After redefining the meaning of annus horribilis in 2016, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur just hopes the club is judged for their on-field resolve, not their off-field controversies.In the wake of the NRL salary cap scandal, there isnt too much to admire about the Eels set up this year - except for the manner in which his side has conducted themselves on the field.The NSW government is on Monday expected to use their powers under liquor and gaming laws to sack the board.With the writing on the wall, chairman Steve Sharp has fallen on his sword and NSW deputy premier Troy Grant will install a temporary administrator.Throughout all the controversies - including Semi Radradra being charged with domestic violence offences, Kieran Foran asking for a release to address personal problems and Corey Norman being charged with drug possession - Arthur has kept his side focused.After being deducted 12 points, their finals chances took a fatal blow when they were overrun 22-18 by Penrith on Sunday afternoon.They have had every excuse to turn belly-up during the year but have been exemplary in their effort.Youve seen what happened today, the boys didnt give up even when they got a run of tries early in the piece, Arthur said.We just didnt give up and fought right til the end. We might have got lucky there with two minutes to go, we tap that ball back and we could have scored under the posts and it could have been great for us.Were proud of this playing group and they just need to keep fronting up for themselves. At the moment weve got a lot of fans and we just want to keep fronting up for our fans.Meanwhile, Newcastle put in a valiant effort but were overcome 20-16 by title contenders Melbourne at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.A try to Jake Mamo three minutes from fulltime set up a grandstand finish but a double to Marika Koroibete proved the difference.Brisbane showed they werent a spent force when they thumped South Sydney 30-10 on Saturday night.Corey Oates crossed for a double while fullback Darius Boyd was outstanding as the Rabbitohs slumped to their sixth straight loss.Manly kept their slim finals hopes alive when Daly Cherry-Evans booted a golden point field goal to fire his side to a 15-14 win over the Warriors in Perth.On Friday night the Gold Coast jumped into the top eight over the top of St George Illawarra with a 32-12 win which heaped pressure on Dragons coach Paul McGregor.Malik Beasley Jersey .

The International Olympic Committee released the official list of bid cities on Friday after the deadline for applications had passed. The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm.Derbyshire 362 (Madsen 76, Raine 5-66) and 104 for 4 drew with Leicestershire 380 (Eckersley 117, Parkinson 4-90) and 294 for 9 dec (Eckersley 104) lead by 127 runsScorecard The pitch, easy-paced throughout, had the final word as this Division Two match ended in a draw, though not before Ned Eckersley completed his second hundred of the match - the second time in his career the Leicestershire batsman has scored a century in both innings of a Championship fixture.Leicestershire, who resumed on an apparently precarious 109 for 5, a lead of just 127, lost just one wicket during the morning session while increasing their lead to over 200.Things might have been different had Chesney Hughes, at first slip, been able to hold a chance given by Niall OBrien in the opening over, the left-hander edging a Tony Palladino delivery to first slip. Hughes juggled the ball three times but was unable to hang on.OBrien and Eckersley then batted without alarm, albeit scoring at just two runs an over, in extending their partnership past 50. OBrien had not hit a boundary in 116 balls when shortly before lunch he went back to a cut a delivery from left-arm spinner Callum Parkinson and edged a catch behind.Clint McKay could not resist trying to loft Parkinsons left-arm spin into the stands, missed and was bowled, but Ben Rainne gave Eckersley solid support in adding 53 for the eighth wicket before losing his middle stump to Neil Brooms occasional offspin.ddddddddddddEckersley, who hit 117 in the first innings, then went to his century off 170 balls, becoming the first Leicestershire batsman to achieve the feat since he himself did so against Worcestershire in 2013.The declaration came very late, leaving Derbyshire a target of 313 off 38 over, and when Raine bowled Billy Godleman without scoring, and Chesney Hughes got a leading edge off McKay and was caught at mid-on for 5, there were some wondering whether Leicestershire had been too pessimistic about the docility of the pitch.The more so when Ben Slater went leg before to a Charlie Shreck delivery that kept low and Broom was caught in the gully having edged a Shreck delivery onto his pad, leaving the visitors of 43 for 4.Throughout the game, however, once the new ball effect wore off batsmen found it relatively easy to survive, and Wayne Madsen and Shiv Thakor - not without the occasional alarm - saw their side through to the draw. Parkinson, on his first class debut, bowled a remarkable 70.4 overs in the match, and finished with six wickets. ' ' '
