Simon Woolford poised to be named coach of English Super League club Huddersfield

Simon Woolford is poised to be appointed head coach of English Super League club Huddersfield less than a month after the Giants sacked ex-Newcastle Knights coach Rick Stone.

“I’ve been interviewed so now I just have to wait and see what happens,” Woolford said. “It would obviously be a really good step-up for me. But you don’t go into coaching without aspirations to be a head coach at some stage and I’m no different from anybody else in that regard.

Glen Buttriss set to face old team mates

This week’s clash between Cootamundra and Albury will also see Glen Buttriss come up against fellow former Canberra Raiders teammates Adrian Purtell and Joel Monaghan. While Monaghan is not a confirmed starter for the Thunder, Buttriss is looking forward to the clash.

“It should be good I’m looking forward to playing my old mate Adrian,” he said. “Joel Monaghan is there as well and another ex-teammate so I’m really looking forward to playing against those two boys.”

Adam Clydsdale is thrilled to follow his grandfather Bandy Adams at Pickers

Former Canberra Raiders hooker Adam Clydsdale may be a Scone junior but few players in Saturday’s opening round clash against Coalfields rivals Cessnock boast better Maitland Pickers bloodlines.

Clydsdale is the grandson of Maitland legend and former Australian representative Don “Bandy” Adams and admits to a few nerves ahead of his first grade debut for the Pickers in their return to the Maitland Sportsground.

Forever Green: Where are they now? - Michael Maguire

This week we catch up with our former backline utility and assistant coach, Michael Maguire. A player who could slot in anywhere across the backline, Maguire represented the Raiders for five years in two different stints in the mid-90s before he retired at 22 years of age due to injury.

What do you do for work now?

I’m working across the NRL as a High Performance Coach in officiating and leadership, so I’m doing bits and pieces like that in the game.

Cootamundra put in clearance for former Canberra Raiders player Lou Goodwin

Lou Goodwin could be the latest new face joining Cootamundra. The clearance request has gone in, but Goodwin does not expect to play for the Bulldogs this season.

“I’m just having this year to get them (knees) both right and then find something next year,” Goodwin said. “I don’t know where I will be, I’m still living in Sydney or I could be gone. The knees are fine at the moment, I surf every day and they never hurt, but I used to think I was invincible and now I feel like I am going to break when I touch the ball."

Heart goes out to him.

I hope we don’t give him a job but he qualifies for one

IIRC, Raiders were annoyed that he left, but accepted that it was the best thing for his career seeing as it would give him a shot at being a head coach, which it did.

I'd ignore his record with the Warriors and bring him in.

Forever Green: Where are they now? - Laurie Daley

This week we catch up with club legend Laurie Daley who was a part of the 1989, 1990 and 1994 Premiership winning sides. During his 13 years at the club, Daley scored 87 tries and captained both Canberra and Australia.

What do you do for work now?

Ever get the chance to talk with him Brew?

[reptar]

Brew, can you ask Laurie which halfback he'd have as bench hooker?

He prefers to talk about which Fullbacks he can play at centre or winger.

It'd be a change. We can see the experiment going on at the Sharks this season.

Wow there's a name I hadn't heard in ages

Is he an owner?

Surely he isn't there as for his fame during the Raiders days.

BJ Mole reports that Reece told the Ref “My brother, or someone who looks just like him, slept with your sister”.

"After Robinson had a try disallowed in the right corner for not grounding the ball in goal, his exchange with touch judge Ben Teague in back play before the 20-metre optional restart saw Teague make the report that led to the Roosters NRL squad member’s dismissal."

Makes sense

He’s very well known in the Aus fishing scene. Represents Shimano and other brands. Catches some huge Giant Trevally!

The 43-year-old Australian succeeds Rick Stone, who was sacked in March with the Giants 11th in Super League.
