| ESPN NRL expert Brett Kimmorley looks at another weekend of rugby league action, and reveals the good, bad and ugly from round 19 of the NRL in his latest edition of Set of Six.Titans play a great brand of footballI watched the Gold Coast Titans play a brand of football that is exciting to watch, led by Ash Taylor and Tyrone Roberts. Tyrone Roberts was unwanted at the Knights because he was an inconsistent footy player and Ash Taylor is only a kid.I think the fact that Neil Henry has coached Johnathan Thurston at the Cowboys, who I think is going to be the greatest player ever, holds him in good stead and he can teach them about what he saw in Thurston.I really like the style of footy the Gold Coast play; theyve got a hard forward pack that just rip in; theyve got some exciting outside backs and good young halves. I put the Titans at year one of the re-building phase that the Sharks were at three years ago.I think the Titans are on the way up massively - theyve just got to do some very selective recruitment, stay injury free, keep those players together and Kane Elgey hasnt played this year either because of injury. I think the Gold Coast are on the way up which is nice to see for a struggling rugby league community.Rabbitohs execution is really poorSouths inability to execute plays and the dropped ball syndrome has absolutely killed their season. Against Brisbane they were very good defensively, they tried hard, they were courageous; but the No.1 rule is catch and pass. I think they need to do a lot of work on it and thats been the killer for South Sydneys form this year.I like the emergence of Cody Walker; I think hes a good player. They had a young kid called Angus Crichton who debuted against the Broncos and they need these young blokes coming through because their salary cap is heavily aligned to a couple of players.Souths dont like the word re-building; I dont think they ever admit theyre going through that phase but I think thats where Souths are at.Theyve come off the rails from the 2014 grand final and the team is totally different to what it was two to three years ago and whether they like it or not, its time to re-build in a few key positions.Dragons attack is horrendousThe Dragons attack has been their No.1 problem for two years but now their defence is gone too. Theyre leaking points, theyre going backwards in defence and they cant overhaul at this time of year because theyre not far away from making the eight.They should be able to pass the ball more often that they do, they should have more momentum in attack and more options in attack. I thought Kurt Mann was the Dragons best player against the Titans and if one of your better players is a winger then its probably not the greatest endorsement for your football side.They stole a few points by playing a heavily-depleted North Queensland and Melbourne during the Origin period. If their defence goes, and it looks to me like it has, theyre never going to be able to score 30 points in a game of football.Theyve got themselves into a difficult position in regards to some of the recruitment and retention decisions theyve made as was the case with letting Trent Merrin and Brett Morris go. I think theyre a club that are currently in a position that need to pay overs to get quality players to go there.Manlys investment in Daly Cherry-Evans paying offOver the past few weeks Daly Cherry-Evans has been living up to expectations and his million dollar a year price tag. It took him some time this year to get used to playing without Kieran Foran and he had a lot of pressure and Manly got off to a bad start. But I think hes been one of the Sea Eagles best over the last few weeks.His ability and skill to kick the match-winning field goal left-footed in the wet when the game was on the line was amazing.Both Jake and Tom Trbojevic were also great and came up with some amazing plays; its a little bit of a shock just how good they are at such a young age and how comfortable they look.I think there is changing of the guard coming at some stage; we already know Jamie Lyon is retiring, we know Steve Matai is probably not too far away from going down that same path and Brett Stewart is rumoured to be going to Catalans in the English Super League.?I think Manly are on the way up and while Cherry-Evans carries a heavy price tag, I thought against the Warriors it was his class that was the difference between the two football sides.Broncos return to form with passing footballBrisbane were great to watch against Souths. It was like they went out with a much more exciting, energised brand of football. The Broncos traditionally dont pass the ball out of yardage and they get in the arm-wrestle.With Ben Hunt, Anthony Milford, Darius Boyd and Andrew McCullough back together it looked like they had their zip back. They made South Sydney chase the ball all game and probably bombed five tries, but they still won quite convincingly.Theyve got the four of the spine back together; they look like they found some form again and I think the key for Ben Hunt is to run. If he runs then I think hes a much better footy player than just a game planner or organiser.They were beaten by 40 by Melbourne two weeks ago which was a football lesson and they were in a fair hole, but they played themselves back into form against Souths.?Great idea to showcase State of Origin around AustraliaI think taking State of Origin around the country is a great idea and the announcement of it going to Perth in 2019 is a wonderful thing for our game. Its estimated itll put around $5 million dollars into the coffers and Adelaide Oval could be another precinct we might want to consider one day.I watched an Origin game at the MCG and the history and the aura surrounding that stadium is something else; I think it would be amazing to take it to other capital cities. Its the biggest beast there is and there is no reason why we should just keep it in New South Wales and Queensland. We dont need to challenge the fabric of eligibility but promote and grow the game each year with one in Queensland, one in New South Wales and one somewhere else.I think the decision to take Origin to Perth is also a hint as to where the NRL is looking to expand. Every time theres a game in Perth the fans turn up. I think you can grow a club from what Origin presents rather than put a club there first and then put Origin there.I think this is the right way of establishing a blueprint; they see the greatest spectacle our game can offer then theyll get on board but if you give them a bad 12 months of an ordinary club side then youll lose the fans before you arrive.

Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat.

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Senior striker Sophie Groff converted a penalty kick in the 74th minute to lift No. 1 seed South Carolina womens soccer to a 1-0 win over 20th-ranked Colorado in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Thursday night at Stone Stadium. The victory gave the No. 3 ranked Gamecocks (20-1-1) their most wins in a season ever and advanced them to the NCAA Tournament third round for the third time in school history. Colorado ends its 2016 campaign at 15-6-1 following the loss.Groffs game-winner came after she was taken down in the box trying to collect a cross from senior forward Daija Griffin from the right side. Colorado goalkeeper Jalen Tompkins charged into Groff and knocked her down to set up the ensuing attempt from 12 yards out. Groff, who opened the NCAA Tournament with a multi-goal match last Friday, saw Tompkins dive right and calmly slipped the ball into the left side of the net. The goal marked her second successful penalty kick of the season.Carolina, which put six shots on frame Thursday, nearly opened the scoring on two separate occasions in the first half. In the 17th minute, senior midfielder Chelsea Drennans corner kick located senior center back Paige Bendell deep inside the box. Bendell drilled a header towards net that deflected off Groff before being cleared off the line by a Colorado defender. The Gamecocks almost broke through in the 35th minute when Griffin rifled a shot from the left side of the box that was knocked away by Tompkins. The deflection created a dangerous loose ball, and Tompkins was able to punch it away again before a charging Groff could tap it in.The Gamecocks bid for a goal fell just shot again in the 50th minute when junior forward Savannah McCaskill raced to the ball and sent a diving cross into the box. Her delivery found Drennan, who one-timed a shot that missed just left. Less than 10 minutes after Groffs goal, McCaskill nearly doubled the advantage after sending a header wide left following a Carolina corner kick.Colorados best chance of the night came in the 55th minute when Buffalo forward Emily Bruder evaded the defensee and found herself one-on-one with Gamecock goalkeeper Mikayla Krzeczowski.dddddddddddd Krzeczowski charged off her line and used her leg to turn the shot away before Carolina center back Kaleigh Kurtz cleared the danger.The Gamecocks finished the match with a 15-9 shot advantage and attempted five corner kicks. Colorado put five attempts on target and totaled four corner kicks throughout the contest. Krzeczowski tallied five saves to earn her 10th shutout of the year and improve to 17-1-1 in 2016.QUOTABLEIm so proud of this team and what theyve done all year. I keep saying, you dont really understand what youve done until you can reflect upon it. Were all so focused on the run and meeting our own expectations of doing well. This team has shown all year (that) they find a way to win and they can play against the best. - South Carolina womens soccer coach Shelley SmithGAMECHANGERSenior forward Sophie Groff clinched the victory for the Gamecocks with her penalty kick in the 74th minute. The tally was the 10th career game-winning goal for the Grapevine, Texas, native.KEY STATThe Gamecocks limited the Buffaloes to just two shots on goal in the second half. Only four Colorado players registered a shot on the night.NOTABLESouth Carolina has reached the Round of 16 in the NCAA Tournament in two of the last three years. Senior striker Sophie Groffs nine career points (4G, 1A) in NCAA Tournament play are the most by a Gamecock ever. The Gamecocks are 4-of-5 on penalty attempts this season. Groff and senior midfielder Chelsea Drennan have both made two penalty shots on the year. South Carolinas 13 shutouts this fall are two shy of the programs single-season record. The Gamecocks have allowed just three goals at home in 2016. UP NEXTSouth Carolina faces No. 4 seed BYU in NCAA Tournament third round action Saturday at Stone Stadium. The fourth-ranked Cougars downed 25th-ranked Oklahoma 2-1 in Columbia earlier Thursday. Kickoff this weekend is slated for 7 p.m. ET.
