The Maroons also almost certainly ended the representative careers of several senior Blues players. While their first win at the stadium in 12 outings was by just a 10-6 scoreline, the Maroons dominated the game through their unyielding defence in a performance skipper Darren Lockyer described as "the gutsiest I’ve been involved with".

Newcastle Jets have confirmed A-League player-of-the-year Nick Carle has signed with Turkey’s Genclerbirligi for three years.
Jets chief executive George Liolio said the deal was finalised after speculation last week that Carle would join Turkish champions Fenerbahce.
Liolio said there had been interest in Carle from a number of Turkish clubs.
"This outcome was the one that the player preferred as well as being in the best interests of the Jets," he said.
"The transfer fee is in the vicinity of $650,000 dollars to the club with on-sells attached.
"Nick has been a wonderful player for the Jets and a favourite with the fans, and he’ll be missed, but it wasn’t in his or our interest to hold him back."
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder last week earned a call-up to Australia’s squad for next month’s Asian Cup.

Whether it’s Brad Pitt in a hot tub or Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, women dream about sex as often as men do, according to a new study.
In new research released Thursday, 109 women and 64 men recorded their dreams in a daily sleep log for two to four weeks. They submitted these accounts of their dreams, more than 3,500 in all, to researchers at the University of Montreal.
The dream logs were then scored on various scales according to the type of sexual activity, the setting and the characters involved.
Men’s sex dreams were twice as likely to involve trysts with multiple partners, and were more likely to take place in public.

The New South Wales captain will achieve the milestone at his home ground, becoming just the 5th player in the club’s 20 year history to play 200 First Grade games.
“200 games is an important achievement for me but as a local junior it means so much more to have played them for the Knights,” Buderus said.

Stranded coal ships, severe flooding and looting in the Hunter valley…
According to BRW’s June edition, export opportunities for Hunter based businesses to Asia have never looked brighter.
Hunter exporters traditional have not looked to India as a destination, but India looks like its going to knock off the US as Australia’s fourth largest non-service export market. Also, Korea moved in to third spot only ahead of the US only a few months ago.

INDUSTRY will receive $1.4 billion in next week’s federal budget to boost research and development and assist small and medium businesses to increase their exports.
The Industry Statement will provide funds over 10 years and aims to help Australian companies take advantage of the growing global marketplace.
The statement will be important to the electoral prospects of the Coalition, which is battling constant Labor claims that it has grown tired and has run out of ideas.

Shopkeepers in the Newcastle suburb of Wallsend have been some of the hardest hit by Friday’s flash flooding.
More than 30 shops in the CBD have been damaged, including Wallsend Plaza – which is closed to the public – and businesses on Nelson Street.
1233 Field Reporter Jenny Bates has been to Wallsend today and met with some devastated business-owners, including David Earle. "We’ve had about four foot of water run through the shop,"
Mr Earle said. "It came through our back roller door. We’ve got embroidery machines out the back that weigh about a tonne-and-a-half, and the water has knocked them over."

Maritime experts have carried out an underwater study at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, north of Sydney, on Thursday afternoon near the grounded ship, Pasha Bulker.
The hydrographic survey will give the salvage team more insight into the chances of refloating the 40,000 tonne bulker.
But Newcastle Port Corporation chief executive officer Gary Webb quashed rumours the bulk carrier could be salvaged early next week.
"The next stage of the hydrographics survey, being a survey that maps the bottom of the ocean through the surf zone, was being undertaken this afternoon using a surf ski single beam echo sounder and GPS," he said.
"That information become a part of the data set that will be used to continue to refine the salvage plan that’s been developed by the salvage team."

THE salvage operation to refloat the coal carrier Pasha Bulker off Nobbys Beach in Newcastle is to be aided by a specialised anchor-handling vessel.
The Pacific Salvor should be able to winch the bulk carrier seawards using 15-tonne anchors and cabling, with the help of two salvage tugs.
