Bird on report as Rabbitohs run riot
NSW’s hopes of breaking Queensland’s State of Origin stranglehold may rest with the match review committee after Blues enforcer Greg Bird was placed on report for a lifting tackle in the Titans’ 40-18 loss to South Sydney on Saturday night.Bird, who was engaged in a running battle with the referees for much of the evening, was part of a three-man tackle that got Rabbitohs winger Bryson Goodwin into a potentially dangerous position in the 60th minute of a lopsided encounter.It was a controversial moment that could potentially overshadow a memorable evening for South Sydney centre Dylan Walker, who showed that he is as quick between the ears as he is with his feet with four tries at Cbus Super Stadium.A week after enduring a tough afternoon in his senior representative debut opposing Jamal Idris in the City-Country fixture, Walker toyed with the Titans defence from his very first possession and had three tries by the 43rd minute of the game, adding a fourth in the 66th minute courtesy of a Greg Inglis offload close to the Titans’ line.And it wasn’t just Walker who staged his own coming-out party, with fellow 19-year-old Alex Johnston adding two more tries to his four-pointer on debut against the Broncos in Round 8 and Kirisome Auva’a proving a handful for the Titans’ right-edge defence.In front of a crowd of 19,107 who created an atmosphere more reminiscent of Redfern than Robina, the Rabbitohs bounced out to a 22-0 lead inside the opening 20 minutes before the Titans worked their way back into the game with two tries of their own before half-time.Walker’s third try in the third minute of the second half extended the Rabbitohs’ advantage to 16 points and they continued to pressure the Titans tryline. Walker was denied a fourth try before later righting the ledger, while Johnston’s 90m effort was brought back as last year’s preliminary finalists asserted their premiership credentials against a side still trying to convince many that they are genuine contenders.After Walker scored his fourth try in the 65th minute, Johnston showed how quickly his NRL education is developing by following George Burgess up the middle of the ruck and being perfectly positioned to take a flick pass from the rampant Englishman and racing 20m to score under the posts.The Titans may have been given first use of the football but from the moment Inglis collected an Aidan Sezer kick on his 20-metre line and charged into the Gold Coast defence the Rabbitohs completely dictated the terms of play.From the very next tackle Walker went skirting around the Titans’ left-edge defence and by the time he got to Gold Coast winger Anthony Don on the very outside and still had Auva’a in support the fast break was on. Auva’a was set free down the left and managed to hold off two Titans defenders for long enough to position Walker on his inside, his left-hand offload sending his centre partner on an unimpeded run to the line.From the very next set George Burgess – who made 39 metres in his first two hit-ups – rumbled through the middle of the field on a trademark charge and in the seventh minute Auva’a went from provider to try-scorer, when he collected a John Sutton kick that deflected off Titans second-rower Dave Taylor before landing in his arms six metres out from the line.Auva’a then burrowed his way towards the line and when the video referee had decided there was insufficient evidence of a possible double movement to overturn the on-field official’s ruling the Rabbitohs had their second.Just three minutes later they had their third when Walker danced around at dummy-half before using his speed and power to bullock his way over in the right-hand corner and the visitors had converted 65 per cent of possession into 16 points by the 10th minute.George Burgess, Sam Burgess and Kyle Turner continued to make inroads in the middle of the field and when Inglis stepped in to first receiver with the Titans on the back foot the alarm bells should have reached maximum volume.Inglis did a number on Sezer 35m out before releasing Adam Reynolds on a run into the backfield, where he sized up the chasing David Mead before sending a perfectly-timed pass for winger Johnston to score on the right and a 22-0 lead after 15 minutes.The Titans finally began to work their way into the contest and although they wasted some attacking opportunities inside the Rabbitohs 20m line, they turned momentum against the run of play when Anthony Don seized a floating John Sutton pass before running 60m to put the home side on the board.It was Don again just before half-time who gave Titans fans some glimmer of hope to cling on to at the break when he soared high above Auva’a and Bryson Goodwin to snatch a flat Albert Kelly cross-kick, Sezer’s subsequent conversion making the deficit a manageable 10 points at the break.It wasn’t a night without some nervous moments for Rabbitohs coach Michael Maguire, with Reynolds having to leave the field with concussion in the 52nd minute and battling a back injury, and Inglis looking troubled by a leg injury throughout proceedings.The Titans must now pick themselves up for a showdown with Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium next Friday night which will take on extra significance with the gruelling Origin period looming large on the horizon.South Sydney Rabbitohs 40 (Dylan Walker 4, Alex Johnston 2, Kirisome Auva’a tries; Bryson Goodwin 4, Adam Reynolds 2 goals) defeated Gold Coast Titans 18 (Anthony Don 2, Dave Taylor tries; Aidan Sezer 3 goals) at Cbus Super Stadium. Crowd: 19,107. Half-time: Rabbitohs 22-12. – NRL.com

Davis said the Pelicans’ first-half defense was lazy.“The whole first half they did whatever they wanted,” he said. “They didn’t feel us on the defensive end.”Despite playing without injured Caris LeVert, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Allen Crabbe, the Nets won for the seventh time in their last eight home games. They finished with seven players in double figures, with DeMarre Carroll (19) and Spencer Dinwiddie (18) leading a bench effort that had a whopping 55-5 advantage over the New Orleans reserves.“Losing Caris and Allen Crabbe and Rondae, I just think we’re a deeper squad and we’re a better squad. But we have a tough road ahead here, especially short-handed,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “If we can weather the storm I think until we’re fully healthy, maybe we can do something important.”Elfrid Payton scored 25 points for New Orleans in his second game back after missing more than a month with a broken finger.

Earlier this week, dozens of officers threatened to leave their units and during a more than three-hour commission meeting about a dozen narcotics officers sat in the audience wearing buttons with a red slash through the words “financial disclosure.” Kenneth Bryant, a supervisor in the department’s Narcotics Division, estimates at least 90 percent of the unit’s 200 officers will leave if the rule is imposed. The rule is set to be phased in over two years, with all gang and narcotics officers ranked lieutenant or lower required to reveal their properties, past-due credit-card debts, outside income, stocks, bonds and checking account information. Officers already in the units would not have to submit their private information for two years. New ones would be forced to show their records within 10 days of starting. But union officials said that with the LAPD’s poor record-keeping, the personnel files could easily slip into the wrong hands or be obtained in court proceedings. Commission members countered that less stringent, alternative plans have previously been rejected by U.S. District Judge Gary Feess, who oversees the consent decree and will ultimately decide whether to lift it in June 2009. “I cannot look the officers in the eye and tell them that I think that financial disclosure will do anything to improve the Los Angeles Police Department except to get us beyond the consent decree,” Commissioner Alan Skobin said. “I hold no illusions that this financial disclosure would in any way identify or expose what I believe are very rare instances of corruption. Quite frankly, I believe it will not.” Financial disclosure is the last of dozens of consent-decree reforms intended to identify rogue and potential problem officers who deal with large amounts of cash, drugs and guns. The mandated reforms arose out of the Rampart scandal of the late 1990s in which several gang officers were implicated in framing and beating suspects. LAPD Chief William Bratton, who was out of town Thursday, has made lifting the decree a top priority for his administration. A former consent-decree monitor, he has expressed sympathy with already heavily scrutinized gang and narcotics officers. “The goal is to achieve full compliance with the consent decree, so we do believe this is the last significant piece we need to put into place to make it happen,” said Assistant Chief Sharon Papa, noting the department plans to destroy individual police records two years after their service. Still, the plan drew criticism from the City Council. Shortly after the meeting, Councilman Jack Weiss announced plans to bring financial disclosure before the council in January, where a majority vote could overturn the commission’s decision. “This proposal will do very little to root out bad cops, but will do an awful lot of harm in demoralizing good cops,” said Weiss, head of the council’s Public Safety Committee. “You have to worry about the impact of something like this on recruitment.” The LAPD says the two-year grace period would allow it time to quell any exodus by placing any officers seeking a transfer into other units and easing new officers into gang or drug details. “We don’t know yet how many officers are going to request transfers. There’s a lot of discussion, there’s a lot of debate, there’s a lot of speculation,” Papa said. “It will be a very thoughtful process and it would not affect public safety.” rachel.uranga@dailynews.com160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You’re all set! Despite threats of a mass defection of gang and narcotics officers, the Los Angeles Police Commission on Thursday unanimously approved an unprecedented requirement forcing cops from those crime-fighting units to provide details of their personal finances. All five members of the civilian commission struck an almost apologetic tone after passing the rule, calling it the last hurdle in complying with a costly federal consent decree imposed after the Rampart corruption scandal exposed a pattern of police abuse. “It is not a sign of a lack of confidence in sworn officers but rather of compliance with the consent decree,” commission President Anthony Pacheco said. “This is just one mechanism in the arsenal to ferret out any wrongdoing.” But the powerful Los Angeles Police Protective League immediately filed a lawsuit Thursday to block the rule that would affect about 500 officers, charging that it violates union members’ collective-bargaining rights and invades officers’ privacy.

And, they said, digging through financial records will not uncover crooked cops. “These financial-disclosure requirements are a disaster for the city of Los Angeles and for its experienced and dedicated police officers,” said Tim Sands, president of the police union representing about 9,500 officers. “Based on our interviews with officers out there, prior to being served with financial disclosure, they will be walking. “I am disappointed. I did not want to go down this road.” 
The people of Donegal may get front row seats to see two groups battle it out for Donegal’s radio license.Highland Radio and a new consortium will battle it out for the license.Both Highland Radio and another consortium led by former station boss Charlie Collins have until September 23rd to put in their applications.After that, the Broadcasting Association of Ireland has to go through a series of stages before picking a new licensee. The BAI could simply decide who to appoint the license to straight away after the deadline.However, it is thought the group may ask a series of supplementary questions to both groups about their applications.It is then the body are most likely to ask both groups to make an oral presentation as to who is best-suited to win the license.And that will most likely be heard before an open public meeting in Donegal. Any such meeting would be expected to draw a huge audience.However, the audience reaction would have absolutely no say in who will get the license.Whoever wins the license will not be in place until October 1st next year as set down by the BAI.It is thought a decision will be made on the future of the broadcasting license before Christmas.A well-placed source said “It’s going to be an intriguing battle between both groups. “Highland obviously have a strong case as they are the sitting tenant but the new consortium, with Charlie Collins as a major player, also have a major claim to the license.“Any public presentation will be fascinating. They could sell tickets for that one and it will be a guaranteed sell-out.”CONSORTIUMS SET TO BATTLE IT OUT IN PUBLIC FOR DONEGAL RADIO LICENSE was last modified: September 11th, 2013 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:BAIconsortiumdonegalHighland Radio

The latest crime figures from An Garda Siochana have revealed that the Letterkenny Garda District accounts for 60% of all crime in the county.The statistic was released by Donegal’s Garda Chief Superintendent, Terry McGinn.And the figures for various crimes across the county show a worrying trend that the majority of crimes are o the increase compared to this time last year. Burglary, thefts from cars, assaults and drugs offences are ALL up so far for the first ten months of 2019 compared o the same period last year.Chief Superintendent McGinn stressed that the Letterkenny District which covers Ballybofey and Lifford is the largest centre of population.Property crimes have risen from 407 last year to 490 so far this year.Non-aggravated burglary, which are burglaries which do not involve threats or violence have shown a marked increase from 76 last year to 114 so far this year. Thefts from shops have also risen from 153 last year to 175 so far this year.Thefts from vehicles in the Letterkenny District have jumped from 29 to 34.Assaults causing harm have also risen from 230 to 263.Public order offences have dropped slightly from 324 last year to 319 this year.Chief Supt McGinn addressed each area of crime being committed across the county as a whole. Addressing the area of assaults, she described the number of assaults as “being off the radar.”However, she stressed the number of Garda man-hours which had to be put into this area including the following-up of complaints and investigating incidents before they may eventually end up in court.She specifically mentioned Ballybofey which had a 24 hour Garda presence in the local station and confirmed that crime was on the rise in the town.Revealed: Letterkenny District accounts for 60% of all of Donegal’s crime was last modified: December 11th, 2019 by StephenShare this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Tags:Chief Supt Terry McGinncrimeletterkennystats
