Gold Coast have leapfrogged a meek St George Illawarra into the NRL top eight with a 32-12 win at Jubilee Oval.Bolstered by the return of young halfback Ash Taylor, the Titans ran in six tries to two against the Dragons who looked rudderless and predictable in attack in front of 8256 Friday night fans.Without halfback Benji Marshall (hamstring) and fullback Josh Dugan (broken jaw), Paul McGregors side struggled for points and the loss will surely raise further questions about their finals credentials and poor attacking record.Titans five-eighth Tyrone Roberts had arguably his best game of the year, setting up two tries and producing a five-star kicking display.Every member of the Titans back five ran for over 100 metres including MacDonald, who racked up 221m, while Josh Hoffman was outstanding with a try assist and 153m.Gold Coast were clinical, completing 33 of 39 sets with their control of the football telling in the wash up. By the time the visitors had raced to an 8-0 lead, the Dragons had touched the ball just once.Neil Henrys side ran the length of the field to score three times, including MacDonalds second in the 56th minute after intercepting a looping Gareth Widdop pass on the left edge.The Titans led 8-0 after seven minutes following MacDonalds first four-pointer and one to backrower Chris McQueen, as the visitors starved the Dragons of possession and executed almost perfectly in the opening exchanges.The Dragons got back into it when Kurt Mann stretched out in the 17th minute but they couldnt maintain their pressure and the Titans ran away with it in the second half.The Titans have a nervous wait with lock Greg Bird put on report for a high shot on Widdop in the first half. Ty Sambrailo Jersey . Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens. During last nights game he tweeted: "Hello? Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. Ito Smith Jersey . Bryzgalov stopped 25 shots on Saturday in the Oklahoma City Barons 4-1 victory over the Abbotsford Heat. The Oilers signed Bryzgalov to a one-year $2 million contract last Friday after shedding payroll by dealing defenceman Ladislav Smid to the Flames. http://www.cheapfalconsjerseysonsale.com/?tag=takkarist-mckinley-jersey-sale . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Matt Schaub Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. Tony Gonzalez Jersey . Speaking Thursday on TSN 1050 Thursday, the Leafs GM also touched on the questions surrounding the teams leadership and the struggles of his big-name free-agent signing. “Its not from lack of effort from the coaching staff. PITTSBURGH -- Technically, the calls were different. In the Pittsburgh Steelers huddle, however, the translation was the same: Get the ball to LeVeon Bell and get out of the way.Six straight times in the fourth quarter last Sunday against New York, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took the snap, turned around and put the ball in the hands of Pittsburghs increasingly versatile and seemingly tireless running back. And six straight times Bell pushed the pile forward, protecting the lead, the ball to help put the finishing touches on a 24-14 victory.Obviously were trying to end the game and obviously they know that, Bell said. Were just running the ball against their will and they cant slow us down or stop us. It gives you a motivation boost.A reality check, too.The offense that talked about putting up 30 points every week hasnt reached that total during the three-game winning streak thats pulled the Steelers (7-5) out of a midseason swoon and back into the thick of the AFC playoff race. Instead, Pittsburgh is leaning more heavily on a dominant line and Bells fresh legs.Roethlisberger has thrown it 94 times and handed off 87 times over the last 12 quarters. While he insists its simply taking advantage of what the defense is giving it, theres a little bit more at play. The wide receivers behind Antonio Brown have been a bit of a mess due to injuries and the defense is young and thin, particularly along the line. So why not burn the clock, give it to one of the best all-around players in the league and take your chances?I think LeVeon got it going, said tackle Chris Hubbard, who occasionally enters as a tight end to give the Steelers a little more push up front. We found what were good at and what were comfortable with and we got into a rhythm.One that might not be so great for fantasy owners but works pretty well on the actual field. It might not look as pretty on the scoreboard as it did while averaging 34 points in their first four victories, but it seems the Steelers are fine with ditching style points for substance.At the end of the day, its December football, Bell said. We understand everybody is fighting for position. We just want to get the job done. Thats all there is too it.The explosivenness Pittsburgh showcased early in the year has been replaced by something more pragmatic.dddddddddddd The Steelers have 17 scoring drives this season of 10 or more plays. Six of them have come over the last three weeks. Its also taken some of the pressure off a defense that has risen from 30th in yards allowed to a respectable 14th over the last month.Roethlisberger gave much of the credit to offensive coordinator Haley, who is among the leagues most creative play callers -- look no further than Bells option pass last week (which he threw away when nothing developed) -- but who also has become pretty effective at adapting quickly. He borrowed the six-lineman formation from Oakland once guard Ramon Foster and tackle Marcus Gilbert returned from injury, freeing up Hubbard to experiment at tight end.While there are at least two calls out of the six-lineman set that send Hubbard out for a pass, in reality when hes in the game theres not much disguising what is coming. The fact the Steelers are able to execute anyway is a testament to execution. Thats why the vibe was so electric during that clinching drive against one of the leagues best defensive lines.We just got to keep rolling, Hubbard said. We want that clock to roll out as much as possible so the other team wont get the ball back.Turns out keepaway can be just as effective as putting the scoreboard on tilt. Considering the wintry conditions that potentially await in Buffalo (6-6) on Sunday, the most direct path to the playoffs will likely continue to be through Bell. Thats fine by him.I was born for this, he said.Pittsburghs offense too.Game notes K Chris Boswell (abdomen), NT Javon Hargrave (concussion), WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (foot) and S Shamarko Thomas (concussion) did not practice Wednesday. ... RB DeAngelo Williams (knee) was limited. ... Pittsburgh named LB Arthur Moats as its nominee for the NFLs Walter Payton Man of the Year Award given annually to players who make significant contributions both on and off the field.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
