The Storm<\/a> have poached one of the game's most promising young administrators from the Sharks<\/a> – Phil Gould<\/a>'s son.<\/p>\n

Jack Gould, named Cronulla's Club Person of the Year in October, has been given the key role of overseeing the Storm's transition into an NRLW powerhouse.<\/p>\n

The Victorian club has yet to play in the NRLW<\/a>, and Gould has the huge task of developing the Storm's women's program.<\/p>\n

Gould has done a great job developing the Sharks' women's program in recent years – and has carved out a fine reputation away from his illustrious dad at Canterbury.<\/p>\n

He will start the job in Melbourne by overseeing the club's first-ever female teams in the junior Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale Cups this season.<\/p>\n

Once they are established, the Storm will push full steam for an NRLW license, with Gould at the forefront.<\/p>\n

Gould had five years at the Sharks as Female Pathways Coordinator and was instrumental in the club's successful entry into the NRLW in 2023.<\/p>\n

"I'm really excited to be joining Storm and helping shape the development of our female pathways from the ground up," Gould said after his appointment.<\/p>\n

Dragons official red-faced after mocking 'reserve grade' side<\/h3>\n

There's one very red-faced official at the Dragons<\/a> in the wake of Saturday night's shock loss to a third-string Souths outfit in the Charity Shield<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the lead-up to the game, the official complained to a mate at Souths that the Rabbitohs<\/a> were making a mockery of the game by resting their entire top squad and playing a 'bits and pieces' team in what is always the biggest trial of the pre-season.<\/p>\n

It's history that the unheralded Bunnies scored a shock win over the full-strength Dragons – and the official has had very little to say since.<\/p>\n

Bears keep heat on Leeds star<\/h3>\n

Polish-born England Test prop Mikolaj Oledzki has denied speculation that he is on the radar of Perth<\/a> – but I'm hearing that has only increased the Bears' interest in the Leeds star.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Oledzki told English reporters, "I'll pour a bit of cold water over it because I'm happy at Leeds and excited for the season ahead".<\/p>\n

But with the Bears struggling to sign established NRL players for their maiden season, they are looking at Super League – and Oledzki is still high on their list.<\/p>\n

Oledzki is contracted to Leeds until the end of 2028 – but as we have seen time and again, contracts aren't worth the paper they are written on in the NRL.<\/p>\n

Roosters sign teen duo on long-term deals<\/h3>\n

The Roosters<\/a> continue to build their depth, signing two boom 17-year-olds from the Central Coast.<\/p>\n

Halfback Cooper Wrankmore and goal-kicking centre Ethan Lee have both agreed to three-year deals with the Roosters.<\/p>\n

The pair are members of the Central Coast Sports College and are in the Sydney Roosters Academy on the coast.<\/p>\n

Both have speed to burn and have also represented NSW in touch football and Oztag with distinction at junior level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
