew Bignell is looking forward to the season’s start. “This is great for the Broncos and the growth of rugby league in Sweden,” he said. “Everyone is excited for the first round and for a big season. We have some improvements to make but I feel that we will have a competitive side and I am confident this will be the Broncos best year yet.”
Fabian Wikander, Södertälje Storm player-coach, added, “The young guns of Sodertalje Storm will be out to prove themselves in their first season; we will be focussed on developing their talent.”
Ashley Brown, Skåne and Sweden national coach, is under no illusions that the first season will be a closely contested one. “The Crusaders have been the dominant force in Sweden but with the two new teams and a much improved Kungsbacka side we have our work cut out,” he noted.
“A new challenge awaits us and it will definitely lead to a stronger national side and some tough selection choices. Overall Sweden Rugby League’s development strategy is now exceeding expectations.”

International Rugby League to reach new highs in 2015
 |
| INTERNATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE HITS NEW HIGH
A record number of at least 28 nations will be playing officially sanctioned international rugby league in 2015, with the total set to rise reflecting increased global activity. By the end of the year, New Zealand – who face Australia in the ANZAC Test in May and travel to England for a three-match series in the autumn – could be established as the top nation, the first time since the World Rankings were instituted that anyone other than the Kangaroos have headed them. Also already scheduled are a Pacific Series, European Championships at A, B and C level, as well as the Scandinavian Cup and matches in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Middle East; plus World Cup qualifiers for the 2017 tournament in the Antipodes set to be unveiled. “It is great to see the breadth of international teams who are competing in 2015,” said Graeme Thompson, Chair of the RLIF competitions committee. “It will be fascinating to see England and New Zealand lock horns again after their recent dramatic clashes and we also have other developing rivalries such as Belgium and the Netherlands playing this year. “There is a lot of stake this year in international RL and a lot to excite.” The RLIF has worked with member nations for the past three years to ensure that all recognised international matches are approved, eligibility of players is checked and facilities for the games meet suitable requirements. Across the world this has driven up the standards of administration in emerging national governing bodies, ensuring that they are recruiting and developing more home-produced players as domestic leagues increase. |

Rugby League European Federation announces Belgrade congress
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
FROM: RLEF MEDIA DEPARTMENT
DATE: 27 March, 2015

RLEF ANNOUNCES BELGRADE CONGRESS
For the first time in its history, the RLEF will hold its annual congress – the 13th since the organisation was founded – in Eastern Europe.
Serbian capital Belgrade will host the gathering of nations on 4 July 2015, following the RLEF membership’s resolution to rotate the annual meeting around the Continent.
The RLEF Board awarding hosting rights to the Serbian Rugby League Federation upon conclusion of a formal tender process involving three expressions of interest.
“Serbian rugby league is honoured to host the most important gathering of RLEF,” said SRLF president Predrag Pantić.
“For us it is a great recognition and responsibility and we are aware that we have to fulfil the high standards set by in Paris and London [previous AGM locations].
“We are confident that our young, dedicated team will demonstrate organizational maturity and that Belgrade will show its openness and hospitality. Serbian rugby league strongly believe that this year’s gathering will bring new energy and ideas that will be of a great impact for the future development of our sport, both in Europe and in Serbia.”
RLEF General Manager Danny Kazandjian added, “Two central themes of the RLEF are to increase the European dimension of the federation and devolve leadership to a steadily growing number of increasingly capable federations.
“Giving member nations the opportunity to host the annual Council meeting certainly supports that and we look forward to an increasingly competitive bidding process, which will in turn add value to the RLEF.
“We are very much looking forward to bringing the Congress to the wonderful city of Belgrade.”
The Congress allows the RLEF’s diverse and varied membership to congregate in one setting, share best practice, perform their statutory duties as members and listen to expert guest speakers who have included RLIF chairman Nigel Wood, the Rugby League World Cup leadership, officials from UK Sport International and the European Commission, as well as politicians, journalists and various speakers drawn from the membership itself.
Following the inauguration of the RLEF early in 2003 by 10 nations, the first Council meeting was held in Paris on 10 June that year, attended by five nations. The 2014 Council meeting and conference saw 24 nations present. The RLEF currently has 34 Full Members, Affiliate Members and Observers.

Lebanon rugby league to host Malta in Sydney
MALTA RUGBY LEAGUE – PRESS RELEASE
DATE: 25 March, 2015
LEBANON TO HOST MALTA IN SYDNEY
Lebanon Cedars and Malta Knights will renew their rivalry at St Marys Stadium, Sydney on Sunday 3 May in the ‘Battle of the Phoenicians.’
Lebanon RL have just completed a series of high performance coaching clinics at the American University of Beirut and are staging the fixture as a ‘home match.’
The Cedars’ last game in Sydney was a hard-fought encounter against Fiji at the Remondis Stadium last October, which saw the Batis triumph 40-28 in the Hayne-Mannah Cup.
Malta (currently 24th in RLIF world rankings) and who sit immediately below Lebanon, will play in Sydney for the first time since the two sides last met, in front of a big crowd at the same venue back in 2006.
Lebanon took the spoils in that match with a 36-10 victory, weeks ahead of their 2008 Rugby League World Cup qualifying campaign.
Malta head coach Anthony Micallef will remain on the island coordinating the imminent domestic season ahead of a busy European summer international schedule, so the MRL has appointed a quartet of Sydney-based coaches to oversee the international under team manager David Axisa.
Micallef is using the clash as part of the selection process for Malta’s RLEF European Championship C commitments starting in September.
“Our heritage programme in Australia has been working hard uncovering eligible talent playing in the NRL, the State Cups and the National Youth Championship (NYC) through to the strong district competitions,” Micallef commented from Valletta.
“I’m keen to monitor the players’ performances in this match as we have some important games later this year in Europe. It’s a good opportunity for one or two of the players to force their way into Euro C contention.”
Lebanon coach and head of performance Darren Maroon could have a host of NRL stars at his disposal, sounding out West Tigers’ Robbie Farah, Parramatta Eels pair Tim Mannah and Reece Robinson and Reece’s brother Travis from Melbourne Storm.
The Knights have earmarked such as Newcastle Knights’ Jake Mamo and Canberra Raiders’ Andrew Heffernan.
Malta is also preparing for an additional mid-season test match against higher -anked member nation Belgium at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, Leeds on 21 June.

Ovchinnikov begins preparations for Russia rugby league internationals
PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
FROM: ASSOCIATION OF RUGBY LEAGUE CLUBS
DATE: 24 March, 2015
CONTACT: Edgard Taturyan Taturyan38
OVCHINNIKOV BEGINS PREPARATIONS FOR INTERNATIONALS
Russia coach Igor Ovchinnikov has begun his preparations for the important 2015 international season.
Currently lying second on points difference in European Championship B behind Serbia, and with a difficult away trip to Belgrade scheduled in the calendar, Ovchinnikov has selected a train-on squad having overseen a trial match in Moscow.
The head coach’s selection won the encounter 46-12 against a team coached by national team stalwarts Viktor Nechayev and Vadim Fedchuk.
“The game showed that, for a short period, our players are physically prepared and technically not bad but some tactical problems were highlighted,” said Ovchinnikov, who returned to take control of the national side for a second time at the beginning of last year.
“The main reason is that there has been little match practise because the Russian championship only kicked off two weeks ago.
“At the beginning of the game, both teams were fairly tough,” continued the Lokomotiv Moscow coach. “There were some strong attacking runs, hard defence and a desire to win which suggests that competition for places in the national team is high, which is really pleasing.
“Of course, the players have not yet hit their peak so we have a way to go. Defensively both teams looked quite confident but sometimes in attack the play was a bit chaotic and some players tried to do too much on their own. That led to a slow pace, some set-piece confusion and dropped ball.
“The most important thing is that we’ve seen the problems which we must solve in the near future as well as the ways we can improve the team’s quality. Overall the match was played at a high level – but we have a lot of work to do. It’s encouraging that we have time for a more thorough preparation this season and we have two months before our campaign begins.”
The ARLK is considering keeping the Russia ‘B’ team together to improve player development under the control of Ovchinnikov and his staff.
At the end of the exercise Ovchinnikov named his current ‘A’ squad as follows – Rustam Bulanov, Vladimir Vlasyuk, Bohadur Mamajanov, Sergey Konstantinov, Anatoly Grigorev, Petr Botnaraşh, Artem Grigoryan, Roman Ovchinnikov, Andrew Zdobnikov, Dmitry Bratko, Sergey Dobrynin, Valentin Baskakov, Denis Korolev, Mikhail Nisiforov, Anton Zabelin, Vladimir Odnosumov, Sergei Sidorov, Denis Nikolski, Dmitry Ivanochkine.

Italian rugby league makes juniors progress
FEDERAZIONE ITALIANA RUGBY LEAGUE – COMUNICATO STAMPA
Data: 19 March
Contatti: Tiziano Franchini. T.franchini
FIRL MAKES JUNIORS PROGRESS
The Federazione Italiana Rugby League has completed its junior development camps in the north-east of the country as they prepare to launch their first U18 club championship in June.
National team coach Paul Broadbent and RLEF-trained coach tutors Kelly Rolleston and Tiziano Franchini again took charge following on from the initial camp, in the north-west, last month.
“It was very positive and exciting, with the enthusiasm for the U18 competition looking great,” said Broadbent, who has led on the planning, initiated two years ago.
Over 70 players attended in three locations; Gemona, Este and Parma.
“We had an excellent turn-out, especially in Gemona, a new development area,” continued Broadbent. “Encouragingly, over half of all the boys we worked with have some experience of rugby league, which bodes really well for future development.”
The six-team U18 competition begins on 6 June. Champions Torino XIII will defend their crown with runners up NW Roosters joined by teams from Milan, Piacenza and Brescia.
FIRL is still determining the format of a possible north-east division.

CZECH RUGBY LEAGUE CLUB FUNDRAISE TO HELP PLAYER OVERCOME TRAGEDY
Teplice Dragons Rugby League Club is engaged in a fundraiser for a great friend of the sport who has recently experienced a family tragedy.
The national team player was in a car accident with his family at the end of last year that ended in their hospitalisation and has resulted in his only daughter being in a coma ever since.
A statement from the club said, “We are just looking to see how the rugby league family can assist him. Every little bit will be of massive assistance to him and his family.”
The Dragons are raffling a Czech RL national team jersey as first prize and there will be a range of other international league-related items donated by Ty Vole Urban, Ron Pearce and Australia’s Men of League, as consolation prizes.
The cost of a ticket is 5 euro, with all proceeds going to the individual and his family.
Payments should be made directly to bank account IBAN: CZ5723100000001240330812 or use PayPal account: jaroslav.bzoch
The winners will be drawn after the Teplice home game on the 9th May.
