Crusaders coach blackadder signs on for next season Blackadder has returned to training with the Crusaders under new club coach Stephen Larkham on Tuesday, according to club president Peter Fitzgibbon, who has been informed. "The training sessions have started," Fitzgibbon said on Tuesday. "He should be all set for the start of the season." Blackadder is on loan to the South Sydney Rabbitohs from the Dragons. He is set to face the NRL club in the Sydney Roosters clash on Sunday, June 24. Backs fullback Jake Stringer is expected to start at hooker while wingers Kyle Lovett, Nick Phipps and Ryan Hore are expected to be involved in the halves. Bulldogs hooker Tom Symonds and loose prop Tim Mannah are also expected to feature in the halves. The next match is the Crusaders' round 17 match against the Warriors on Saturday, November 16. "It has been a couple of weeks since we are talking about players and clubs," Fitzgibbon said. "Obviously we are disappointed to lose someone of Chris' stature, his contribution to the club. "He was a very good captain and an amazing coach and a massive impact for our club. "This is a difficult decision to take, we are talking about a significant loss in a short space of time. "I know Stephen Larkham has done a great job since taking charge in July. He is a great coach and person with great knowledge of the game of footy. "It's a difficult one at this juncture. "We are talking about players, coaches and the club at the moment. The coaching staff are looking forward to working with Stephen Larkham in the coming weeks."

Us battered by snowstorms in their home provinces, the country's economy is shrinking. The government has launched a wide-ranging budget and fiscal stimulus programme, but there is also a real risk that the economy's momentum will reverse in coming months. Some analysts say that the country has been caught between two realities: a weak economy is holding up the global recovery, and China's economy is slowing. Many economists fear that, should the economy reverse, China will be forced to abandon its export base of coal and other low-cost materials, which will in turn lead to a further deterioration of trade relations with Asian countries. But Beijing is also concerned about the impact of global growth. Its goal is to maintain the high rate of growth that began in the mid-1990s, with a goal of a 3.5% to 3.75% increase in GDP next year. Although it has never publicly announced its target, some analysts believe it is close to that. For a country which claims to be a world leader in promoting social development, China's economy is showing signs of strain and could eventually become stagnant, according to Mr Chen, who is the chief executive of the Beijing-based Institute of Pacific Studies. "The biggest challenge is not global growth, but global trade patterns," he says. Even though China has promised economic growth of 8% a year in the past five years, growth of 1% has been more popular among policymakers in recent years. On January 1, the country unveiled a plan to raise the retirement age to 70 from 60 from next year. Mr Chen reckons this means that the retirement age will rise to 75 for those who start working at 40, and then to 70 by 2025. The central bank is also encouraging younger workers, including those with good educations and high-earners, to start working and earn more. Some of those who are now working will then be entitled to the state pension. But many economists and businesspeople fear the plans have run into opposition. "My concern is that they will be more like what the U.S. did after the 'Great Recession' in 2007-8, which also involved raising the retirement age," says Mr Chen, who heads China's Center for the Study of Globalization. To make the plan work, China has to cut down on foreign investment, because foreigners are worried about the possibility that it will cut down on Chinese exports. But China also faces a risk that it will simply not have enough domestic savings to pay down its national debt and stimulate growth by adding to its domestic debt.
