The NRLs under-20s competition will be scrapped at the end of next year, Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant has confirmed.The youth competition has been on borrowed time since former NRL head of strategy Shane Richardsons whole-of-game review last year but there was speculation it may continue beyond 2017 in some capacity.Instead, statewide under-20s competitions will be rolled out in NSW and Queensland, while the NSW and Queensland Cups will be expanded to take on an elevated role in rugby leagues development pathway, Grant said.Theyll be more on television, theres going to be more clubs in the competition and theres going to be stronger connections through to the NRL clubs to make sure we get players from the NRL who arent playing for their team each weekend to come back into the tier two competition, Grant told reporters in Brisbane on Friday.The national under-20s competition has been plagued by concerns it is not an adequate finishing school and puts undue pressure on young players.Grant defended the ARL Commissions attempts to limit the earning capacity of NRL rookies as negotations continue over a new collective barganing agreement.The Rugby League Players Assocation is philosophically opposed to capping salaries but Grant said it was a sensible way to fix to a clear problem.The fact is we take young men in our game away from their homes too early, we put them into intensive competitions, we ask too much of them and quite frankly weve had some disastrous outcomes, he said.Thats all about giving them expectations beyond what is reasonable at the time and frankly paying them too much money will do that.We understand the RLPAs situation and weve got an obligation to negotiate with the RLPA around these sort of things. But by the same token, were really trying to respond to the issues weve got.Meanwhile, Grant indicated a name change may be on the cards for the NSW and Queensland Cups as their current monikers dont ring true given the level of current and future international involvement.The Papua New Guinea Hunters have played in the Queensland Cup since 2014 while the entry of a Fijian team into the NSW Cup is expected to be approved in the coming weeks.What it does for PNG is fantastic, rugby league is their national sport and it really means something to them. Its the same with Fiji, Grant said.We have players in our NRL competition that come from all of those places and weve got to make sure theyve got local rugby league that they can see thats at the elite level.

The Indians shut out Texas for the second straight day, 6-0 Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and give Cleveland its fourth straight victory. Ubaldo Jimenez (8-5) allowed two hits in eight scoreless innings -- matching his longest outing of the season -- and the Indians recorded their major league-leading 14th shutout. "Sometimes you catch a team at a good time when theyre not hot and you have to take advantage of it," Indians manager Terry Francona said. Cleveland is three games behind Detroit in the AL Central. The Rangers, who have lost 12 of 15, have seen their normally high-powered offence come to a stop. Texas hasnt scored since the eighth inning of Friday nights 11-8 loss in 11 innings, a stretch of 21 innings. The Rangers are 2-8 since the All-Star break. "There is a difference between getting beat and losing," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "The first two games, we got beat. What I want to see is the Texas Rangers. Today they were out there, but I didnt see who I thought the Texas Rangers were." Elvis Andrus first-inning double and A.J. Pierzynskis single in the fifth accounted for the Rangers only hits. Jason Kipnis two-out single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie. Yan Gomes RBI single and Michael Bourns two-run double added three runs in the sixth as the Indians completed their first three-game sweep at home over Texas since Aug. 12-14, 1980. The Indians winning streak has come at an opportune time. Cleveland lost four of five coming out of the All-Star break and committed 11 errors in seven games after the layoff. "Were having fun and were pulling off some good wins," said first baseman Nick Swisher, who had three hits Sunday. "Collectively, were playing great. They have some great hitters over there so for our pitchers to be doing that, were doing something right." Jimenez struck out six and walked three. Vinnie Pestano pitched the ninth. "Its good competition," Jimenez said of the Indians pitching success. "You dont want to be the guy who goes out there and doesnt pitch well. Everybody wants to pitch a good game." Kipnis single came off Alexi Ogando (4-3), who allowed one run in 4 2-3 innings. Clevelands sixth-inning runs came off reliever Robbie Ross. Mike Aviles added a two-run homer in the eighth. Kipnis first-inning single capped a 12-pitch at-bat against Ogando, who had to work arounnd trouble in the first three innings before settling down.dddddddddddd He retired seven straight at one point before Bourn drew a two-out walk in the fifth. Swisher singled before Kipnis dropped a single in front of right fielder Nelson Cruz to score Bourn. Kipnis hit finished Ogando, who threw 92 pitches in his second start since coming off the disabled list. The right-hander allowed three runs in five innings on Wednesday against the Yankees. Ogando allowed six hits, walked two and struck out one. Singles by Michael Brantley and Carlos Santana started the sixth-inning rally. Gomes singled up the middle with two outs to score Brantley before Bourn drove a double to left-centre for a 4-0 lead. Jimenez, who struck out six and walked three, dodged trouble in the first when Andrus doubled with one out. Cruz followed with a walk, but Adrian Beltre bounced into a double play. Jimenez retired 10 in a row before Pierzynski singled to lead off the fifth. David Murphy walked and Jurickson Profar sacrificed but Mitch Moreland, who is hitless in his past 20 at-bats, popped out. Leonys Martin hit a hard ground ball on a 3-2 pitch to Swisher, who made a lunging stop at first base. He dropped the ball on the way to the bag, but recovered in time to record the out. Right fielder Ryan Raburn made a leaping catch at the wall in the eighth to take an extra base hit from Mitch Moreland. Bourn never saw the ball off the bat and Raburn raced into right-centre to make the catch. Andrus has hit safely in all 37 career games against the Indians. Texas right-hander Tanner Scheppers pitched a scoreless seventh inning in his first appearance since he was involved in a physical altercation in downtown Cleveland late Thursday night. He sustained facial cuts and bruises in the incident, which the Rangers and police are investigating, and was unavailable to pitch Friday. Scheppers said before Saturdays game that he could pitch but wasnt used. NOTES: Washington said the slumping Moreland will likely be rested in two of the next three games. ...
