    Doueihi, Tigers to hold crisis meeting over future

    The Wests Tigers and Adam Doueihi will hold a crisis meeting at some point between now and Monday to clear the air after another tumultuous week at Concord.

    Doueihi was expected to play on Saturday afternoon against the Canberra Raiders on the road after beating the judiciary on Tuesday evening, but ultimately pulled out of the game after being left less than impressed with a selection decision from Benji Marshall.

    In that, Doueihi was told he would either play at lock or come off the bench in the game against the Raiders, while Jarome Luai, who leaves the club at the end of the year and has been in poor form, would be left to partner rookie Javon Andrews in the halves.

    That caused Doueihi to walk out of training and elect to make himself unavailable for this weekend's game, with the club agreeing he wasn't in the headspace to play.

  • Raiders get boost for home clash as contentious ref calls questioned

    Canberra Raiders coach Darrin Borthwick expressed frustration over a hip-drop tackle, but Charlotte Basham has been cleared to play.

    The Canberra Times

    Canberra Raiders coach Darrin Borthwick was sweating when Charlotte Basham copped a nasty hip-drop tackle in last weekend's heartstopping loss to the Roosters.

    He was especially nervous when Basham limped off the field and didn't return to the game, and then frustration emerged when the Roosters player guilty of the foul play was not sin-binned.

    It led to the coach dishing out criticism towards the referees that he felt missed the mark in a game with more than a few contentious calls.

    Borthwick has ridden the emotional rollercoaster with every step of Basham's ordeal this past week, but the Raiders received a boost on Friday, with the back-rower cleared to play the Cronulla Sharks in their home clash on Saturday.

    Yvette Berry's resignation prompts speculation on her replacement, with key focus on education and sports amid ongoing challenges.

    The Canberra Times

    Will the next ACT Labor minister please stand up? Yvette Berry's resignation in the wake of an ACT Integrity Commission investigation has sparked discussion about who will step in to replace her.

    There are several contenders who will put their hands up to take over her portfolios, which included education and early childhood, homes, homeless and new suburbs and sport and recreation.

    And while much of the focus will be on education - a hugely important area in Canberra - those in sporting circles were abuzz on Thursday with speculation about who will take the reins at a critical time.

    Sports have been hammered by the rising cost of registration, poor quality playing fields, venue vandalism, funding battles and stalled projects from the Home of Football in Throsby to the continually delayed ice rink in Tuggeranong.
