The most successful coach of the modern NRL era may be on the move.

Reports from Australia suggest Penrith Panthers coach Ivan Cleary may be set to announce 2026 as his last season at the helm of the powerhouse franchise.

Cleary has led the team to unprecedented success, winning four consecutive NRL titles from 2021-2024.

Under Cleary’s tutelage, his son Nathan has evolved into the greatest player in the game today, and the pair have been integral to the resurgence at the foot of the blue mountains.

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Cleary is expected to address his future at a press conference at 4pm NZT.

Cleary’s playing career spanned a decade and included three season at the Warriors where he played in the 2002 grand final.

He began his coaching tenure at the Warriors in 2006, leading them to another grand final in 2011.

Penrith currently sit on the top of the NRL ladder with just one loss from 10 matches.

Three-time America’s Cup winner Blair Tuke won’t be a part of the on-water crew for next week’s America’s Cup preliminary regatta in Sardinia.

Tuke, who won the cup in 2017, 2021 and 2024, will instead be involved in Team New Zealand’s onshore development.

A release from the team said Tuke would continue to transition into a more executive and strategic role, focused on the speed development of Taihoro and performance of the sailing team in the lead up to the America’s Cup defence in Naples in 2027.

“I am really excited by the challenge of transitioning into another phase of my career within a team I have had such success with,” Tuke said in the statement.

“The team as a whole is under no illusions as to how tough a fourth straight defence will be, so playing my part and utilising my experience will hopefully continue to contribute to its ongoing success.”

Tuke formed a formidable partnership with skipper Peter Burling in their Americas Cup successes, in trimmer/flight controller roles

Burling left Team New Zealand just over a year ago, later saying [https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/579918/peter-burling-says-control-team-new-zealand-wanted-over-him-was-just-crazy it wanted to exert too much control over him.

New Zealand will have two crews competing in Sardinia in two AC40s.

The number one boat will have the helming duties shared by skipper Nathan Outteridge and 20-year-old Seb Menzies, and will feature trimmers Andy Maloney and Iain Jensen.

The second development boat will have Erica Dawson and Jake Pye take the dual-helm positions, joined by trimmers Serena Woodall and Josh Armit.

The eight-boat fleet has dual entries from New Zealand, Great Britain and Luna Rossa, alongside single-boat entries from La Roche-Posay Racing of France and Team Alinghi from Switzerland.

Auckland FC have played more than 2550 minutes of football so far this A-League season, but a moment’s inattention could be what they remember the most.

Last season a period of five minutes in a semifinal ended their season.

Before Friday’s second semifinal against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium, coach Steve Corica will make sure to bring up that period of play that cost the team a maiden grand final appearance.

He wants the players to “feel the hurt”.

But the players have not forgotten. A year on, as the finals series has played out over the last fortnight a few of them referred to it in public, more will have thought about it privately.

“We know how bad it is to lose a semifinal,” Corica said.

“Last season, the only thing we did wrong is we conceded two goals in five minutes. We can’t afford to do that. Can’t afford to concede at all.

“We’ve got to try and keep a clean sheet. I think we’ll do our best to do that, but I think we have enough goals in us to win the game.”

Auckland and Adelaide are level at 1-1 after the first semifinal in Auckland on Saturday.

A win on Friday sets up a grand final against either Newcastle Jets or Sydney FC who are also locked at 1-1 after the first leg of the home and away semifinal.

Coaching vernacular

‘Moments’ is popular coaching vernacular.

Corica has spent the finals series mentioning moments of “switching off” – something he wanted players to avoid.

Likewise, Brisbane Roar women’s coach Alex Smith mentioned “two moments, lapses of concentration” that saw the Roar lose their semifinal to Wellington Phoenix on Sunday and miss out on a grand final.

Corica believed his team were “definitely focused” in the first semifinal.

“I think it’s just little details. We switched off for a minute, Hiroki [Sakai] got beat by [Yaya] Dakuly on the left-hand side, great ball across the face, we couldn’t deal with it.

“It’s just trying to maintain focus, don’t lose what we’ve been [doing to be] disciplined defensively.

“[It’s] just trying to limit their opportunities because they’re a good team. They score a lot of goals. They also concede, so our job is to score more than them.”

Straight after the game on Saturday, which was likely their last home game of the season unless Sydney beat Newcastle, Corica admitted the players “lost maybe a little bit of concentration” when two Auckland players went down with injures that required them to leave the field within the first 10 minutes of the second half.

“It’s just the way it is sometimes with football, you’ve got to deal with these moments in games.”

Auckland will be without Guillermo May who injured tendons in his ankle in the first semifinal and Felipe Gallegos and Jake Brimmer will also miss the must-win match at a sold-out Coopers Stadium.

In 90 minutes there will be many moments that could turn the game in Auckland’s favour on Friday. But history suggests it will take extra time, if not penalties, to separate the two teams who have had four draws in the five matches they have played in the last two seasons.

The match kicks off at 9.35pm (NZ time).

Sir Graham Henry wants to bring a simplistic approach to the table as he returns to the All Blacks fold as a selector.

Head coach Dave Rennie confirmed on Tuesday that Henry would join him and assistant coach Neil Barnes as selectors, with the All Blacks having their first test of the year against France in Christchurch’s new Te Kaha Stadium on 4 July.

Henry, 79, said one of the things he had learned during his coaching career, which included a Rugby World Cup title with the All Blacks in 2011, was sharing responsibility with the players.

That involves “everybody being on the same page and spending the time to ensure that happens so that everybody feels comfortable with what they’re trying to do”, he told Morning Report.

“I think that’s the key, giving players additional responsibility and ownership, and the more ownership they have, I think, the better they play. That’s how we approached it 20 years ago.”

The sport appears different now, but Henry said the same approach should ring true.

“I haven’t been in a coaching group for some time. It appears to be more complicated. And maybe that’s more difficult, but simplicity is key, I think. The more simple we can keep the game, I think the better the boys will play,” Henry said.

“The pressure is even greater today because the athletes are bigger and faster, so you’ve got less time to make decisions. The simplicity of what you’re trying to do is key, so that you actually can function. If it gets too complex, it makes it extremely difficult.”

Henry said the selectors had an extensive list of players to consider. “The competition for the All Black team is very real, and there’s a lot of very good players, and there’s going to be some very good players who don’t get selected, which is a healthy situation, but difficult for them, obviously.”

He said it was tough leaving players out. “But that’s the job, isn’t it. So you’ve just got to do your best. And I think making sure that you select correctly is a very important part of the side playing the best it can play.”

Henry coached Wales from 1998 to 2002 and the British and Irish Lions in 2001, before being All Blacks head coach from 2004-11. His record with the All Blacks was 88 wins from 103 tests. More recently, he was involved with the Black Ferns set-up during their World Cup winning campaign in 2022.

He gave an insight into the role of a selector, saying there was a huge amount of statistical information now available on players compared to his time with national side, but that was a back-up to the main job.

“At the end of the day, you watch players play, and if you watch them for a long time – you don’t watch the game when you’re selecting, you just watch the individuals – you get a very good sense of whether they can do the job or not,” he said.

Players could be observed over an extensive period of time. “You know by viewing them whether they can put it in at the next level.”

Henry said he hadn’t missed the pressure of being involved at the top level, but was “very humbled” to be asked by Rennie and excited by the opportunity.

“I love the game. I think the game has got some challenges right now, so I’d like to try and help improve the game in this country, if I can.”

The Warriors co-captain Mitch Barnett is one of four players returning from injury for the NRL Magic Round clash against the Brisbane Broncos, but Luke Metcalf has been left out of the squad.

Metcalf was given permission yesterday by the Warriors management to talk to other clubs for next season.

It’s been a dramatic turnaround in fortunes for a player who was leading the Dally M Medal standings last year before a knee injury ended his season prematurely. He was granted a contract extension through to 2028, but coach Andrew Webster has preferred Tanah Boyd and Chanel Harris-Tavita in the halves since Metcalf’s return from a hamstring injury.

Barnett has been named in the front row for Sunday’s match, after missing the round nine win over Paramatta because he was concussed in the preceding match against the Dolphins. Jackson Ford, who has started in all nine matches this season, drops to the interchange to accommodate Barnett’s return.

Ali Leiataua missed the Parramatta game for the same reason as Barnett and returns in the centres, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck out of action because of a shoulder injury.

Wayde Egan has also been cleared from a concussion, after he suffered a head knock in the first half against the Eels, and slots in at hooker, while Tanner Stowers-Smith comes on to the bench after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The Warriors, who are second on the NRL table, two points behind Penrith, are attempting to win their fifth game in a row, while the Broncos are attempting to right their ship after two consecutive losses.

However, they have the wood over the Warriors at Suncorp Stadium, with the Kiwi side not having won there since 2018.

Talisman halfback Adam Reynolds returns from concussion to the Broncos side, with Ben Hunt moving to the interchange. Philip Coates has been named on the wing for his NRL debut. He is the younger brother of Melbourne Storm winger Xavier Coates.

The Blues women want to build a dynasty.

The franchise has dominated the early years of Aupiki, winning back-to-back titles in 2024 and 2025, and they have no intention of relinquishing their crown.

Blues captain Maia Roos said they welcome the target on their backs as it hunts a historic three-peat, when the season gets under way next month.

“It’s sitting there, everyone’s gunning for the win this year, so we just have to start fresh, start new and can’t get complacent.”

Roos has been part of the Blues set-up since the inaugural season and has seen significant growth in Aupiki, both in the number of games and standard of rugby being played.

“We worried about the sustainability of the competition because it was so bang, bang, bang, six games. But I think as we continue to get more funding, more resources in our sport, I hope that we’ll be able to extend the competition in a way that is accessible to more girls so that they don’t have to fully quit their jobs for three months and then have to look again.”

That growth is reflected in the 2026 competition structure, with the season expanding to a six round format, alongside a final and a trans-Tasman championship.

Another major change this year is the scheduling. The season has shifted to June to accommodate the Black Ferns Pacific Four campaign – a move Roos believes will ultimately lift standards across the game.

“It set a really good standard for how girls will train and play in Aupiki, and I think they’ll be able to take those standards into their clubs so that the younger girls are able to rise to that level as well.”

The Black Ferns lock said the increase in professionalism within the women’s game has also translated into a more physical and entertaining competition.

“Man, we’re able to play such exciting games because of the fitness levels. It’s hard, because every team has those strengths to match that. So the games are quality every single week and they’re exciting to watch and play.”

The introduction of long-term contracts has also strengthened confidence in the pathway for aspiring players, she said.

“Just showing people from their communities that they can play at this level, and that’s beneficial for all rugby in New Zealand and girls and boys who want to play when they grow up too.”

After a forgettable World Cup last year, Roos, fresh off the Pacific Four campaign, said the new Black Ferns era had started strongly under Whitney Hansen.

“We feel so connected as a group, you get that through hardship. We have the tools that we need and it’s up to us and how we run with it. I think with the start of a new World Cup cycle, it’s cool to see new players getting exposed to high pressure, high performance rugby in Aupiki.”

Even so, Roos admits Black Ferns selection inevitably lingers in the background during the domestic season.

“It does sit in the back of my head, but my main focus right now is on Aupiki and on serving our Blues region. I love the Blues and I’m so excited to be back with my friends. The cool thing is that I’ve played with these girls since grassroots, since school, and to now represent our region together is really cool, ten years on. Oh man, we’re old!”

With 33 new names spread across the four Aupiki squads this season, Roos believes the Blues’ dominance will face its toughest challenge yet.

“All the squads are so strong this year. Poa has some really strong new additions and I think the girls that they’ve retained have a real hunger to be better. I think all the teams are going to be strong and every week you can’t let your guard down.”

Despite the rising standard on the field, Roos said one of her biggest hopes for the season is to see more supporters in the stands.

“I understand the cost of living crisis is tough right now, so people don’t always have the money to come out to games, but ticket prices are quite accessible at some of our games. It would be amazing to see more people supporting us and supporting women’s rugby.”

This time last year Taranaki surfer Tom Butland could not walk – now he is preparing to take on the best in the world.

Butland will line up at the New Zealand Pro in Raglan this week, in a landmark moment for New Zealand surfing as the country hosts its first World Surf League championship tour event.

The 24-year-old could find himself sharing the water the likes of Brazilian stars Gabriel Medina and Miguel and Samuel Pupo, as well as defending world champion Yago Dora.

But only a few months ago, getting back to full fitness was his biggest goal.

Butland spent most of 2025 off the water after badly injuring his knee while surfing. Then, just as he was recovering, another accident left him facing an even longer road back.

“It’s hard to even picture, this time last year I couldn’t walk, so it’s crazy to be back and in a comp as big as this,” Butland told RNZ.

He first tore the MCL in his knee while out on the water. During rehab, a mountain bike accident tore the AC joint in his shoulder, broke his elbow and both scapulars, and left him concussed.

The recovery was long and frustrating, but the prospect of New Zealand hosting a World Surf League event helped fuel his comeback.

“It certainly lit a fire under me to go hard and try and qualify for Raglan. I wasn’t really surfing at a great level until probably the middle of December when I started to get my feet back because I had to trust all the injuries and get mind over matter.”

His place in the WSL field to compete at Manu Bay was confirmed in April when he won the wildcard qualifying event.

The injuries also changed the way he viewed competition.

“Going away and trying to improve your craft and then coming back and focusing on competing again was quite healthy.”

He was in Australia for the recent WSL stop at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast, where he got an early taste of the atmosphere he’ll experience in Raglan.

“I did a lot of free surfing around the pros so I could get the vibe of what it was like to be around them. It’s super competitive, the energy is definitely different around the pros.

“It’s intense they’re all on a mission to be world champion and the way the approach even a practice session is so different to what I’m use to.

“It’s made me excited.”

Despite the scale of the occasion, Butland said he would still approach the New Zealand Pro like any other event.

“Nothing changes, just keep it solid, nothing to prove other than proving something to myself.”

Butland will need to progress from a preliminary round to make the main draw, but said that up against the world’s top 32 surfers, every heat will feel like a final.

The Warriors have given star Luke Metcalf permission to talk to other clubs for next season, as they try to sort through their contract logjam among the halves.

The Auckland NRL outfit has been wrestling with its roster in recent weeks, with Tanah Boyd and Chanel Harris-Tavita – both off contract at the end of this season – preferred as the starting halves combination, despite the return of Metcalf from a hamstring injury.

Australian media is reporting Boyd’s contract has been extended through 2029.

Re-signing Metcalf was a priority for the club, after a knee injury ended his 2025 season prematurely, while he was sitting atop the Dally M Medal standings. He was subsequently extended through 2028.

During his absence, Boyd’s form has helped the Warriors to second on the competition table and made him a State of Origin contender for Queensland.

Last month, coach Andrew Webster tried accommodating both his star halves by playing Metcalf at five-eighth, but the move backfired, resulting in their only two losses of the campaign so far and ending with Metcalf’s hamstring tweak.

His management reportedly told the Warriors he preferred to play halfback and sought clarification on his future with the club.

Boyd’s apparent extension through 2029 has escalated that discontent to a request to allow him to find another home.

The Warriors have given Metcalf that permission.

“We will not make any further comment on this matter until a further update is provided by Luke and/or his management,” said Warriors chief executive Cameron George.

Meanwhile, Harris-Tavita has also been exploring his options beyond 2026, including a meeting with former Warriors coach Todd Payten, who is now in charge of North Queensland Cowboys.

Harris-Tavita’s management has reportedly told clubs he is only available for a one-year contract, suggesting he may be positioning himself to join expansion club PNG Chiefs, when they join the competition in two years.

The Wellington Phoenix women’s inaugural captain Lily Alfeld saw her playing career end prematurely. Now she has a front row seat to a season that is reshaping the club.

Alfeld was the first signing in the club’s history ahead of the Phoenix entering the A-League women competition in 2021. She played all but one game in goal during the team’s inaugural campaign as the expansion side battled to get a foothold in the league.

But injuries soon took their toll.

Alfeld missed all of the following season with knee and back injuries, before back surgery in 2023 that ultimately ended her playing days.

But the Phoenix were determined not to lose one of the foundational figures of the women’s programme. The club created an operations role that allowed Alfeld to rehabilitate her injury and continue to have a positive influence on a women’s programme that was still in its infancy.

“I was hoping for a slightly longer career, so when it was cut a bit shorter than planned that was a tough six months to just get my head around,” Alfeld said of the transition from player to staff member.

Now Alfeld is at the coalface of the club in the community, leading culture and community engagement.

While sidelined with injury Alfeld, she became known for her vocal support from the stands, “that was about the only way I thought I could contribute”.

“But now my role looks slightly different, I’m a little bit less vocal and more behind the scenes. I’m still the team’s biggest cheerleader.

“I’m just so stoked to see them finally start to get the reward for all the efforts that they are putting in.”

That reward has come in the form of a historic campaign.

The Phoenix are preparing for their first grand final appearance on Saturday against Melbourne City in Melbourne, Alfeld said it was the “perfect time” to be in her role promoting the club.

The former goalkeeper said the Phoenix have changed a lot since she lead them out for their first game against Western Sydney Wanderers in December 2021 during the Covid era when their home base was in Wollongong in New South Wales.

“The thinking that first season [was] we’re just like so happy to be here. But as that time has evolved, and as the years have gone on, I think every year it’s been how do we get better? How do we push? How do we increase our investment, our standards, our expectations?” she said.

“I think every year it’s been slowly chipping away, and I think they’ve just finally nailed making an incredible programme.

“I have no doubt that this is the best female programme in the league and they’re finally getting that result.”

Alfeld was part of a squad that made football history in New Zealand in 2021 when the club entered the league, Saturday night will be another historic moment regardless of the result against Melbourne City.

Prior to this season the Phoenix had never made the top six in the competition to progress to finals. Meaning they had never been in a semifinal, or even close to being in a showpiece of the women’s game with silverware on the line.

“When they announced Bev as the coach and then they secured a lot of incredible signings, I think it all of a sudden went from let’s push for top six to, wow, we really are contenders here,” Alfeld said of this season.

“There was almost this added pressure and expectation that anything less than probably a final would be, for lack of a better word, a failure.

“We had the right ingredients, so it’s been really interesting to see how the team has dealt with that, and I think Bev has been an incredible leader that has kept everyone focused and on the task at hand and game by game, because it is so easy to get carried away, especially when the success hasn’t always been there.

“It is a long time coming, but I think they’ve just got all the ingredients right this year and it’s all come together perfectly.”

Alfeld was impressed with the “incredible resilience” of the players who had to overcome a one goal deficit from the first leg of the home and away semifinals against Brisbane Roar to win the second in front of their home supporters at Porirua Park to secure the grand final berth.

“It just shows the grit and the mental strength this team has to overcome a challenge that they haven’t faced before. “

The second semifinal on Sunday was played in front of a record crowd of nearly 6000 people.

Alfeld remembered the early days of playing in closed stadiums in Australia during Covid, with a bit of online support “from mainly family and friends”.

“It felt like a small supporter base to where it is now.

“It’s not just young girls, it’s young boys that you see are just so excited to meet these players, to hear about their stories and their journeys.

“My favourite part is just going into that school and meeting a kid that is just so excited to meet this player and that aspires to be like them. It’s pretty special that these players get the opportunity to be those role models.”

Alfeld grew up as a Phoenix supporter – of the men’s team.

She started her top level playing days at college in America and then for Perth Glory in the A-League before she got the opportunity to come home and have an influence on the next generation of players.

As the Phoenix women play out their best season Alfeld was happy with where she was.

“I’m very lucky I have that front row seat to witness all that and to see the effects on the community and our supporters.”
