Source: www.raiders.com.auWhilst the Canberra Raiders captaincy is yet to be officially decided on for 2012, the leadership ability of the Club's Player Representatives (CPR) is being enhanced on a weekly basis.
The CPR has been a part of renowned psychologist Sam Patterson's leadership program. The program was one of the recommendations from the High Performance Review and its implementation has been received particularly well by the CPR.
It works on developing the individuals both on and off the field. Patterson has been employing his program with Olympic athletes and several successful businesses. The process is also used in the US with sports such as Major League Baseball and the NFL.
Canberra's CPR comprises of Terry Campese, David Shillington, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Bronson Harrison, Brett White and Dane Tilse.
"What we're focusing on is improving on and off field leadership," Patterson explained.
"Some of what that involves is making sure everyone has a streamlined focus from the first minute they walk into the club on a Monday morning. We're not talking about any major behavioural change, it's more a case of tidying up the areas we need to improve on and focusing on those areas that will translate into a performance increase and bring us the biggest reward."
"Our number one focus is to get them to perform at 100% out on the field. We're putting measures in place to ensure they're having as much impact as possible as leaders while reducing the amount of effort and energy that they had to put in to perform that leadership function compared to last year. They probably put too much energy into managing the off field side of the leadership role last year so it's about making their roles easier so they can enjoy the role."
"What I'm doing in conjunction with Dave [Furner] is to help bring belief and a winning culture back into the side and adjusting those certain areas that improve performance and create growth and continuing with that growth over time. We're providing the CPR, coaching staff and players with an accountability to their performance."
"The testing and the follow up coaching from that help the athlete and the coaching staff to break down any behavioural constraints that play out on and off the field so that those guys can then capitalise on their strengths and improve their individual and team performance."
Patterson has been blown away by the CPR's leadership potential.
"What struck me when I first met with the CPR was how little ego there was and how humble they were. On one side that's great because it means there's a lot of humility, but on the other side those players in particular have earned the right to have a real presence around the club and I want to help them to bring that out and really develop that presence."
"The CPR is made up of a core group of players who've been put into that role for a reason so we're helping them to evolve and grow as leaders and helping them to better understand how they can help their team mates by influencing them in a positive nature."
The program is centred on the CPR but is also available to the other players and to the coaching staff.
"From the perspective of the players they've been really open to the program. I've been really impressed by their eagerness to improve themselves as athletes and as people."
"That's what also struck me from the outset; they all really want to grow as leaders and be in that role. The guys who I've met outside the leadership group really want to improve and challenge themselves to step up to another level."
Coach David Furner has also been impressed by the impact the program has had on the playing group.
"It's another area of development for our leadership group not only on the field but off it. From what I'm seeing the players are responding to Sam's program. It's about performing and resolving the factors that are restricting the players to perform at their best."
"It's crucial to our success. A strong leadership group is a massive influence in any sporting team and a lot of culture within a club is driven by them."
"I'm very proud of our leadership group. We all went through a season last year where leadership needed to be strong. This is program is going to be one that they'll learn from and expand their leadership abilities."

Source: www.raiders.com.auRaiders flyer Blake Ferguson picked up two tries and was a standout performer, in the PM XIII's 36-22 win over Papua New Guinea at Lae Stadium.
David Shillington did his Four Nation's chances no harm with a solid effort, terrorising the PNG defence with some trademark forward surges.
The Australian Prime Minister's XIII overcame a pre-match bus prang and a spirited Papua New Guinea outfit to win their annual clash, in a match dominated by big hits on field and gunfire outside the Lae stadium.
The Australians, captained by Parramatta veteran Nathan Hindmarsh, led 12-0 at the break before going on with the job in the second half.
The tone was set early when the home side responded to an early try to Canterbury NRL flyer Josh Morris by zeroing in with a series of huge hits in defence.
The Kumuls maintained the intensity in front of an estimated crowd of 15,000 packed into Lae's 2000-seat oval.
Canberra's Blake Ferguson also scored for Australia but, with a halftime lead of just 12-0, the Kumuls weren't without hope.
However, Australia kicked away shortly after the break.
Ferguson bagged a double and, undeterred by sounds of gunfire outside the stadium as police battled to control some 7000 people who had missed out on a ticket, Parramatta's Luke Burt scored and converted his own try.
A runaway effort by South Sydney flyer Nathan Merritt and a conversion by fan favourite and captain Nathan Hindmarsh put Australia comfortably ahead 30-0, before the locals started to rally.
Australian players are idolised in PNG, the only country in the world with rugby league as the national sport.
But sensing the growing disapproval and agitation in the bleachers at the lopsided scoreline, the Kumuls' attack hit back with three quick-fire tries, the first scored after 50 minutes by Dion Aiye.
With each roar of approval from the stands, rocks were thrown over the fence and onto the field by the angry fans outside.
This was answered by a rapid series of gunshots.
Morris kept his cool, completing a double and scoring Australia's final try, which was converted by another unlikely candidate in Souths' captain Michael Crocker.
Papua New Guinea finished on a high however, when Joshaia Abavu made a last-second dash from halfway to score the Kumuls' fourth try and send the crowd into a frenzy.
While the hits were hard on the field there was also a big hit prior to the game when the Australian team was involved in a minor accident on the way to the game.
Thankfully no players or officials were injured in the prang.
The incident occurred with an alleged drunk driver, who was arrested by police.
"There's always big hits when we're in Papua New Guinea playing against the Kumuls, but we knew that coming into the game," Hindmarsh said.
"They're known as big hitters. Our front row and our forwards handled that very well."
