IT'S MIDDAY. WHAT EXACTLY DOES RESPECTING KIWI VALUES MEAN? COULD NEW ZEALAND FIRST'S PROPOSAL FOR MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES REALLY FLY? THE DEATH TOLL CONTINUES TO RISE IN INDONESIA, AS RESCUE CREWS SCRAMBLE THROUGH THE DEBRIS FROM THE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI. AND BROKEN SHOULDER AND ALL, COOPER CRONK GUIDES THE ROOSTERS TO ANOTHER NRL PREMIERSHIP. CAPTIONS BY FAITH HAMBLYN AND ANTONY VLUG. CAPTIONS WERE MADE WITH THE SUPPORT OF NZ ON AIR. COPYRIGHT ABLE 2018. DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER WINSTON PETERS IS HEADING TO INDONESIA TODAY, LEAVING BEHIND A POLITICAL STORM. THE NEW ZEALAND FIRST LEADER BACKED HIS PARTY'S SUPPORT FOR A BILL THAT WOULD ESTABLISH A 'RESPECTING NEW ZEALAND VALUES' PLEDGE FOR MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AT THE PARTY'S ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN TAURANGA AT THE WEEKEND, AND IT'S BEEN RECEIVED WITH PLENTY OF CRITICISM. INDIA LEISHMAN HAS THE DETAILS. IT'S A PROPOSAL THAT'S STIRRING THE POLITICAL POT ` WE WILL ALWAYS PUT THE PEOPLE OF NEW ZEALAND FIRST. NEW ZEALAND FIRST'S LEADER, WINSTON PETERS, PITCHING THE IDEA OF A VALUE STATEMENT FOR NEW MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. WHEN PEOPLE COME HERE FROM VERY DISPARATE COUNTRIES AND WITH NO UNDERSTANDING OF OUR LAWS AND OUR VALUES, MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE ACQUAINTED WITH THEM. MR PETERS SAYS SIMILAR LAWS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE AROUND THE WORLD. AND ALL WE'RE SAYING IS WHAT, FOR EXAMPLE, FRANCE SAYS, AUSTRALIA SAYS AND CANADA SAYS. BUT NOT EVERYONE'S CONVINCED, WITH SOME SAYING THE BILL WOULD BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO ACTION. COMING UP WITH A LIST OF NEW ZEALAND VALUES THAT ALL NEW ZEALANDERS ACTUALLY AGREE WITH IS VERY DIFFICULT. OPPOSITION LEADER SIMON BRIDGES ISN'T ON BOARD EITHER. HE CALLED THE IDEA HEADLINE-GRABBING NONSENSE WHEN HE SPOKE TO TVNZ'S BREAKFAST SHOW THIS MORNING. AND THE REALITY IS HE WON'T DO IT, BECAUSE HE HASN'T DONE REALLY ANY OF THE THINGS HE PROMISED PRIOR TO THE ELECTION, WHETHER IT'S SLASHING IMMIGRANTS, GETTING RID OF MAORI SEATS OR THIS. SPECIFICS FOR THE BILL ARE YET TO BE DETERMINED, BUT IT'S A SUBJECT MR PETERS IS LIKELY TO BE QUESTIONED OVER UPON HIS RETURN FROM INDONESIA. INDIA LEISHMAN, 1 NEWS. MORE THAN 830 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN INDONESIA FOLLOWING THE 7.5-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI THAT ROCKED THE ISLAND OF SULAWESI. MASS FUNERALS ARE NOW UNDERWAY, WITH THE DEATH TOLL EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE THOUSANDS. THE BBC'S REBECCA HENSCHKE REPORTS. UP TO 50 PEOPLE ARE BELIEVED TO STILL BE UNDER THE RUBBLE OF THE ROA ROA HOTEL HERE IN PALU CITY. RESCUE WORKERS ARE TRYING TO FIND SURVIVORS. WITH NO HEAVY BUILDING EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE, THEY'RE USING WHATEVER THEY HAVE. CRIES OF HELP HAD BEEN HEARD FROM THE RUBBLE. IN THIS CASE, IT CAME TOO LATE. TRANSLATOR: LOOKING AT THE CONDITIONS THERE, THERE ARE STILL BODIES UNIDENTIFIED, AS WELL AS VICTIMS BURIED UNDER RUBBLE. THERE ARE ALSO REMOTE AREAS YET TO BE REACHED BY THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS. PRESIDENT JOKO WIDODO HAS VISITED THE AREA, PROMISING TO SPEED UP THE AID OPERATION. HUNDREDS OF MILITARY PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED, AND SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE ARE GETTING HELP. AND WITH AID ONLY NOW JUST TRICKLING IN, DESPERATE RESIDENTS ARE TAKING MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. TRANSLATOR: WE NEED TO EAT. WE DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE ` WE MUST GET FOOD. BUT AS SUPPLIES RUN OUT, MANY HAVEN'T MADE IT. THE BODIES FROM THIS AREA ARE LINED UP AT THE NEARBY HEALTH CLINIC. DOCTORS SAY THAT IN THIS MUSLIM-MAJORITY COUNTRY, THEY WILL BE BURIED IN A MASS GRAVE SOON TO STOP THE SPREAD OF DISEASES. THIS 5-YEAR-OLD GIRL WAS FOUND ALONE WITH A BROKEN LEG. SHE KNOWS HER NAME, BUT HER FAMILY IS MISSING, AND SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE SHE LIVED. DOCTORS ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO LOOK AFTER HER. THE CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER IS CALLING FOR AN OVERHAUL OF THE CURRENT CARE SYSTEMS IN PLACE FOR CHILDREN WITH HIGH-RISK BEHAVIOUR. TWO-THIRDS OF CHILDREN IN STATE CARE IDENTIFY AS MAORI. ANDREW BECROFT SAYS THEY'RE WORKING WITH MAORI AND IWI ORGANISATIONS TO ENSURE VULNERABLE CHILDREN GET THE WRAPAROUND SUPPORT THEY NEED. I THINK THE 21 EXPERIENCES ARE FOR EVERYBODY, BUT PARTICULARLY, GIVEN THE HUGE OVERREPRESENTATION OF MAORI IN THE SYSTEM, IT JUST ABOUT NOW NEEDS A MAORI WORLD VIEW AS ITS BASIS. I MEAN, AT THE MOMENT, WE'VE REALLY GOT A PAKEHA/EUROPEAN WORLD VIEW WITH MAORI ADD-ONS. THERE'S A STRONG CASE FOR TURNING THAT AROUND COMPLETELY. SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN THE HOUSING GAME, WITH NATIONAL REAL ESTATE LISTINGS REACHING THEIR HIGHEST POINT IN NEARLY A DECADE. MORE THAN 40% OF THOSE LISTINGS ARE IN AUCKLAND. EXPERTS SAY IT REFLECTS BOTH BUYERS' AND SELLERS' CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENT HOUSING MARKET. TYPICALLY, WHEN YOU'RE A SELLER, YOU'RE ALSO A BUYER, SO YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU'RE COMING OUT OF YOUR HOME, THERE IS SOMETHING FOR YOU TO GO TO. AND THAT CONFIDENCE WITHIN THE MARKETPLACE, IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IT IS, IS THAT SELLERS COME TO THE MARKET BECAUSE THEY'RE ALSO CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN BUY WITHIN THE SAME. A NITROGEN UNIT WILL ARRIVE ON THE WEST COAST TODAY, AS THE SECOND PHASE OF PIKE RIVER RE-ENTRY RISK ASSESSMENTS GET UNDERWAY. OVER THE COMING DAYS, OFFICIALS WILL CONDUCT A REVIEW OF THEIR FINDINGS OF THE THREE POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR RE-ENTRY. A FINAL REVIEW OF THE RISK ASSESSMENT IS EXPECTED LATER THIS MONTH, WHEN THE MINISTER SIGNS OFF ON THE PREFERRED OPTION. THE UN HAS CRITICISED CHINA FOR OVERFISHING, CAUSING LOW FISH SUPPLIES IN THE OCEAN. ACCORDING TO THE UN, 90% OF FISHERIES HAVE COLLAPSED, WITH CHINA ONE OF THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS. THE COUNTRY HAS 2600 MEGA TRAWLERS ` THE LARGEST FLEET IN THE WORLD. THE ABC'S MATTHEW CARNEY REPORTS. THE FISHING SEASON HAS OPENED ON THE EASTERN COAST OF CHINA. THE FLEET IN ZHOUSHAN IS ON THE MOVE. 500 TRAWLERS WILL HEAD DEEPER INTO THE OCEANS THIS YEAR AND STAY OUT FOR LONGER. EACH SEASON IS GETTING HARDER. THE SEAS HAVE VIRTUALLY NO FISH, BUT THE COMMERCIAL FLEET IS GROWING, WITH AN ESTIMATED 200,000 BOATS, ACCOUNTING FOR NEARLY HALF OF THE WORLD'S FISHING. TRANSLATOR: WHEN I STARTED TO FISH, WE COULD FILL OUR BOATS COMPLETELY IN AN HOUR. THERE WERE FISH EVERYWHERE. NOW THERE ARE LESS FISH, AND IT'S RARE TO GET A BIG ONE. MOST OF THE CATCH NOW IS TRASH FISH ` TINY SPECIMENS WITH LITTLE VALUE. THE ONLY THING KEEPING THE CAPTAIN AND HIS CREW AFLOAT ARE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES. THE SUBSIDIES MIGHT BE KEEPING THEM IN JOBS, BUT OVERFISHING IS THREATENING THE ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM. AND CAPTAIN WANG DONG HAS AN EVEN BIGGER COMPLAINT. HE SAYS CHINA'S MEGA TRAWLERS ` AND THERE'S 2600 OF THEM ` ARE MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE. TRANSLATOR: THEIR FISH NETS KILL EVERYTHING. THE MEGA TRAWLERS HAVE BIGGER ENGINES, SO WHEN THEY PASS, THERE ARE HARDLY ANY FISH LEFT. THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT'S TAKING ACTION ` AT LEAST WITH THE SMALLER FLEETS IT CAN CONTROL CLOSER TO HOME. TRANSLATOR: WE'RE EXTENDING FISHING BANS, RELEASING MORE BABY FISH AND STARTING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF BOATS. BUT AUTHORITIES ACKNOWLEDGE THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE CHINESE MEGA TRAWLERS ON THE HIGH SEAS. THEY OFTEN UNDER-REPORT OR DON'T RECORD THEIR CATCHES. CHINA'S MEGA TRAWLERS ARE TARGETING THE SEAS IN THE NORTH-WEST PACIFIC, SOUTH AMERICA AND WESTERN AFRICA. CONSERVATIONISTS SAY IF CHINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T CHANGE THEIR FISHING MODELS, THERE WILL BE LITTLE LEFT FOR THE NEXT GENERATION. BRITISH PRIME MINISTER THERESA MAY SAYS SHE'S CONFIDENT IN HER BREXIT PLAN, DESPITE CRITICISM FROM HER OWN PARTY AND THE OPPOSITION. FORMER FOREIGN SECRETARY BORIS JOHNSON HAS SLAMMED MS MAY, SAYING HER PROPOSAL IS DERANGED. THE BBC'S CHRIS MASON REPORTS. ARGUMENTS OVER BREXIT AREN'T OVER. WE KNOW THE STRUGGLE! THE VOLUME RISING... GO AND LIVE THERE IF YOU LIKE IT SO MUCH! ...AS THE TORIES GET TOGETHER HERE. ALL CHANT: BIN BREXIT NOW! BIN BREXIT NOW! BECAUSE IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, THE KIND OF BREXIT WE GET WILL BE DECIDED. ALL CHANT: BIN BREXIT NOW! BIN BREXIT NOW! THE KIND OF FUTURE THERESA MAY FACES MIGHT BE SETTLED TOO. MY MESSAGE TO MY PARTY IS, LET'S COME TOGETHER AND GET THE BEST DEAL FOR BRITAIN. I DO BELIEVE IN BREXIT, BUT CRUCIALLY, I BELIEVE IN DELIVERING BREXIT IN A WAY THAT RESPECTS THE VOTE AND DELIVERS ON THE VOTE OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE. THERE IS A BIG PUSH HERE TO DITCH HER SO-CALLED CHEQUERS COMPROMISE PLAN, WHERE PARTS OF THE ECONOMY STAY UNDER EU RULES. BUT A BLAST AT THE CONTINENT FROM THE PLATFORM FROM THE FOREIGN SECRETARY ` TAKE BRITAIN'S PROPOSAL SERIOUSLY OR RUE THE DAY. IF YOU TURN THE EU CLUB INTO A PRISON, THE DESIRE TO GET OUT OF IT WON'T DIMINISH; IT'LL GROW. AND WE WON'T BE THE ONLY PRISONER THAT WILL WANT TO ESCAPE. (CHEERING) THE PRIME MINISTER IS INTENT ON FINDING OUR WAY OUT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION. BUT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS, AS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, THAT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CHARTING A WAY THROUGH WITH THE EU, BUT ABOUT SEEKING A PLACE WITH HER PARTY. NO ONE'S SITTING COMFORTABLY HERE. THE FBI HAVE BEGUN THEIR INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT BY U.S. SUPREME COURT NOMINEE BRETT KAVANAUGH. THEY'VE SPOKEN TO THE SECOND WOMAN TO ACCUSE MR KAVANUGH, WHO SAYS HE 'EXPOSED HIMSELF' TO HER AT A PARTY WHEN THEY WERE BOTH STUDENTS AT YALE UNIVERSITY, WHICH HE DENIES. THE ABC'S KYRA PHILLIPS HAS THE LATEST. THE MOST CLOSELY WATCHED AND HIGHLY SCRUTINISED BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY IS UNDERWAY. ABC NEWS HAS LEARNED THE FBI HAS CONDUCTED ITS FIRST INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH RAMIREZ, SHE... AN ALLEGATION SHE STOOD BY TODAY. KAVANAUGH DENIES THE ACCUSATION. THE PRESIDENT SAYING THE FBI WILL HAVE FREE REIGN IN ITS PROBE. THEY WILL BE DOING THINGS WE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF. AND HOPEFULLY AT THE CONCLUSION, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. HOWEVER, SOURCES TELLING ABC NEWS THIS ONE-WEEK INVESTIGATION COMES WITH LIMITS, REINFORCING EMERGING CONCERNS THAT THE PROBE INTO ALLEGATIONS JUDGE BRETT KAVANAUGH SEXUALLY ASSUALTED CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD IS TOO NARROW. WHATEVER THE COMMITTEE DECIDES, YEAH, I'M ALL IN. THE FBI WILL INTERVIEW JUDGE KAVANAUGH, DR FORD, AND THREE MORE WITNESSES ` KAVANAUGH'S TWO SCHOOL MATES, MARK JUDGE AND PJ SYMTH. AND LELAND KEYSER, WHO FORD CLAIMS WAS AT A GATHERING WHERE THE ALLEGE ASSAULT OCCURED. KEYSER ALREADY ON RECORD SAYING SHE RECALLS NO SUCH INCIDENT. KAVANAUGH DENIES ALL ACCUSATIONS. HOWEVER, OTHER KAVANAUGH CLASS MATES WHO CONTRADICT HIS TESTIMONY ABOUT DRINKING AREN'T ON THE LIST. YES OR NO? STILL TO COME ON MIDDAY ` FEELING LONELY? NEW RESEARCH THAT SHOWS YOUNGER PEOPLE FEEL IT MORE OFTEN AND MORE INTENSELY THAN ANY OTHER AGE GROUP. THE ROOSTERS ARE CROWNED NRL PREMIERS AFTER A STUNNING ONE-ARMED PERFORMANCE FROM COOPER CRONK.

THE MOTHER AND A TEENAGER WERE KILLED, AND THE FATHER IS A IN A CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER THEY WERE CRASHED INTO BY AN UNLICENCED DRIVER. THE DRIVER HAS BEEN CHARGED FOR THEIR DEATHS. CHANNEL NINE'S TIFFINY GENDERS REPORTS. BRONCO AND KATHERINE HOANG WERE MADLY IN LOVE. THEY MARRIED IN APRIL AND WERE DUE TO BECOME PARENTS TO TWIN BABY BOYS WITHIN DAYS. INSTEAD THEY WERE ROBBED OF THEIR DREAMS, ALLEGEDLY BY A DRIVER WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL ` 29-YEAR-OLD FATHER OF FOUR RICHARD MOANANU, WHO DOESN'T EVEN HOLD A LICENCE. WELL, THESE ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT CHARGES FOR THIS 29-YEAR-OLD MALE TO BE CHARGED WITH. MOANANU IS FACING A TOTAL OF 10 CHARGES, INCLUDING TWO COUNTS OF MANSLAUGHTER OVER THE DEATHS OF A 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL, AS WELL AS KATHERINE AND HER UNBORN BABIES. COURT DOCUMENTS ALLEGE HE WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE NORTHERN ROAD, TRAVELLING AT MORE THAN 45KM OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. AS MOANANU FACED A BEDSIDE COURT HEARING FROM WESTMEAD HOSPITAL TODAY, BRONCO HOANG'S FAMILY WAS ALSO HERE, PRAYING FOR A MIRACLE. THE 25-YEAR-OLD REMAINS IN A COMA, FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE. THIS WOMAN, WHO'S TOO SHAKEN TO SHOW HER FACE, ONLY NARROWLY ESCAPED THE OUT-OF-CONTROL MAZDA. A QUESTION RICHARD MOANANU WILL NOW HAVE TO PONDER BEHIND BARS. NEW RESEARCH IN BRITAIN SHOWS YOUNGER PEOPLE EXPERIENCE LONELINESS MORE OFTEN AND MORE INTENSELY THAN ANY OTHER AGE GROUP. THE SURVEY FOUND MORE THAN 40% OF 16- TO 24-YEAR-OLDS FEEL LONELY OFTEN OR VERY OFTEN. THE BBC'S JAMES GALLAGHER REPORTS. COME HERE! HANNAH DESCRIBES HERSELF AS CONFIDENT AND FRIENDLY, YET SHE ALSO SAYS SHE'S LONELY. THE BBC SURVEY SHOWS THAT WE, LIKE HANNAH, IT'S BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 AND 24 THAT WE FEEL LONELY MORE OFTEN AND MORE INTENSELY THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME IN OUR LIVES. LIKE, WITH WORKING WITH OLDER PEOPLE, IT'S A LITTLE BIT EASIER FOR THEM TO ADMIT THAT THEY'RE LONELY. BUT FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE, THEY'RE, LIKE, 'WHY ARE YOU LONELY? 'YOU GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. YOU'RE CONSTANTLY SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE.' SCIENTISTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER SAY THE STUDY REINFORCES THAT WE CAN BE ALONE IN A CROWD AND THAT BEING DISCONNECTED FROM THE WORLD AROUND US IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF LONELINESS. THAT MIGHT BE WHY THE YOUNG ARE MOST AT RISK. WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS YOU'RE GOING OUT IN THE WORLD, YOU'RE HAVING TO WORK OUT WHO YOU ARE, WHAT GROUPS YOU FIT INTO. AND IT'S A REAL POINT IN YOUR LIFE OF LOTS OF CHANGES. VOLUNTEERING IS ONE WAY HANNAH COPES WITH HER LONELINESS. SHE HELPS ORGANISE FAST FRIENDS ` IT'S A PLACE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE FEELING LONELY TO FIND SOMEONE TO TALK TO. IT'S NOT REALLY ROCKET SCIENCE. I THINK YOU JUST HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT HOW THEY FEEL AND TRY AND BLOW THAT STIGMA OUT OF THE WATER, REALLY. HANNAH MAY NOT BE SOCIETY'S STEREOTYPE OF LONELINESS, BUT IF THERE'S ONE THING THE STUDY SHOWS, IT'S HOW LONELINESS CAN AFFECT US AT ANY STAGE IN OUR LIVES. PRINCE WILLIAM HAS MADE HIMSELF AT HOME ON AN OFFICIAL VISIT TO KENYA BY PLAYING FOOTBALL WITH THE LOCALS. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE HANDED OUT JERSEYS FROM THE BRITISH FOOTBALL CLUB HE SUPPORTS, ASTON VILLA. BUT TURNS OUT HE'S NOT A STAR PLAYER, MISSING THREE GOALS DURING THE FRIENDLY KICK ABOUT. HE ALSO JOINED MORE THAN 100 BRITISH SOLDIERS DURING MILITARY DRILLS AND MET WITH THE KENYAN PRESIDENT. TO SPORT NOW, AND THE ROOSTERS' GRAND-FINAL GAMBLE ON COOPER CRONK HAS PAID OFF, AS THE SYDNEY SIDE DESTROYED THE MELBOURNE STORM. THE HALFBACK BRAVED A BROKEN SHOULDER TO PLAY ALL BUT TWO MINUTES OF SYDNEY'S 21-6 WIN OVER THE DEFENDING CHAMP. VICTOR WATERS HAS ALL THE ACTION. IT'S BEEN DUBBED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST GRAND FINAL PERFORMANCES IN NRL HISTORY. COOPER CRONK COULD BARELY LIFT HIS ARM, YET INCREDIBLY, THE HALFBACK COULD STILL PULL THE ROOSTERS' STRINGS. STILL A GOOD OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR THE ROOSTERS, A FLOATER. COOPER WILL MAKE IT. CRONK JUST AS DOGGED IN DEFENCE, MAKING EIGHT TACKLES TO DEFY NOT ONLY THE ODDS, BUT MODERN MEDICINE. EVEN AT 30%, WE WANT HIM ON THE FIELD. I THINK IT WILL COME OUT A BIT LATER, BUT HE ACTUALLY BROKE HIS SCAPULA, SO, YEAH, THAT'S A BIG PERFORMANCE BY COOPS. THE VETERAN'S SELFLESS COMMITMENT INSPIRING HIS TEAMMATES TO GLORY. HAD FOUR LOTS OF DIFFERENT INJECTIONS DURING THE WEEK, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN A GUY AS MENTALLY STRONG AS COOPER CRONK. YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST LEGEND STATUS IN OUR GAME. BUT FOR SYDNEY'S HERO, IT WAS ALL JUST ANOTHER DAY IN THE OFFICE. THERE'S A LOT OF SUBPLOTS TO THE GAME, BUT THE SILVER LINING OF THE GAME WAS THE INJURY, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BECAUSE I TRULY JUST FOCUSED ON ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER, ONE DAY AT A TIME, AND, YOU KNOW, THE OPPOSITION AND THE EMOTION AND EVERYTHING AROUND IT DIDN'T PLAY A PART. CLEARLY, THERE WAS NO LOVED LOST BETWEEN FORMER TEAMMATES OR THE TWO RIVALS. A COUPLE OF THESE PLAYERS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR CHEAP VICTORIES. GETS UP AND, BANG, KICKS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. CRONK MAKING SURE HIS PERFORMANCE WOULD BE THE ONLY COMEBACK OF THE NIGHT. AND HERE'S A QUICK BALL FOR JOSEPH MANU. JOSEPH MANU CAPPED A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE FROM SYDNEY'S KIWI CONTINGENT. THE RESULT ALSO MARKED THE END OF AN ERA FOR BILLY SLATER, THE FULLBACK FAREWELLED FROM THE GAME WITH BOOS. WE JUST COULDN'T PULL THEM BACK IN. WE TRIED OUR BEST, BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES SOMETIMES, AND I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE CAREER THAT I'VE HAD. WHILE CRONK ONLY ENHANCED HIS LEGACY, CARRYING THE ROOSTERS BACK TO THE TOP SINGLEHANDEDLY. VICTOR WALTERS, 1 NEWS.
