Alex Todd: League player of the decade 

• By Will Evans 

LINWOOD KEAS and 

Canterbury Bulls stalwart 

Alex Todd’s naming as the 

Canterbury Rugby League 

player of the decade is a 

reminder there will always 

be a place for hard-working, 

consistent, tough grafters in the 

code. 

Following in the footsteps 

of Jonny Limmer, the 

CRL’s player of the 2000-10 

decade, the prop was judged 

Canterbury’s standout player of 

the 2010s by a panel comprising 

the Bulls’ coaches over that 

time frame – Brent Stuart, 

Mike Dorreen, Darrell Coad 

and Andrew Auimatagi. 

The judges voted for their 

three top players of the decade 

on a 3-2-1 basis – Todd was the 

resounding winner with 10 of a 

possible 12 votes. 

Hornby duo James 

Baxendale and Corey 

Lawrie, Celebration great Kyle 

Leka, Riccarton icon Shane 

Tamatea and Linwood veteran 

Erwin Sauni also received 

votes. 

“It means bloody heaps,” 

said Todd. 

“Considering the players 

I’ve played alongside, to be 

receiving this award is pretty 

unbelievable.” 

Todd grew up in Redcliffs 

and developed through 

Linwood’s junior ranks.

Orphanage life shapes ‘caring’ volunteer 

• By Bea Gooding 

EVEN THOUGH Lesley O’Neill 

grew up without her parents, she 

never once felt like she had no 

family to turn to. 

With an absent father, and 

after her mother died of an 

illness, life changed forever 

at three-years-old when the 

Nazareth House orphanage 

in Sydenham became her new 

home. But for the North Beach 

resident, having the sisters and 

other children by her side for the 

next 14 years felt like growing up 

in a big family. 

“It was a home and there 

were a lot of other people. Like 

any upbringing, there’s always 

positives and negatives – but the 

positives totally outweighed the 

negatives,” she said. 

“I guess what happened was I 

had an experience that a lot of 

people have never had. 

“The skills that I have now are 

part of the nurturing I received 

as a child.” 

She learned the value of hard 

work from a young age. 

Some of the jobs she had 

growing at the orphanage included 

answering the phone or 

opening the door to visitors. 

But one of the biggest lessons 

she took away was the determination 

the sisters showed when 

HIKING BOOTS 

& SHOES 

For men, women 

and children 

From 

$79.95 

to $250 

it came to keeping the children 

healthy. 

“The sisters used to go out 

into the community, begging for 

money and food to keep us all 

alive. They would come home, 

they were exhausted; their shoes 

all worn out,” said O’Neill. 

“That taught me about caring 

for other people.” 

These days, O’Neill volunteers 

at the Christchurch South Fruit 

and Vegetable Collective, helping 

set up the hall and bags in 

time for the delivery trucks. 

oN sAle Now! 

Her tenacity in the role over 

the last six years was why she 

was nominated for a Spreydon-

Award.

get their “5+ A Day.” 

“I’m not looking for a reward 

for my work, it’s about what I 

can do to support others. Fruit 

and vegetables are the food that 

keeps people alive,” she said. 

Richard Clemance was 

also recognised this year for 

volunteering at the collective for 

the past six years, supervising 

the packing process, and helping 

set up and pack down the 

premises.

Skipper has been receiving 

positive feedback on the pools. 

“An overall online review rating 

of 4.9 out of 5 – making us the 

highest-rated hot pools in New 

Zealand – is a great reflection our 

popularity. 

“Sessions are extremely 

popular, particularly at the 

weekends and in the evenings. 

We recommend online bookings 

to secure a spot. 

She said the number of people 

for each session is still limited so 

the pools are not overcrowded. 

The complex is open from 

10am to 7.30pm every day. There 

are five pools, ranging from 28-39 

deg C, plus an on-site cafe and 

sauna.

Success credited to simple league principles 

• From page 1 

After dabbling in rugby union 

with Sumner, he returned to the 

Keas as a teenager and made his 

senior debut as the club took out 

the 2007 premier reserves title. 

A year later he helped the Keas 

lift the Pat Smith Trophy by beating 

Papanui in the grand final 

and in 2009 he made his debut 

as a 19-year-old in the Stuartcoached 

Bartercard Premiershipwinning 

side. 

Todd briefly returned to the 

15-a-side game with Sumner in 

2014, but he was back on Linwood’s 

roster the following 

season and immediately regained 

his representative spot. 

“I definitely missed the league 

environment, but going to rugby 

was something I wanted to do – 

go back to my junior club where I 

played rugby as a kid, give it a go 

and see what it was about,” Todd 

said. 

The durable Todd has been at 

the forefront during the Keas’ 

run of five straight CRL grand 

final triumphs from 2016-20. 

Incredibly, he has won the Mel 

Cooke Trophy as the standout 

player in the decider an unprecedented 

three times – in 2017-18 

and again this season. 

He has also been a fixture for 

his province over the past six 

seasons, again captaining an 

experienced Bulls squad in the 

NZRL National Premiership 

campaign. 

The 31-year-old credits his 

individual success to some simple 

rugby league principles. 

“My fitness, and just turning 

up and helping my mate out on 

the field. I’m not the flashest of 

players, but I try and get in and 

do my job,” he said. 

“A lot of it’s to do with our 

culture at Linwood as well. You 

always want to be there for your 

mate and not let them down.” 

A regular skipper for Linwood 

and Canterbury, the battle-hardened 

Todd has slipped seamlessly 

into a leadership role in recent 

seasons. 

“It’s something I’ve slowly 

moved into. I’d been at Linwood 

for a wee while and when Aga 

(Fiso) stepped away from the 

leadership group (he retired in 

2017) it was a natural progression 

to move into that role with Paul 

(Sauni). 

“I’m probably not the biggest 

talker but I do try to lead through 

my actions.” 

If there has been one constant 

HARD YARDS: 

Linwood 

Keas and 

Canterbury 

Bulls veteran 

Alex Todd has 

been named 

Canterbury 

Rugby League 

player of 

the 2010-20 

decade. 

in Todd’s career, it’s the guidance 

of Auimatagi. 

He was Todd’s first premier 

reserves coach, while the pair 

played together in the Keas’ 2008 

grand final win and the Bulls’ 

successful Bartercard Premiership 

campaign a year later. 

Auimatagi and Todd then 

teamed up as coach and frontrow 

anchor in five straight grand 

finals (2015-19) for four wins, and 

in every Bulls campaign since 

2016. 

“Andrew’s had a huge influence 

on my career,” Todd said. 

“When I started playing premier 

Bs in 2007 he was my coach, 

and I came through and played 

alongside him at club and rep 

level, now he’s coached me for a 

long time. But he’s a really good 

bloke and really knows the game. 

“Another guy is (former 

teammate and current Keas 

coach) Aga, he’s a pretty amazing 

leader and someone I’ve always 

looked up to,” he said, adding he 

was in no rush to hang up the 

boots. 

“As long as the body keeps 

holding up alright I’ll keep playing 

for as long as I can. You’re a 

long time retired.” 

The 150-game milestone for 

the Keas is the next achievement 

on Todd’s horizon in 2021 after 

he brought up three figures in 

2017. 

CRL chief executive Duane 

Fyfe praised Todd’s contribution 

when the award was presented. 

“‘Toddy is a great ambassador 

when representing his club and 

province, and has a reputation 

for doing his talking on the field 

with his direct style of play. 

“This is an outstanding 

accolade based on his 

commitment, perseverance and 

achievement over the previous 

decade.”

rOwing squads 2020/21 

As a sport, rowing provides those who compete a unique opportunity to 

engage in a discipline unparalleled by most. Perseverance, resilience and 

a rich culture of community are but a few of the many benefits offered to 

those involved in the sport. 

PrOudly sPOnsOred By... 

At St Thomas of Canterbury College, the students 

are encouraged to involve themselves in the 

rowing programme, which provides similar 

notions of dedication and determination, built 

upon the foundation of brotherhood, which 

is informed by the special character of the 

College. Our young men are inspired by both the 

collective history of the sport as well as a shared 

sense of commitment to each other. Rowing 

at school-age level promotes effective time 

management skills and has a notable effect on 

academic achievement, as students become more 

productive with their time. Most of the students 

cite these benefits themselves as the reason 

for their continuing service the sport, while also 

noting a real sense of personal growth achieved 

as a result. 

This season the College boasts its biggest squad 

in its 15-year history, with 32 boys committing 

themselves to the programme. Although small 

in comparison to other programmes, St Thomas 

Rowing makes up for it in its approach to inclusive 

practice and preservation of culture, so as to 

insure a richer experience. The programme 

continues to benefit from the Old Boys’ Network, 

with a large contingent of former St Thomas 

rowers making up the coaching team, while the 

Selwyn River remains the Squad’s base. The boys 

continue to compete at regattas on Lake Hood 

(Ashburton) and Lake Ruataniwha (Twizel) with 

high expectations set for the year ahead. The 

squad is looking forward to getting a full season 

of racing under their belts with the hope of it 

culminating at the Maadi Cup at Karapiro in the 

new year.

about gardening and the environment with hands-on 

activities and games. The school’s main hall was a hive 

of activity as judges deliberated over cakes and baking, 

flower and dried flower artworks, pet photo and video 

entries. Challenges included garden ornaments and 

art categories, make your own scarecrow and recycled 

bottles greenhouse designs.

On course for 30 years as golf buddies 

• By Matt Slaughter 

SYLVIA WILSON and her 

nine friends celebrated their 

combined age of 872 years and 

about 30 years of friendship 

last week. 

Sylvia, who is 80, said they 

met about 30 years ago at 

Waimairi Beach Golf Club, 

where they used to play golf. 

She, Ruth Lawson, Moira 

Curtin, Shirley Smith, Neroli 

Paterson, Margaret Underhay, 

Leoni Bolton, Margaret 

Paterson and Jean Norton 

have been friends ever since. 

On Friday, the friends, who 

all live in the eastern suburbs, 

celebrated their friendship and 

combined age with a cake at 

the golf club. 

Joan Moore has also been a 

part of the group but could not 

attend the celebration, Sylvia 

said. 

In spite of none of them 

playing golf anymore, four of 

them including Sylvia still play 

indoor bowls at North New 

Brighton Indoor Bowls Club. 

She said they meet a couple 

of times a year at the golf club 

to catch up. 

“It’s just something that 

we’ve done, basically, since we 

gave it [golf] up. We still keep 

in touch and four of us still 

play indoor bowls,” Sylvia said. 

Sylvia said the group played

golf for a total of 242 years 

between them before retiring 

from the sport. 

She said she wasn’t much of 

a golfer but enjoyed her playing 

days. 

Sylvia said another special 

thing about the friend group is 

they all still live independently. 

“Everyone is still living by 

themselves, seven of them are 

still driving and one of them 

has just given up, one of the 

92-year-olds, and she’s got 

a wee motorised [mobility] 

scooter.” 

She said “keeping in 

touch with people and just 

taking an interest in things” 

has been part of her secret 

to staying healthy for all of 

these years. 

Sylvia said all of the friends 

come from different backgrounds 

making them great 

company. 

“They’re just an interesting 

lot and, you know, old friends 

are good friends, they really 

are. 

“It’s just lovely that there 

are people there that you can 

relate to,” she said.
