Brisbane is reportedly set to wrest the 2019 NRL grand final from Sydney in a long-awaited coup for Queensland rugby league fans.The move is dependent on a bid from the Queensland government, News Corp Australia reports, with the NRL in coming weeks to take in offers from prospective hosts for the first grand final outside Sydney.The league has previously indicated the door is open for Brisbane to host a grand final while ANZ Stadium at Homebush undergoes a $1.6 billion makeover and its expected two premiership deciders - 2019 and 2020 - will be sold to non-Sydney venues.ARLC chairman John Grant has previously expressed a desire to bring the grand final to Suncorp Stadium.But the NRL has agreed to give the NSW government rights to their October showpiece for 20 years once the upgrade is complete.Its believed Queensland will face competition from Perth, Auckland and Melbourne to secure the event.Last year, two Queensland-based teams, the Cowboys and Broncos, faced off in the NRL decider in Sydney.Wholesale Jerseys From China .

"Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said.SEATTLE -- When Budda Baker gets an opportunity to sit down and watch NFL games on Sundays, or when he takes the time to watch film of the pros he would like to emulate, it all looks very familiar.He sees the same techniques, the same coverages being played by the professionals that hes been taught since arriving at Washington.Exactly to a T. We run an NFL defense, Baker said. You see certain types of techniques that those guys are doing and you see techniques that we are doing.Of all the position groups for No. 4 Washington, possibly none possesses the depth and NFL potential of the Huskies secondary. Whether its Kevin King and Sidney Jones at cornerback, or any of the combination of Baker, Jojo McIntosh, Taylor Rapp or Ezekiel Turner at safety, Washingtons defensive backfield is filled with players with a possible NFL future.It helps that Washington defensive backs coach Jimmy Lake spent five seasons coaching defensive backs in the NFL. Rather than teaching his players a style that works just in college, Lake has thrown NFL concepts at his players and made them learn.Its definitely been a process because you only get limited time with these guys, Lake said. But weve been here for three years now and so weve gotten to the point where these guys have played a lot of football, they hear the same thing over and over and weve been able to put more on their plate now in Year 3. First year obviously we had to do a good job of holding back all the information, but now these guys have come a long way.Before the season began and Washington was still being touted as a potential surprise in the Pac-12, the strength of its defensive backfield was a reason so many were high on the Huskies. There were questions elsewhere but the secondary was one area where there werent really any concerns considering the Huskies had the best scoring defense and fourth-best pass defense in the conference in 2015.Washingtons secondary has lived up to its billing for the most part this season.dddddddddddd The Huskies go into Fridays Pac-12 championship game against No. 9 Colorado with the top scoring defense in the conference, the No. 2 total defense and the second-best pass defense, giving up just 201 yards per game through the air.Of course, its Colorado thats topping the Huskies in those other two categories.I think theyre similar (to Washingtons secondary). Across the board they have good safeties, long corners, they challenge you, pressure a lot. Its very similar, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. I think there are a lot of similarities there. Even in strategy and coverage and those types of things.Baker is the most recognizable of the group with his standing as one of the top safeties in the country and one of the most important recruits for Washington since Petersen arrived. But Jones and King may be the ones with the biggest NFL upside. King, a senior, is listed at 6-foot-3, while Jones, a junior, is listed at 6 feet. They both have shown the skills to play press man coverage and handle their responsibilities when the Huskies drop into a zone.The depth of Washingtons secondary was so impressive that Rapp -- a freshman who was a reserve early in the season before moving into a more prominent role -- was named Pac-12 defensive freshman of the year Tuesday as voted on by the coaches.I would define us as tough, very, very competitive. I dont think there is going to be too many easy throws out there, King said. (Were) just a team that is going to fight to the end. If you beat us one play youll have to beat us the next. Thats our mentality. I think (Colorado) has that same mentality, too, so Im pretty excited to see that matchup on both sides of the ball.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
