still faces a battle to reclaim his spot in 2017 from Tyrone R

The NSWRL has announced plans to launch the states first elite womens rugby league competition within three years.The states governing body on Wednesday announced an under-18 womens nines competition would launch next season.The competition, the Tarsha Gale Nines, will be run alongside the state-based junior mens representative competitions, SG Ball and Harold Matthews Cup.Its not known how many teams will take part and the NSWRL has called for expressions of interest, however NRL clubs including Cronulla have expressed support for the project.The NSWRL will launch an under-16s womens nines competition in 2018 and expected to roll out an open age 13-a-side division the year after.Women is the fastest growing participation segment for the NSWRL and that trend is expected to continue following the states drought-breaking win last month in the Interstate Challenge against Queensland.Previously, there had been a gap in elite pathways for women leading to many players being lost to the game and NSW State of Origin coach Laurie Daley said the Tarsha Gale Nines was focused on addressing that.I think womens rugby league over the last couple of years has just exceeded everyones expectations, Daley said.Theres always been keen interest in rugby league for women as spectators but the last five to 10 years has been a big increase in participation.So when that increase came, we just didnt have that pathway in place.

Juventus says Pirlo underwent tests on Monday which revealed he has "a second-degree lesion to the collateral medial ligament in his right knee. Gold Coast star Jarryd Hayne rates young Titans five-eighth Kane Elgey so highly that he believes he has a better long pass than Andrew Johns.Elgey, 22, missed all of last season with a knee injury, but came back to train with the team before their elimination finals loss to Brisbane - and it was all Hayne needed to see to compare him to the rugby leagues eighth Immortal.(Former Parramatta half) Timmy Smith and Joey Johns had some great long balls that really caught your eye, Hayne said.But I think Kane, the way he can throw it from left to right, was something Ive never seen before.Elgey debuted for the Titans in 2015, and was the clubs rookie of the year that season before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee in January, ruling him out of 2016.The Gold Coast junior still faces a battle to reclaim his spot in 2017 from Tyrone Roberts, who partnered with Ash Taylor in 2016 to take the club to the finals for the first timme since 2010.ddddddddddddBut Hayne already cant wait for the opportunity to spend the pre-season alongside him.Its going to be exciting to see him run around, he said.His long ball is unbelievable - probably one of the best Ive ever seen, Hayne said.Elgey is yet to combine with Taylor, Hayne or hooker Nathan Peats in a match - the latter two only joining the club midway through last season.The pre-season will also give Hayne his first chance to combine extensively with the teams halves.He played nine games with Peats at the Eels in 2014.Thats really important and having us all back, Hayne said.To get the majority of us back together for a good three months solid, thats going to be huge for us.We are expecting a big year next year. Weve got a lot going for us but now its about putting the runs on the board. ' ' '
