Punted Brisbane centre Dale Copley has gained the ultimate revenge on the Broncos, leading Sydney Roosters to a comprehensive 32-16 win over his former NRL club at Allianz Stadium on Thursday night.Copley scored two tries and laid on another to hand Brisbane their seventh loss in their past nine games and put a significant dent in their top four hopes.Copley totally outplayed his opposite James Roberts, the player who pushed him out of the Broncos when he made a late off-season move from Gold Coast to Red Hill.Boyd Cordner and Blake Ferguson also starred in what was just the Roosters fourth win of the year.Man of the match Cordner bent back the Broncos defensive line all night and scored a deserved try in the 62nd minute.Copleys second four-pointer five minutes later all but sealed the win for the Roosters.Darius Boyd scored eight minutes from time before Herman Eseese was controversially disallowed a try of his own by the bunker two minutes, as they ruled it a double movement, a decision that ended any chance of a late Brisbane comeback.But it was a deserved victory for the Roosters who enjoyed their best win of a disappointing year.The Roosters held a lions share of possession early and led 6-0 after five minutes courtesy of a Copley try set up by a Blake Ferguson pass.Jarrod Wallace hit back for the Broncos via a kick deflection for a score of 6-all after 19 minutes.A Latrell Mitchell try from a Connor Watson offload put the home side ahead again in the 27th minute.Ferguson then scored himself in the 32nd minute when Copley broke the Roosters line and the home side enjoyed an 18-6 lead at the break.After halftime Shaun Kenny-Dowall and Tom Opacic traded tries before the Roosters won the crucial moments when the game was in the balance to break a six-game losing streak.Coach Wayne Bennett said the Broncos struggled without representative stars Josh McGuire, Sam Thaiday and Matt Gillett and the loss of Lachlan Maranta due to concussion early hit them hard.We missed three Australian players, they are a bit better than a few good ones, he said.To be short an outside back, it impacts across the whole situation.Bennett declined to expand on what he thought the Broncos ongoing problems were.It is what it is, was all he offered.However he said they still had a chance to make an impact this season.We are not thinking about the premiership and the top four. We need to get some momentum over the last five games leading into the finals.Bennett wasnt impressed with the no try ruling against Eseese.Thats why the punters get so upset, he said.Roosters coach Trent Robinson said the win was a result of weeks of hard work after they had pressed top two sides Cronulla and Melbourne in recent weeks but lost.We probably played better in the last couple of games, Robinson said.I thought we worked hard for it in the first half and relied on some individual stuff in the second half.The footy is there but there is still some stuff as to why we are not in the eight and why we are not contenders this year. If we could make the eight I dont think we would contend.I have come to terms why we are in the place we are in. We have paid for our sins. We have been playing some really good footy without winning, but we won tonight.Copley was dropped for last weeks loss to Melbourne but Robinson said he was always going to play him against his old club.I thought he was great tonight, Robinson said.Vin Baker Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level.CLEVELAND -- Jake Arietta made a brief run at a no-hitter and ended another 71-year pause between celebrations for the Chicago Cubs and their faithful fans.Not only are they back in the World Series, theyve won there again.One more drought quenched, one more to go.Arrieta carried a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, Kyle Schwarber drove in two runs and the Cubs brushed off a shutout to even the Series with their first Fall Classic win in more than seven decades, 5-1 over the Cleveland Indians in Game 2 on Wednesday night.Arrieta, who pitched a no-hitter earlier this season, briefly invoked Don Larsens name by flirting with one deep in October before the Indians touched him for two hits and a run. However, the right-hander helped give Chicago just what it needed -- a split at Progressive Field -- before the Cubbies return to their Wrigley Field den for the next three games starting Friday night.Its always crazy good, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said when asked how he expected things to be on the corner of Clark and Addison for Game 3. But Id have to imagine a little bit more than that, especially coming back at 1-1. I think the folks will be jacked up about the win tonight.Its the finest venue there is in professional sports and maybe in all of sports.The Cubs hadnt won in the Series since beating Detroit 8-7 in 1945 to force a decisive Game 7, and after their latest win, hundreds of Chicago fans gathered in the pouring rain in the rows behind their first-base dugout, where they danced and sang. A few waved the familiar white and blue W flags.They hope to do it three more times.The big-swinging Schwarber, who made it back for Chicagos long-awaited Series return after missing six months with an injured left knee, hit an RBI single in the third off Clevelands Trevor Bauer and had another in the Cubs three-run fifth -- highlighted by Ben Zobrists run-scoring triple.In Game 1, Schwarber doubled and walked.No, its not that easy, first off. Baseballs a crazy game, he said.Even the presence of star LeBron James and the NBA champion Cavaliers, sporting their new rings, couldnt stop the Indians from losing for the first time in six home games this postseason.And Cleveland manager Terry Franconas magical touch in October finally fizzled as he dropped to 9-1 in Series games.We gave up nine hits, eight walks, two errors, and we only gave up five runs, Francona said. For us to win, we generally need to play a clean game, and we didnt do that.With rain in the forecast, Major League Baseball moved the first pitch up an hour in hopes of avoiding delays or a postponement.It turned out to be a good call as the game went on without a hitch and ended after more than four hours as light rain was beginning to fall.Arrieta and the Cubs provided the only storm.The bearded 30-year-old coasted through five innings without allowing a hit, and his no-hit bid was the longest in a Series game since Jerry Koosman of the New York Mets tossed six no-hit innings in 1969.For a brief period, Arrieta looked as if he might challenge Larsens gem -- a perfect game -- in 1956 before Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis, a die-hard Cubs fan as a kid, doubled with one out in the sixth .Arrieta has two career no-hitters, inn fact, including the only one in the majors this year.dddddddddddd.I knew I hadnt given up a hit all the way to the sixth, Arietta said. Thats really not the focus in a game like this. Whether they get a hit or not really doesnt affect the way you continue to approach that lineup, especially with a five-run lead.Kipnis was impressed.We didnt get much going, he said. You have to tip your hat to Arietta. He was awesome.Cubs lefty Mike Montgomery replaced Arrieta and worked two scoreless innings before Aroldis Chapman came in and unleashed his 103 mph heat while getting the last four outs in his Series debut.The teams will have an off day before the series resumes with Game 3 at Wrigley, which will host its first Series game since 1945, when tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave with his pet goat, Murphy, and a curse was born.Josh Tomlin will start for the Indians, who will lose the designated hitter in the NL ballpark, against Kyle Hendricks.Schwarber might also wind up on the bench after two days as the DH. Maddon loves the way hes swinging but isnt sure hes ready to play in the outfield.Thats something Im waiting to hear from our guys, from our medical side, because obviously he looks good, he said. He looks good at the plate. Running the bases he looks pretty good so far.And the Cubs finally do, too, as they head home.Unlike his start in Toronto on Oct. 17, when his stitched cut opened up and Bauer was forced to make a bloody departure in the first inning, his finger held up fine.The Cubs, though, put a few nicks in him in 3 2/3 innings.I just wasnt sharp for whatever reason, Bauer said.The drone accident has brought attention to the quirky Bauer, and one Chicago fan tried to rattle the right-hander by sending a smaller version of the remote-controlled, flying object that cut him.Bauer posted a photo of it on Twitter, saying I see the (at)Cubs fans love me! How nice of them to send me a gift!ODDS AND ENDSFranconas nine-game winning streak was the third longest in history, trailing Joe Torre (14) and Joe McCarthy (10). . The Cubs are 7-1 this postseason when scoring first. ... The teams combined for a Series record-tying three wild pitches. ... Indians RHP Danny Salazar made his first postseason appearance since starting the 2013 AL wild-card game. ... This is the 58th time the Series has been tied 1-1. The Game 2 winner has won the title 29 times.SHORT RESTLooking ahead, Francona has already decided hell bring Kluber back on short rest for Game 4. It wasnt much of a decision, really, after the right-hander confounded the Cubs in Game 1, painting the corners for 6 1/3 innings.UP NEXTCubs: Hendricks is coming off his brilliant performance in Game 5 of the NLCS when he pitched two-hit ball for seven innings as the Cubs clinched their first pennant in 71 years. The right-hander led the majors with a 2.13 ERA.Indians: It will be an emotional night for Tomlin, who will pitch on 12 days rest with his ailing father, Jerry, in attendance. The elder Tomlin became stricken with a spinal condition in August, when Tomlin was struggling on the mound. ' ' '
