Craig Field. Manslaughter charge, time served & Tigers memories.

Kuvaus

Craig Field could be considered one of the most polarising figures in rugby league. The diminutive halfback was told he was to small to ever play NRL yet went onto to play in 183 games - representing South Sydney, Manly and the Wests Tigers. Fast forward to today and Field is putting his life back together after being sentenced to 10 years jail for the manslaughter of a man following a fight outside the Kingscliff Hotel on July 15, 2012. In this episode of Chiming In, Field talks candidly about the day his life changed forever and his efforts to ensure people learn from his mistakes. He also reflects on a football career which saw him debut for Souths as a 17-year-old, play for Manly in the 1997 grand final and later become part of a Wests Tigers outfit that was full of talent but failed to fire. 00:00 - Start 00:04 - Highlights 02:04 – Released from prison 02:53 – What is doing today 06:09 – Craig coaching 07:33 – Growing up 08:24 – Starting League 13:59 – Rabbitohs false start 16:44 – Souths debut 20:42 – Form flatlining 21:44 – 1994 “arrival” as a player 23:44 – Rough time growing up 26:12 – Blowing cash & regrets 29:09 – Balancing passion and gifts as a coach 33:30 – Credit to grassroots volunteers 39:32 – Tenure at Tigers 42:49 – Trouble with alcohol & drugs 46:36 – John Hopoate incident 49:04 – Kingscliff Hotel jailing 53:22 – Police arrest 01:01:39 – Motivational speaking ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Peter O'Sullivan. Building the Dolphins, Warriors, Roosters, Storm & more!

Peter O’Sullivan is regarded the NRL’s premier recruitment manager having successfully shaped the playing rosters of teams like the Dragons, Roosters, Storm, Warriors and Knights over many years. He was also responsible for putting together the Dolphins inaugural team in 2023 - which, amazingly, less than four seasons later, is now considered a genuine premiership contender. So what does a recruitment manager do and how does he identify and procure talent. O’Sullivan is credited with unearthing and launching the careers of players such as Greg Inglis, Latrell Mitchel, Israel Folau, Roger Tuivasa-Scheck and many, many more. He also plays a key role in the salary cap management of his club. Today O’Sullivan is an integral part of the Newcastle Knights system and was the man responsible for luring Dylan Brown away from Parramatta in sensational circumstances. In this episode of Chiming In, you are given a birds’ eye view into the tricks of the recruitment manager’s trade - how they identify players, entice them to switch clubs and build powerful playing rosters. With new teams Perth and Papua New Guinea on the horizon, no-one is better qualified than O’Sullivan to comment on how their new look rosters are shaping up.
