导出博客文章The NRL will consider introducing a captains challenge for the 2017 season in
what could be a major shake-up of the video review system.The initiative will be
trialled for the first time in a NRL game in this Saturdays final-round match
between St George Illawarra and Newcastle.It will also be used in the under-20s
finals series with a view to bringing it in next year.If its successful, we will
look at it to maybe put into the game next year, NRL chief executive Todd
Greenberg said.Im not saying its definitely coming through but were very hopeful
of the concept.The initiative allows the bunker to review a try/no-try decision
if one of the captains believes it to be incorrect.Both the Knights and Dragons
agreed to the trial with both sides out of the race for the top eight heading
into the final round.It has been endorsed by the NRL competition committee and
the ARL Commission and will be reviewed following the end of the season.A
captains challenge would take heat off the bunker video review system, which has
copped criticism from fans and pundits in its first year.The concept has
previously been used in the under-20s competition as well as other sports such
as cricket and tennis.Greenberg said the game was only ready to look at for use
in its senior competition because the bunker was in place.We trialled this in
the 20s for a number of years but we didnt have the technology to support it,
Greenberg said.Now we have the technology to use.Weve been working on this
quietly for a couple of months and were ready to trial it, he said.CAPTAINS
CHALLENGE:How the captains challenge will work:* The captain is allowed to
challenge a referees decision in relation to tries and, if challenged, will be
sent up to the bunker* Each team is allowed one incorrect decision per half.
There is no limit on challenges if a captain continues to make successful
challenges* Captains will have 20 seconds following a try/no try to contest the
decision* No replays will be shown on a big screen at the ground until the time
allowed for requesting a captains challenge has elapsed* Captains may challenge
a try decision based on groundings, knock-ons, obstruction, double movement,
offside, touchline/deadball line, tackle in the air, steals involving two or
more defenders, foul play

Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at
least 80 points in each of their games. LOS ANGELES -- Scott Kazmir is running
short on time to prove he belongs on the Dodgers postseason roster. Fresh off
the disabled list, the veteran pitcher was dealt another blow when spasms cut
short his start.Ross Stripling picked up the slack with three scoreless innings
of relief, Joc Pederson and pinch-hitter Andre Ethier hit back-to-back home runs
in the fourth inning and the Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Friday
night after an emotional pre-game ceremony honoring Vin Scully.Their third
straight victory trimmed the Dodgers magic number for clinching a record fourth
consecutive NL West title to two. Their division lead increased to seven games
after San Francisco lost at San Diego 7-2.Kazmir allowed two hits while tossing
just 19 pitches in his first start for the Dodgers since Aug. 22. He left after
one inning because of right spasms in his ribs and chest. The left-hander spent
the past month on the disabled list with neck inflammation.It was tough for me
to swallow, he said. Its frustrating.Kazmir said the pain on his front side was
similar to what he felt during a brief stint at Triple-A Oklahoma City.You cant
stay strong, he said. I had to not throw as hard.Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
removed Kazmir to avoid the risk of further injury.I feel bad for Kaz, Roberts
said. Hes gone through a lot and had high expectations for tonight, and the body
wasnt responding.Pederson worked the count to 3-2 during a nine-pitch at-bat
before homering off Jon Gray (10-9) with two outs. Ethier followed with his
first homer of the season into the lower right-field seats, extending the
Dodgers lead to 4-0.Yasmani Grandals RBI single gave Los Angeles a 2-0 lead in
the first. Corey Seager scored from third and Colorado catcher Tom Murphy had
his back to the plate as he fielded the throw from right field, allowing Justin
Turner to score from second.Stripling (5-8) allowed two hits in three innings,
struck out four and walked two.Its long relief, so its kind of like a start,
Stripling said. I can still pitch the way Im used to.Kenley Jansen retired the
side with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth for his 47th save in 53
chances.Gray gave up four runs and three hits in four innings. The right-hander
struck out 10 and walked three on 106 pitches. Gray was coming off a
franchise-record 16 strikeouts in a complete-game 8-0 win over San Diego last
weekend. His combined 26 strikeouts are the most in a two-game span in Coloraado
franchise history.ddddddddddddI knew from the beginning it would be a tough day
with no fastball command, Gray said. Fastball command is number one when it
comes to pitching. Without that it is incredibly tough to succeed.Colorado
scored its runs in the sixth on Nolan Arenados 40th homer leading off and Tom
Murphys RBI single.The Dodgers honored Scully on his appreciation night with
fellow left-handers Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw among those paying tribute
to the 88-year-old Hall of Fame broadcaster who is retiring when the regular
season ends next weekend.I should be on my knees to pray in thanksgiving for all
the wonderful things that have happened to me, said Scully, showered with the
same roar of the crowd that first enticed him while listening to college
football games on the familys four-legged radio as an 8-year-old in the
Bronx.Ive loved this game for 80 years, he said.TITLE BELTThe Dodgers player of
the game belt went to Stripling. The large decorated blue belt resembles one
given to a prize fighter. That thing weighs like 10 pounds, Stripling said.
Technically, it goes to the whole bullpen but they let me keep it in my
locker.WORKING `PENThe eight innings of relief set a single-season Dodgers
record for most bullpen innings pitched with 559.0. The old mark of 553.0 was
set in 2009.SINGING SCULLYScully did a bit of lip-synching while his
pre-recorded version of Take Me Out to the Ballgame played in the seventh
inning. He had his arm around wife Sandi and a banner reading Ill Miss You! was
unrolled from his booth while the sellout crowd of 52,320 cheered him as they
had all night.QUOTE OF THE NIGHTAs many times as Ive been on this field, Ive
never been this nervous. -- 80-year-old Koufax said before addressing the
crowd.WHAT A CATCHJosh Reddick charged a ball hit by Colorados DJ LeMahieu to
right field, catching it on the run and completing a cartwheel to hold the
runner at third base with two outs in the third. LeMahieus 38-game on-base
streak and 13-game hitting streak ended as he went 0 for 4.UP NEXTRockies: RHP
