After redefining the meaning of annus horribilis in 2016, Parramatta coach Brad Arthur just hopes the club is judged for their on-field resolve, not their off-field controversies.In the wake of the NRL salary cap scandal, there isnt too much to admire about the Eels set up this year - except for the manner in which his side has conducted themselves on the field.The NSW government is on Monday expected to use their powers under liquor and gaming laws to sack the board.With the writing on the wall, chairman Steve Sharp has fallen on his sword and NSW deputy premier Troy Grant will install a temporary administrator.Throughout all the controversies - including Semi Radradra being charged with domestic violence offences, Kieran Foran asking for a release to address personal problems and Corey Norman being charged with drug possession - Arthur has kept his side focused.After being deducted 12 points, their finals chances took a fatal blow when they were overrun 22-18 by Penrith on Sunday afternoon.They have had every excuse to turn belly-up during the year but have been exemplary in their effort.Youve seen what happened today, the boys didnt give up even when they got a run of tries early in the piece, Arthur said.We just didnt give up and fought right til the end. We might have got lucky there with two minutes to go, we tap that ball back and we could have scored under the posts and it could have been great for us.Were proud of this playing group and they just need to keep fronting up for themselves. At the moment weve got a lot of fans and we just want to keep fronting up for our fans.Meanwhile, Newcastle put in a valiant effort but were overcome 20-16 by title contenders Melbourne at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.A try to Jake Mamo three minutes from fulltime set up a grandstand finish but a double to Marika Koroibete proved the difference.Brisbane showed they werent a spent force when they thumped South Sydney 30-10 on Saturday night.Corey Oates crossed for a double while fullback Darius Boyd was outstanding as the Rabbitohs slumped to their sixth straight loss.Manly kept their slim finals hopes alive when Daly Cherry-Evans booted a golden point field goal to fire his side to a 15-14 win over the Warriors in Perth.On Friday night the Gold Coast jumped into the top eight over the top of St George Illawarra with a 32-12 win which heaped pressure on Dragons coach Paul McGregor.Tanner Rainey Jersey .

Meanwhile, the Giants announced before traveling to London that Brown wouldnt make the trip for a game Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.The Giants said they want to review the new information released by King County law enforcement officials in Washington and reach a decision on the kickers future with the club, possibly next week.Giants co-owner John Mara said he was upset the new information about Browns history of domestic abuse, adding that he felt it was in the best interest of the team to leave him home.I want to get all the information we can get, Mara said in a radio interview with WFAN. I am certainly disturbed by what we read. He has admitted to us that he abused his wife in the past. I think what is a little unclear is the extent of that, but what we have read about is obviously disturbing.Browns former wife, Molly, alleged more than 20 instances of domestic violence. In a report released by the King County Sheriffs Office that summarized the allegations, Detective Robin Ostrom said the allegations included that he had slammed her into a large bedroom mirror, breaking it; that he had shoved a chair into her leg, bruising it; and that he damaged a bathroom door when he lost his temper with her older son.The report also detailed how the wife anguished over whether to move forward with a prosecution, given the effect it could have on her family.Mara said that the 37-year-old kicker has been undergoing counseling for years, and that the journals were part of his therapy. Mara said the team didnt have access to the latest information when it decided to keep Brown on the roster after the league announced his suspension in late August.The Giants reached an agreement with former Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould late Thursday, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday night. Gould, the Bears career scoring leader, will join the team in London.Brown practiced Thursday but was not in the locker room afterward.Brown was suspended for the opening game of the season by the league for violating its personal conduct policy. The ruling came after the league investigated his arrest.During that investigation, the league said that its investigators made repeated verbal and written attemmpts to obtain any and all evidence and relevant information from the sheriffs office, but were denied.dddddddddddd.The sheriffs office released the journals and emails late Wednesday to several news organizations.The league said law enforcements response limited its investigation.We concluded our own investigation, more than a year after the initial incident, based on the facts and evidence available to us at the time and after making exhaustive attempts to obtain information in a timely fashion, the league said. It is unfortunate that we did not have the benefit or knowledge of these materials at the time.League officials said they would not comment on potential discipline until it reviews the new information.County prosecutors said in their report to police that they would not have been able to put forth a viable case without key testimony from Browns former wife and other key witnesses, including her relatives and friends.I have physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man, Brown wrote in one journal entry. I have abused my wife.The journal was part of was part of 165 pages of documents that were turned over to authorities by Browns former wife.One of the documents dated more than two years before Browns arrest was called a Contract for Change and appeared to be signed by both the kicker and his former wife.I have controlled her by making her feel less human than me, and manipulated her with money, said one of the eight items in the list. I have disregarded my stepsons feelings and they have witnessed me abusing their mother.In a 2013 email, Brown said he caused his wife to fear him.From the bruise on your leg when we argued ... to the zipper that caught you last April. I am ashamed and disgraced to call myself a husband, Brown said.Browns teammates said they found it tough to talk about the news before the team announced that he would not be traveling with them.I just want him to get himself right and make sure that he is able to overcome these things, receiver Victor Cruz said.Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie said that Brown is one of the leaders of the teams Bible studies group.Its kind of hurtful, but I am here for him, because he helped me grow a lot, being a man off the field, Rodgers-Cromartie said. I learned a lot from him. For what he is going through, I hurt for him.Brown is one of the top kickers in the NFL. He scored a career-high 134 points last season. He has made 11 of 12 field goal attempts this season and all eight extra points.---Associated Press writer Gene Johnson in Seattle contributed to this report.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
