Melbourne co-owner Matthew Tripp has labelled the $100,000 awarded to rugby leagues minor premiers as embarrassing and claims the NRL wont be taken as seriously as the AFL, which offers almost six times as much.Melbourne host Cronulla on Saturday night in a clash to decide the minor premiership. The winner will be presented with the JJ Giltinan Shield and a cheque for $100,000, the reward for being the most-consistent team over 26 regular-season rounds.However, clubs feel the amount is too low, particularly when compared to the riches on offer in other sports.The AFL doesnt offer a cash prize for finishing the regular season in top spot. However, it awards $71,000 each for the two clubs eliminated in the first week of the finals, $110,000 for those in the second round, $330,000 for losing preliminary finalists and $660,000 for the runners-up. The premiers pocket $1.2 million, bringing the AFLs total pool to almost $2.9 million.The NRL, by comparison, offers only $500,000 made up from $100,000 to the minor premiers and just $400,000 to the grand final winners.Tripp told Fairfax Media on Wednesday night the disparity reflected badly on the NRL administration.$100,000 is embarrassing for the amount of work that goes in over the course of a pre-season and a season.The prestige of winning the minor premiership has waned quite considerably and its certainly not front of mind for a lot of clubs these days because the incentive isnt there.If they want to be seen as a peer of - and on equal footing to - the AFL, there are areas (league administrators) need to improve in order to be taken as seriously as the AFL. This is obviously one key area that they need to fix.I would dearly love to be able to reward the entire club for the amount of work that goes in over the course of those 26 rounds.But we have a huge payroll that are not just players - weve got an administerial roster, and $100,000 doesnt go very far, Tripp said.He said the disparity is made more farcical by the riches on offer at the Auckland Nines. The Nines winner takes home $370,000, while clubs are guaranteed $110,000 just for turning up.Alex Bars Jersey .

HOUSTON -- Angels manager Mike Scioscia called what Houston starter Bud Norris has done to his team this year a "nightmare you cant shake." Thankfully for Los Angeles, Scioscias offence woke up when Norris left the game before the eighth inning and found a way to put the Astros away for a 4-2 win on Friday night. Pinch-runner Peter Bourjos scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on an error and Erick Aybar added a two-run single in the ninth to help the Angels to the victory. Hank Conger doubled off Paul Clemens (4-3) to start the eighth. Conger was replaced by Bourjos before Aybar drew a walk. Bourjos took third on a fly out by J.B. Shuck. Shortstop Ronny Cedenos error on the play, when he bounced the ball trying to pick off Aybar at second, allowed Bourjos to dash home just ahead of the throw. Aybars bases-loaded single sent two home and extended the lead to 4-1 in the ninth. Houstons Jason Castro homered in the fourth before Mike Trout tied it at 1 with an RBI single in the sixth. The Angels had scored 33 runs on 46 hits in their last four games. But Norris, who entered the game having allowed just one run in three starts -- all wins -- against Los Angeles this season, continued to be tough on the Angels. He yielded four hits and no earned runs with five strikeouts in seven innings. "Hes thrown as well as anybody weve faced this year, probably better than anybody weve faced on a consistent basis," Scioscia said. "Hes got that fastball thats sneaky and hes mixing his breaking ball in. I thought we had better at-bats against him tonight but the results were pretty much what weve seen the first several times hes pitched against us." Conger was glad they were finally able to win a game against the Astros when Norris was pitching and extend their winning streak to four games. "Its huge," he said. "Just the fact that we were able to pull off a win facing Bud Norris, knowing how well hes been throwing against us. That was one that we really needed coming off the road trip with Detroit and bringing that momentum here was really huge for us." Los Angeles starter Jerome Williams limited Houston to five hits and a run over 6 1-3 innings. Dane De La Rosa (3-1) and Kevin Jepsen pitched 1 2-3 scoreless innings before Ernesto Frieri allowed one run in the ninth for his 20th save. The win by Los Angeles breaks a four-game losing streak to the Astros, but the Angels still trail Houston 7-4 this season. Houston manager Bo Porter was disappointed with the two errors his team made that led to two runs.dddddddddddd The Astros lead the majors with 63 errors this season. "Weve all played this game and understand that mistakes do happen and errors are a part of the game," he said. "For the most part its the speed of the game and the mental part that we definitely need to clean up." Houston had several chances to add to its run total. Perhaps the best opportunity came in the eighth inning. Jose Altuve walked with one out and stole second base. A single by Brett Wallace sent him to third but Jepsen retired Castro and Chris Carter to end the threat. Castro opened Houstons fourth with his homer to the bullpen in right-centre to make it 1-0. Williams got back on track after that, retiring the next three batters. Cedeno walked with no outs in the fifth, but Williams still faced the minimum in that inning when Cedeno was thrown out trying to steal second on a strikeout by Barnes. Aybar started the sixth with a single and advanced to second on an error by Brandon Barnes. A one-out single by Trout sent Aybar home to tie it at 1-all. Altuve singled in the sixth before Castro took a one-out walk. But Houston came away empty-handed when Altuve was caught trying to steal third before Carter grounded into a force out. Carlos Pena and J.D. Martinez hit back-to-back singles to start the seventh and chase Williams. Pena was thrown out trying to advance to third on the single by Martinez. De La Rosa struck out Cedeno before centre fielder Trout made an excellent running catch on a sharp fly ball hit by Matt Dominguez to end the inning. Barnes made a pair of nifty defensive plays in the third inning. The first one came when he sprinted and leaped to grab a fly ball hit by Conger before crashing into the padded wall in centre field and falling to the ground for the first out of the third. He then ended the inning by dashing to make a diving catch on a liner hit by Shuck. Scioscia was impressed by Congers at-bats on Friday. "Hank hit the ball hard every time," Scioscia said. "Drove the ball well to centre field; Barnes made a couple good plays on him. And then he just hammered that last one for a double in the eighth and was the start of our go-ahead rally." NOTES: The series continues on Saturday when Houstons Jordan Lyles opposes Joe Blanton. ... Houston signed ninth-round draft pick C catcher Brian Holberton, 14th-rounder LHP Chris Cotton, 18th-round pick 3B Adam Nelubowich, 19th-round pick C Jake Rodriguez and RHP Juan Santos, who was selected in the 39th round.Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys Wholesale Basketball Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys ' ' ' |
