Last Sth Queensland Crusher hangs up boots
12:00a.m. 9th October 2008
By Jon Tuxworth
As a no-frills forward, recently-retired prop Danny Nutley was one of those rare types who relished doing the dirty work for his team.
So no one will blink an eyelid when they hear the name of his new Sunshine Coast business – Nationwide Cleaning Supplies.
The 34-year-old called time on his career after 12 seasons at the top level when Cronulla succumbed to Melbourne 28-0 in the preliminary final.
In the process, he became the last former South Queensland Crusher to call it quits.
And, despite being well known as a rugby league tragic, it seems you would get long odds about “Nutso” getting itchy feet and pulling the boots on again.
“I definitely won’t be playing again. I’m going to miss pre season training like a hole in the head,” he said.
“I’ve got no regrets. I was just lucky enough to play for as long as I did.
“I’m actually looking forward to what I’m going into. It’s something different and something for myself.”
However, while his playing days seem to be behind him, Nutley admitted he would like to remained involved in the game in some capacity.
And, with the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles set for their inaugural Queensland Cup campaign next year, Nutley said he would consider lending them a hand if approached.
“Yeah for sure. If I could do something to help I might think about it,” he said.
“At the Sharks I used to help the young forwards out; just getting them to talk to me if they’re having any problems.”
Nutley was handed a lifeline by the Sharks when he was cut adrift by the Roosters at the start of this year.
His experience was vital to Cronulla, whose forward stocks had been depleted by a season ending knee injury to Reece Williams and the retirement of Lance Thompson.
But Nutley believes the club, still yet to win a premiership, needs to be active in the player market in coming seasons.
“I think they just need two or three more quality players,” he said.
“Melbourne beat us in that last game because they’ve just got class everywhere – guys like Israel Folau, Greg Inglis and Billy Slater.”

Nuts bolts up the boots
Wednesday, 22 October 2008
Source: Lee Oliver
One of the Pine Rivers region’s finest rugby league products has laced up a football boot for the final time.
Danny Nutley, who grew up at Kallangur, attended Holy Spirit School at Bray Park and worked at his parent’s Dayboro bakery as a youngster, has closed the curtain on a decorated 12-year career spent on both sides of the globe.
The 34-year-old, nicknamed "Nuts", played the final match of his 273-game professional career in the Cronulla Sharks’ disappointing 28-0 defeat to Melbourne Storm in their NRL preliminary final last month.
A one-time State of Origin representative, the hard-hitting prop forward kicked off his football career two decades ago, when he "just wanted to play footy with my mates".
"I wanted to hang out more with my mates, and footy was a way to do it," said Nutley, who started playing for the Redcliffe Dolphins as a 14-year-old.
"We went and played on the weekends for a bit of fun."
After progressing through the ranks to play at Queensland Cup level for the Dolphins, Nutley, pictured, joined the now defunct national league club the South Queensland Crushers in 1997.
When the Crushers folded at the end of that season amid the aftermath of the sport’s debilitating "Super League war", Nutley linked with English Super League club Warrington, where he stayed for four years.
Splitting playing stints in the northern hemisphere with Warrington and Castleford with a four-year term at Cronulla, Nutley returned to Australia to link with the Sydney Roosters in 2007, before rejoining the Sharks part-way through this year.
"I enjoyed everything about living there (Cronulla) – the lifestyle, the players, the club were always good to me, so that’s why I reckon I played my best football there," Nutley said.
Nutley, who was voted into the illustrious Super League Dream Team in 2006 despite hating the "cold, miserable" lifestyle of the working class coalmining town of Castleford, attributed his football success to hard work.
"Mate, I had no skills at all – I just worked hard," said Nutley, who is glad to have have seen the last of two equally tough rivals on a football field.
"(New Zealand’s) Ruben Wiki you always kept one eye open and the other eye on him when you played him, and (Melbourne’s) Mick Crocker is always tough to play against."
Nutley says he leaves rugby league with no regrets, not even the fact his State of Origin debut for Queensland at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium in 2005 was his sole appearance in a maroon jersey.
"State of Origin is the biggest and best comp in the world and that was an amazing experience and I loved every minute of it," Nutley said.
"You can’t describe the noise when you run out (onto the field) – you couldn’t even hear yourself think. I’m just thrilled that I could play one game."
As well as surviving the Super League feud, the demise of the Crushers, freezing English weather and the rough and tumble nature of being a rugby league forward, Nutley prides himself on having remained intact on-field.
"I never had an operation my whole career on any part of my body, and in the last 10 years of my career I’ve never missed a game through injury," he said. "My wife looked after me well."
Nutley intends to move with his family to the Sunshine Coast, before establishing a business to import goods from China.
"I want to do something for myself after footy and am keen to do something away from football that challenges me," he said.

Paterson forms new partnership
12:00a.m. 16th December 2008
By Steve Zemek
Incoming Caloundra Sharks coach Nick Paterson says he can’t wait for season 2009 to kick off as he renews his partnership with former Cronulla teammate Danny Nutley.
Paterson, 29, will take the reigns at Caloundra from next year after recently retiring from the sport.
The former prop left the game on a high after being named in the Police World XVII following the Police World Cup, which was hosted for the most part on the Sunshine Coast.
While anxious about taking over as coach, he said it would be made all the more easier with the help of Nutley who will serve as his assistant coach.
“I think it’s absolutely fantastic that Danny’s coming on board with the club,” Paterson said.
“I know he’s passionate about rugby league and looking to continue his association with the game on the Sunshine Coast.”
Former Origin representative Nutley and Paterson both played together at Cronulla in 2002 and 2003.
Paterson said the rigours of police shift work and his age had convinced him to pull the plug on his playing days.

Former NRL hardman kicks back into Coast life
12:00a.m. 17th December 2008
By Steve Zemek
Former NRL hardman Danny Nutley says he’s faced several steep learning curves following his move to the Sunshine Coast.
First he’s had to learn the in-and-outs of running his new business, Nationwide Cleaning Supplies.
He’s also still coming to grips with his new role as assistant Coach at the Caloundra Sharks.
And then there’s what he calls “Sunshine Coast time”, a veiled reference to the region’s laid back lifestyle.
While he isn’t complaining, he says his new life on the Coast is going at a snail’s pace compared to his life in Sydney where he spent five years with the Cronulla Sharks (2002-05, 2008) and one year with the Sydney Roosters (2007).
“It’s a thousand times different,” he said. “Cronulla’s good, like it’s got good beaches.
“But it’s a lot busier and got heaps more young people, it’s more of a rat race.
“But the Coast, it’s instant kick back.
“We’ve found out what Sunshine Coast time is now. If you want something to happen, it happens in two days, it doesn’t happen straight away.”
Nutley, 34, moved to the Coast with his wife Rachael and sons Regan and Ronin in October shortly after his last game with the Sharks, their semifinal loss to the Melbourne Storm.
He said the seeds of the move were planted in his childhood when he visited the Coast on holidays.
Now following his retirement from rugby league he was able to finally make the Sunshine Coast his home where he plans to settle with his young family.
“We bought a house up here at Currumundi about three years ago, we always wanted to come up here,” he said.
“We used to come up here with the kids, every Christmas holidays.
“We used to rent the big house behind the King’s Beach surf club and we used to rent that for two weeks.
“From when I was a kid I always used to want to come up here and live up here.”
Following the move Nutley was sought out by incoming Caloundra Sharks coach Nick Paterson.
The two became friends while at the Cronulla Sharks where Paterson also played in 2002 and 2003.
After his first training run with Caloundra last week he said he was still coming to grips with his new role, however he was just happy to be lending a hand.
“I didn’t really know what my role would be,” he said.
“Patto just told me he wants a helping hand.
“But it went pretty good. I just did a couple of things in there, but not too much. I let Patto run it, he’s the coach.”

Rugby league star Danny Nutley knows nothing about business, but he reckons his 12-year sporting career has prepared him well for any challenges ahead.
The 34-year-old will officially open a new business, Nationwide Cleaning Supplies, on Main Drive, Warana next Monday.
“The football manager at the Cronulla Sharks asked me if I wanted to run the business as it expanded into Queensland,” he said.
“I was sitting around thinking, 'What the hell am I going to do after footy?'.
“There have been a lot of headaches since, mostly understanding the other side.
“When you play football, you are sheltered away from the real world. You get told what to do, where to do it, what to eat, how to eat, then you come out and you're on your own.
“I did an apprenticeship as a baker before I played footy, so I knew how the other side worked, but I was sheltered for 12 years.”
Luckily, Mr Nutley has his wife Rachael on board as his business partner. She has previously run her own yoga school in Sydney.
“It is a massive step, but I'm really looking forward to it,” he said.
“I've done a few business degrees but really I've just jumped into it.
“I have a few friends high up in business and they've all told me that you have to work hard at something if you want to be successful.”
Mr Nutley has played in the Super League in Europe with the Castleford Tigers, the Redcliffe Dolphins, the South Queensland Crushers, the Warrington Wolves, the Sydney Roosters and the Cronulla Sharks last year.
The former prop forward said his career highlight was pulling on the maroon guernsey for State of Origin 2005.
Nationwide is a contract cleaner supply store and provides cleaning supplies to mostly commercial business clients as well as residential customers.
And does he miss footy?
“Not at all. Especially this time of year, training in the heat. It's no fun.”

He probably worked out that it wasn't Monday to Friday and that the money was crap.
It sounds like the business has been set up he just needs to run it and follow a formula to be successful but to be honest I wouldn't be going into business at the moment but if he can get through the next two years and at least make a wage then he will learn a crap load thats for sure and do well.

Danny Nutley - Business game is just not football
Business game is just not football
Jason Dougherty
Sunshine Coast Daily
20th February 2010
Danny Nutley's first year in business has been a rough one, but it has taught him plenty of lessons.
“It's a lot harder than playing football, let me tell you,” the former Cronulla Sharks enforcer said.
He opened his Nationwide Cleaning Supplies business on Main Drive at Warana just over a year ago, but has since parted ways with the Sydney company and rebadged his business Nutley's Cleaning Supplies.
He has also just won the Queensland distribution rights for Quickleen, a powder cleanser that could soon be adopted by Education Queensland for use in every school in the state and is already being hailed as a revolutionary product by Coast restaurateurs.
“The first year was very hard,” he said. “ ... We've had a few people along the way take advantage of us, being so new in business.
“We also got ripped off on our website.
“You should really go to someone who specialises in websites and does nothing else but that.
“My trust in people has dropped a lot and there have been a lot of lessons.
“The thought of giving it away did cross my mind, but giving up is not an option.
“You won't know if you give up.”
Mr Nutley, who operates the business with wife Rachael, is now “pumped” about the new Quickleen relationship and considering whether to stop stocking a range of supplies in favour of concentrating on the one product.
He said one positive of the past year was that his rugby league profile had been good for business.
“It has helped massively, especially now I'm out on the road selling this one product,” he said.
“Every second person always says ‘I know you, you played for the Sharks', and that makes it so much easier to deal with them.
“It's like a massive networking thing.
“You play footy for so long; it's nice to be able to use that.”

“You should really go to someone who specialises in websites and does nothing else but that.
“My trust in people has dropped a lot and there have been a lot of lessons.
“The thought of giving it away did cross my mind, but giving up is not an option.
“You won't know if you give up.”
Mr Nutley, who operates the business with wife Rachael, is now “pumped” about the new Quickleen relationship and considering whether to stop stocking a range of supplies in favour of concentrating on the one product.
He said one positive of the past year was that his rugby league profile had been good for business.
“It has helped massively, especially now I'm out on the road selling this one product,” he said.
“Every second person always says ‘I know you, you played for the Sharks', and that makes it so much easier to deal with them.
“It's like a massive networking thing.
“You play footy for so long; it's nice to be able to use that.”

Nutley's comeback fun but no more - Sunshine Coast Daily
Nutley's comeback fun but no more

When the Sunshine Coast Falcons ran out against the Melbourne Storm at Maroochydore on Saturday night, they carried vastly more NRL experience than their opposition.
It’s an odd statistic that could win you a bet in a few years’ time.
In the youthful Storm outfit were a handful of talented youngsters who have had a brief taste of first grade, and former St George Illawarra, Penrith and Cronulla forward Bryan Norrie who has totalled 60 NRL games.
Wearing the Falcons’ No.7 was new Noosa captain-coach Dane Campbell, who played half a dozen matches for the Newcastle Knights, and in the No.10 was Danny Nutley, a veteran of 150 NRL games, almost as many in the English Super League and one State of Origin.
Campbell and Nutley, who hadn’t played a game since facing the Storm as a Cronulla player in the 2008 finals series, agreed to play for the local representative team as a favour to SCGRL president Ashley Robinson and coach Des Allen.
They will try to entice Campbell back for more rep footy later in the year, but there’s no way Nutley will continue – even if he did love playing again.
“I was just happy to be able to help Ashley and the local league out,” Nutley, who has a cleaning supplies business on the Coast, said.
“It was a promotional idea and I hoped I helped draw at least one extra person to the game.
“It was a great week. I really enjoyed being in Des and the boys’ company.
“My conditioning is very, very poor but it was all good fun.”
The Storm boys, some of whom would have been just starting primary school when Nutley made his first grade debut with the South Queensland Crushers in 1997, certainly knew he was around.
In the first quarter, Nutley charged towards the Melbourne tryline and five Storm defenders swarmed in to stop him from bagging a comeback try.
Not long before halftime, a keen Storm bench player had his sights on a four-pointer before Nutley hit him in a tackle, forcing the ball loose.
The 2005 Queensland Origin representative also had a cut on the bridge of his nose open up to give him a reminder of his night at Wises Road.
The Storm, fielding a side which featured four members of their NRL top 25 squad, including fullback Dane Chisholm who crossed for a hat-trick of tries in the first quarter, ended up scoring a 40-8 victory.
