Stuart, who left Parramatta to coach the Raiders after the sacking of David Furner, has wasted no time stamping his authority on his new team, training them in 40C heat and sending them to aweek-long elite training camp. The former NSW and Australia coach has seen big potential for McCrone at hooker. Faith inMoses to deliver title MOSESWigness has taken over the reins again at Brothers Rugby League club for the 2014 season. Wigness, who coached the club for three years and won the 2010 and 2011 premierships, replaces Anthoiny Castro who had held the position for the past two seasons. The clubs seniors sign-on day is at Airport Tavern today from 1pm. Brothers spokesman John Adams said the clubwanted to regain the premiership that they lost to Palmerston last year. New rules to endmass debates MANLY coach Geoff Toovey says captain Jamie Lyon wont have to change his on-field approach to referees despite recent NRL rule changes. Lyon and Canterburys Michael Ennis are seen as two of the games leading debaters when it comes to arguing withmatch officials. But they are set to be stymied by a new law that limits where andwhen captains can speak to refs. Under new rules captains will only be able to speak to refs during a stoppage in play.

Lachlan schooled by Shark RUGBY LEAGUE ByDOUGBOOTH MacKillop Sharks centre Levi Russell with student Lachlan Miller at the merger announcement yesterday Picture: JUSTIN SANSON LACHLAN Miller wants to play senior rugby league when he grows up. The MacKillop Catholic College student discovered plenty of ways to help him reach that goal from the now MacKillop Sharks hardtackling centre Levi Russell yesterday. Lachlan, 13, and Russell, 22, were integral parts of the launch to merge the Sharks with the Palmerstonbased college. I like rugby league because of the teamwork that is involved in playing, said Lachlan, who has been playing the game for four years. It is not just a one-man game. I like running with the ball and scoring tries. Russell said young players such as Lachlan were the future of the 13-a-side game. We are looking for a premiership this season and building links such as this is vital for the future, he said. College principal Loretta Graham said MacKillop was trying to build a community spirit through sporting organisations and this was another step forward. David Graham is the Year 8 music co-ordinator at MacKillop but his other passion is rugby league. Growing up in Cairns, he played his first rugby league in Queensland and last year he was with the Palmerston Raiders. However, as the brainchild behind the merger of the school and club, he has new allegiances. The Palmerston demographic is much different to Darwin, Graham said. Queensland and NSW influence the culture. Graham said the merger would help provide a grassroots pathway that had not existed before in rugby league in the Northern Territory. It is important that we try and bridge the gap between school and club, he said. The Sharks will hold their senior sign-on at Mary MacKillop School today from 10am. Read an exclusive interview with Darwins Joel Romelo in tomorrows SundayTerritorian. Swedes step up DARWIN owners Jade Kalinowsky and Justin Coleman are delighted with the form of their classy Singapore-based horse Blue Swede. The four-year-old gelding confirmed his potential for possible Group 1 glory with a stunning win on the Singapore dirt polytrack on Sunday. Now connections have set their sights on the Singapore Derby on July 12 for the son of OReilly, who has had nine starts for three wins. Trained by Shane Baertschiger and ridden by John Powell, Blue Swede impressed in his third start since returning from a four-month break. Blue Swede finished like a mail train to take out the last event of the 11-race program the Class 4 Division 1 race run over 1200m. The long-term plan is for Blue Swede to race in the Singapore Derby, which is worth about $800,000, Kalinowsky said. He is definitely looking for further and his next race will be on January 25 over 1400m. Blue Swede had been a contender for the Singapore Guineas last year. but Kalinowsky said he went amiss at the wrong time. He is a full brother to Bishops Castle, who Stephen Brown trains in Melbourne, he said. Bishops Castle ran second to the promising Relda at Moonee Valley on Saturday. The seven-year-old gelding has won five times from 23 starts, compiling a total of more than $134,000 in career prize money. Meanwhile, Blue Swede could face strong opposition from Australia in the Singapore Derby, even though the race is still more than six months away. A long-term plan to race Blademeister in Singapore in 12 months is one option that trainer Peter Snowden will consider after the Bernardini colt won on the Kensington track at Randwick last July.
