Newcastle United are playing for more than three points against Bournemouth - Outside90

Newcastle United are playing for more than three points against BournemouthBournemouth versus Newcastle United is not a fixture that one is used to seeing on their calendar, with both clubs having a vastly contrasting history.However, as far as Toon fans are concerned, the only history that is relevant is what has happened to their club in the past year and their shocking record away from home. The match at Bournemouth will be two days away from the one year anniversary of the 2-0 win at West Brom. In the 363 days that have passed, Newcastle have won one first team match away from home and that was against Hull City (who went on to be relegated), over nine months ago.The stats of the away re..

Excited: New Sea Eagles player Matt Parcell at the launch of the club's 70th year anniversary at Freshwater SLSC.Photo: Dallas KilponenJohn Hopoate coaching at Manly after NSWRL overrules NRLFresh-faced Matt Parcell wouldn't know it but he embodies the new era Manly plan to usher in during their 70th anniversary season.The 23-year-old, who was signed from the Brisbane Broncos, will vie with former Penrith rake Api Koroisau for the vacant No.9 jumper and new coach Trent Barrett is banking on the healthy competition for that spot, and others, including five-eighth, to trigger a new hunger at the club after they missed the finals in 2015 for the first time in a decade.Barrett has recruited some..

Segeyaro: My spot's not safe

Panthers hooker James Segeyaro has brushed suggestions a shortage of hookers at the club will place a heavy reliance on himself, insisting some young guns at the club will be keeping him on his toes with competition for the Penrith No.9 jersey.Speaking at the first week of pre-season training, Segeyaro also told NRL.com that with a new coach and a few new young players around it feels like starting again at a new club.The club is also boosted by a more experienced signing – Dragons and Blues forward Trent Merrin – and Segeyaro said his time spent with Merrin with the PM's XIII trip to Papua New Guinea recently had given him a new level of admiration for the hard-working lock."We only sp..

Aloisi bags Arnold for 'stifling games'

Brisbane coach John Aloisi has bagged the "stifling" tactics of Sydney FC counterpart Graham Arnold and suggested they may not go down too well with Sky Blues supporters.Aloisi made the subtle dig after his side took a point from the A-League ladder leaders in Friday night's goalless - and soulless - draw at Allianz Stadium.The Roar had zero shots on target over the dour and niggly 90 minutes as both outfits fortified in their own thirds."Why do you think it wasn't pretty? Is that because Arnie stifles games?" Aloisi said."We knew it was going to be hard, because we know that Arnie's teams are defensive ... his teams then do end up playing good football, it just takes them a while to get int..
