Thunder revert to
Part-time status
in 2023
Newcastle Thunder will revert to a parttime
status from 2023.
The club has spent the 2022 season as a full
time environment as it looked to build
on preserving its Betfred Championship
status.
Following a thorough review of operations
at Kingston Park Stadium,the decision has
been made to return to running a part-time
model from next season.
Club chair Keith Christie said:
“2022 has been a disappointing season with
significant investment made into the club
not translating into results on the pitch.
“We will engage with our players and
staff regarding the way forward and will
communicate all updates in due course.”
After a superb day on Friday, Super
League’s Magic Weekend went on to
enjoy a similarly successful instalment
as six thrilling games from the top
-flight were played out at St James’
Park.
One of the best-ever si https://

Newcastle Thunder’s residential
summer camp returned to Barnard

Thunder Community delivered five
days of rugby league fun.
Open to players at U13/14 and U15/16 age groups,
the camp held at the famous County Durham

the youngsters attending.
Combining with participants of the Newcastle
Falcons residential camp, over 175 kids enjoyed
the experience.
As well as learning from coaches from the
Thunder Community team, the aspiring players
also enjoyed a visit from Thunder first team
players Alex Donaghy and Isaac Nokes.
Products of the club’s academy system, the duo
passed on plenty of coaching tips to the boys who
may one day become the next home-grown
Thunder stars.
It was a successful week with plans already
coming together for an even better experience
in 2023!

MOODY CUP 2022
2022’s Moody Cup was a resounding
success at the last match day at
Kingston Park Stadium, as more than
650 junior players enjoyed a morning
and early afternoon of games at the
home of Newcastle Thunder.
After completing their games, all
participants were able to take their
place in the crowd to watch Newcastle
Thunder do battle with league leaders
Leigh Centurions in round 22 of the
Betfred Championship.
Moody Logistics & Storage
Long-term supporters of Newcastle
Thunder’s biggest grassroots festival
of the year, Moody Logistics and
Storage is currently marking its 75th
anniversary having been founded in
1947 by David Moody on returning home
after serving in the Second World War.
He bought a household coal round and
began collecting sea coal from the
Northumberland coast, also delivering
to local businesses before branching
out into transporting bricks.
By 1953 he was operating five trucks,
which included Bedford’s like Peggy – a
restored vintage truck named after the
Chairman Alan’s mother, that frequents
local truck shows and museums during
the spring and summer.
Today, Moody’s remains a family-owned
business lead by the third generation
with Managing Director Caroline
Moody working alongside her brother
Richard Moody,
Operations Director, and brotherin-law
Gavin Cape who runs sister
company Heathline Commercials Ltd,
a truck service and maintenance
workshop that looks after the Moody
fleet as well as servicing customers
throughout the north east.
Moody Logistics and Storage
specialises in overnight pallet
distribution for customers, while also
offering storage and warehousing
solutions, and dedicated haulage
services across the UK.
Shareholder members of the Pall-Ex
network, the firm currently holds FORS
Bronze accreditation, operating a fleet
of 30 trucks from a seven-acre site in
Bolam Business Park, Cramlington.
The fleet comprises vehicles from
3.5T and 7.5T to 18T and 44T, including
standard curtain-sided vehicles ,
double deck curtain-sided trailers
and skeletal trailers for the movement
of containers.
The seventh instalment of the biggest
grassroots rugby league festival held
in the north east once again welcomed
clubs from the region and the wider
rugby league heartlands ahead of the
Betfred Championship clash with Leigh
Centurions.
Starting from 11am, games took over
the whole of Kingston Park, with teams
from U6 to U14s levels playing across
the main, North and West pitches with
each team enjoying three matches each
in the group stages.
It contributed to a superb crowd of
2,127, the second highest of the season
showing the best ofgrassroots rugby
league and its key role in growing
Newcastle Thunder into the future.

Ball Steal
Not 10
Rugby League is played by two teams of 13
players, playing on a pitch that is 100m
long.
Games are played in two 40-minute halves,
with the team with the highest score after
the combined 80 minutes winning the game.
You may run forwards with the ball, and you
may kick the ball forwards, but as in rugby
union, you can only pass the ball backwards
or sideways.
If you pass the ball forwards or knock the
ball on (that is deflect the ball towards the
opposition, try line by contact with the
body or arms) possession is handed over to
the opposing side.
In rugby league, teams are allowed up to six
tackles to score. Once a player is tackled,
the tackler must let go of the ball carrier
and his teammates must retreat 10 meters.
The ball carrier is allowed to stand up and
then play the ball back to a team mate to
start the process again.
If a team is tackled a sixth time, possession
of the ball is handed over to the defending
team who gain possession of the ball from
the spot of the tackle.
Try – Worth four points a try is scored when
downward pressure is applied to the ball on
the ground in the opponents in-goal area.
The ball can either be ran into the in-goal
area or kicked through and touched down.
Conversion – After scoring a try teams
can add additional points by successfully
kicking a goal called a conversion. Taken
from a spot 20 meters from the goal line
and perpendicular from where the try was
scored. Kicking the ball over the crossbar
and between the posts scores two points.
Penalty – If the opposition commits a foul,
teams can opt to attempt to score a goal
by kicking the ball between the posts and
over the crossbar from the spot where the
infringement took place, this also scores
two points.
Drop Goal – A drop goal can be scored by
kicking the ball through the posts and any
point in open play. To score these, the ball
must be dropped onto the ground before
being kicked. Worth just one point, a drop
goal is rarely seen, but in close games it
can be the difference between victory and
defeat.
In summary, if you can count to six, you are
going to enjoy a game of rugby league.
When two or more people are involved in
a tackle, a ball steal occurs when a player
from the defending team takes the ball off
the attacking player who has been tackled.
Dissent
If a player disputes decisions taken by the
referee or verbally abuses the officials
then a penalty for dissent may be awarded.
Double Movement
If the ball carrier is tackled and held before
the try line and then lifts their arm
to reach out and place the ball over the try
line, this is classed as a double movement
with a penalty awarded to the defending
team
High Tackle
If a defending player contacts the head of
the attacking player carrying the ball, a
penalty for a high tackle will be awarded.
Late Tackle
If the attacking player passes the ball to a
team-mate and the defender has had time
to pull out of his attempted tackle but carries
through, he has committed a late tackle
and will be penalised.
When a player doesn’t retreat behind the
next 10m line or goes too early when defending
the next tackle of a set, a penalty
will be awarded. This can also be awarded
as an offside penalty.
Obstruction
When an attacker prevents a defender from
getting to the ball carrier to effect a tackle
by getting in between the two players, a
penalty is awarded for obstruction
Offside
As well as an infringement around being
10m from the play the ball, offsides can also
be awarded in instances where players are
in front of a kicker.
Tackle in the air
If a player has jumped to take the ball in the
air and the defending player makes no attempt
to play at the ball, but instead goes
straight for the player or makes a tackle
before the gathering player returns to the
ground, a penalty will be awarded
For a host of other offences, referees will
simply reset the tackle count bay awarding
a “Six Again”
This is signaled by the referee waving a
clenched fist above his head from left to
right.
To make it more difficult for the other team
to score, the attacking team will usually
kick the ball away on the fifth tackle to
increase the distance between the opposition
and the try line.
A team will run with the ball, get tackled,
play the ball backwards and repeat this
process up to six times in the attempt to
score up to six points at a time, before the
other team will have a go.
The object of the game is to score more
points than the opposing team with several
ways to do this during a match.

OPPOSITION
PLAYERS TO WATCH
BARROW RAIDERS
TEE RITSON
A familiar face to some, Tee Ritson returns to face his former side
Thunder in this Saturday’s clash against Barrow Raiders. Ritson
is having a stellar season so far for the Cumbrian side and will
definitely be on the radar of many of the Thunder lads.
The 26-year-old winger who hails from Thailand boasts an
impressive try scoring record for the 2022 campaign, where from
27 appearances he has returned 28 tries. This includes a brace last
time out, in their loss against title chasers Featherstone Rovers.
Alongside a year at Thunder in 2018, featuring 22 times for
the North East outfit, Ritson has also enjoyed a stint at fellow
Cumbrians and Championship side Workington Town, where across
four seasons from 2014 to 2017, he made 39 appearances. Ritson
signed for the Raiders in 2019 and has been there since.
Barrow Raiders are today’s opponent as Betfred
Championship action returns to the North East
over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
A 3pm kick-off on Saturday, August 27, it is the
first meeting between the two sides at the
ground since 2017.
The Raiders have enjoyed a successful campaign
this year where they currently sit fifth in the
Betfred Championship, and firmly entrenched
in the battle for third with Halifax Panthers,
Batley Bulldogs and York City Knights.
They have already guaranteed their place in the
end-of-season play-offs with a comfortable
30-12 win over Batley Bulldogs the other week.
Founded in 1875, Barrow have been operating
for a mere 147 years and play their home games
out of Craven Park.
Originally formed as Barrow Football Club,
they re-branded as Barrow Raiders as late as
2002 after stints under the names of Barrow
Braves and Barrow Border Raiders. They were
promoted back to the Second Division in 2021
and have seen a very successful return to the
Betfred Championship.
The club have a decorated history where they
have secured several honours including a
Challenge Cup title back in the 1954/55 season.
They have three Second Division titles under
their belt from the 1975, 1983 and 2009 seasons
as well as two League One titles in 2004 and as
previously mentioned as early as 2021. The club
also secured the League One cup in 2017.
The Raiders are currently led by former player
Paul Crarey. The 56-year-old played over 170
games for Barrow at hooker before taking the
reigns as coach in 2005.
Crarey is in his second stint at the Raiders, with
a season at Whitehaven for the 2007 campaign in
between. Crarey rejoined Barrow in 2014 and has
headed the club since.
Barrow have 14 wins to their name so far this
season alongside eight losses and one draw. This
sees them sitting at fifth in the table.
They also enjoyed a rather successful Challenge
Cup run, reaching the Round of 16 where they put
in a gallant display against Huddersfield Giants.
Thunder have faced Barrow twice already this
season. Both times at Craven Park with one being
a pre-season friendly and the other a Betfred
Championship fixture.
On both occasions, Thunder fell short, with a preseason
friendly that ended 34-22 in Barrow’s
favour whereas the Betfred Championship fixture
was a much more closer affair with Thunder
narrowly losing 14-6 in appalling conditions.
Barrow will be full of confidence heading into
the fixture at Kingston Park, knowing they have
secured their play-off place already and with
Thunder looking to take a morale-boosting win,
we can expect a fiery affair with plenty of good
rugby league on show.
JARROD SAMMUT
Jarrod Sammut is another Raider who will be one to watch in
our latest Betfred Championship clash. The utility back, who
can feature at scrumhalf, standoff, fullback and hooker has
enjoyed an impressive first season at the Cumbrian side where
in 23 appearances he has returned 18 tries and scored over 160
points. This includes a try last time out in their loss against
Featherstone Rovers.
The 35-year-old has enjoyed a lengthy career that includes
stints in the NRL with Penrith Panthers, the Super League
with Crusaders RL, Bradford Bulls, Wakefield Trinity and Leigh
Centurions and the Betfred Championship with Workington
Town and London Broncos.
Sammut has also earned international honours being capped by
Malta Rugby League, where in 17 appearances he scored 11 tries.
Sammut also crossed-codes and earned national honours for
Malta in Rugby Union but the endeavour was short-lived being
capped only once.
ELLIS GILLAM
Featuring heavily in his first season at Barrow Raiders,
Ellis Gillam is another ‘one to watch’ for this Saturday’s
Betfred Championship clash at Kingston Park.
The second-row joined the Raiders ahead of the 2022
campaign, having previously played for Cumbrian rivals
Whitehaven across four seasons between 2018 and 2021.
Gillam also enjoyed a short stint at League 1 side, Rochdale
Hornets for the best part of the 2019 campaign.
The 24-year-old has been a regular on the team sheet for
Barrow so far this season, where he has appeared in 28
games, crossing the white-wash four times.

While the season may be done for
himself, Johnson is backing his teammates
to keep pushing over the next
month as they aim to demonstrate
progress has been made over the
course of 2022.
“There are still five games left for the
lads who are still playing and involved

“We need to show there is a plan and

the fans to keep them interested for

MEET THE
LADS

Ukuma has gone through his return to play
in training, so we have gradually built up
his running load and taken him into full
training which has seen him go into live
contact and live skill.
We’ve been mindful of how much load
that we have been putting him through
and we’ve been using a brace to off-load
his knee a little bit when he hasn’t been
training just to give him a little bit more
time to settle and recover.
We’ve then been using the Physio Lab
equipment post-training to settle down
any swelling that might have been going
on in there.
He’s built up his training minutes and
we’re happy to have him included in the
squad for the game down in London.
