More NRL games will be played in regional locations as a sweetener for the leagues decision to scrap the annual NSW City-Country Origin clash.The NRL on Monday confirmed the 88-year-old fixture will be scrapped after the 2017 edition in Mudgee.While it is disappointing that we cannot fit this game into the schedule post-2017, we are determined to take more rugby league to regional NSW and other communities throughout the country, NRL head of football Brian Canavan said on Monday.In the draw we will be releasing shortly, there will be a host of games played throughout the country and that is a trend which will continue.More than 8000 fans turned out in Tamworth in May this year as City won in an 44-30 upset, with the traditional fixture also selling out grounds in Wagga Wagga and Dubbo in recent years.But the pre-State of Origin clash was no longer viewed as a genuine trial for NSW spots, even with 2016 Blues debutants Tyson Frizell (Country), Jack Bird (Country) and Josh Mansour (City) running out this year.Country NSW has produced some of the finest players to wear the green and gold and we will pay tribute to them during this final match, Country Rugby League boss Terry Quinn said.Players like Mick Cronin, Blocker Roach, Boyd Cordner, Tyson Frizell and so many others learnt their craft in country areas and went on to become greats in our game.The 2017 City-Country clash will be played at Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium on May 7.

Although both of these teams had to win on the last day of the season to assure their playoff spot, and although the Red Sox wrapped up the division a couple of weeks ago with very little drama, believe it or not, Baltimore spent more time in first place this season than both Boston and Toronto combined.Neither of these teams rely on starting pitching as a team strength, but from a handicapping perspective, the Blue Jays bring the mildly more respected starter to the game in Marcus Stroman thanks to his MLB-leading ground-ball tendencies. Among all qualified MLB starters, only Stroman, who induced ground balls from 60.1 percent of the batters he faced, hhad a rate above 57 percent.dddddddddddd Thats an especially useful trait to have against Baltimore, which hit more home runs in 2016 (253) than any team in the past six seasons.The traits may theoretically line up well for Stroman, but he proved no mystery to Baltimore this year, as they torched him for four home runs in 23 innings pitched en route to hanging a 7.04 ERA and 1-2 record on Torontos nominal ace in four appearances. In contrast to Stroman, Baltimore starter Chris Tillman is a heavy flyball pitcher with a ground-ball rate 20 percent lower than Stromans. ' ' '
