More NRL games will be played in regional locations as a sweetener for the leagues decision to scrap the annual NSW City-Country Origin clash.The NRL on Monday confirmed the 88-year-old fixture will be scrapped after the 2017 edition in Mudgee.While it is disappointing that we cannot fit this game into the schedule post-2017, we are determined to take more rugby league to regional NSW and other communities throughout the country, NRL head of football Brian Canavan said on Monday.In the draw we will be releasing shortly, there will be a host of games played throughout the country and that is a trend which will continue.More than 8000 fans turned out in Tamworth in May this year as City won in an 44-30 upset, with the traditional fixture also selling out grounds in Wagga Wagga and Dubbo in recent years.But the pre-State of Origin clash was no longer viewed as a genuine trial for NSW spots, even with 2016 Blues debutants Tyson Frizell (Country), Jack Bird (Country) and Josh Mansour (City) running out this year.Country NSW has produced some of the finest players to wear the green and gold and we will pay tribute to them during this final match, Country Rugby League boss Terry Quinn said.Players like Mick Cronin, Blocker Roach, Boyd Cordner, Tyson Frizell and so many others learnt their craft in country areas and went on to become greats in our game.The 2017 City-Country clash will be played at Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium on May 7.

NEW YORK -- New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey had a stellar return from Tommy John surgery in 2015, finishing with a 2.71 ERA, which ranked sixth in the National League.Now, Harvey is entering his first season back from another serious procedure. Harvey underwent season-ending surgery on July 18 in St. Louis to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome. The procedure involved removing a rib so that muscles constricting a nerve that bridges the neck and shoulder had space to relax.Already noticing improvement, including a restoration of feeling to his pitching hand, Harvey hopes he can once again excel in 2017.Id like to think so. Obviously I dont have a crystal ball, he said Wednesday while making an appearance at Target in College Point, Queens, as part of a Mets-sponsored holiday shopping spree for 14 New York City-area children. The way things are feeling now, the way the body feels, Im feeling great.Agent Scott Boras has suggested the nerve compression affected Harvey for much of the season by reducing the feeling in the fingers on his pitching hand. That could explain Harveys uncharacteristic 4-10 record and 4.86 ERA in 17 starts in 2016 before the shutdown. An alternative explanation for the swoon had been that Harveys record-setting workload coming back from the Tommy John surgery the previous season took a toll.Including the postseason, Harvey logged 216 innings in 2015 -- the most in MLB history in a first season back after Tommy John surgery.Harvey said any numbness in his right hand is gone.My hand was really cold all the time, he said. Ive got some warmth back and no more tinggling.dddddddddddd The ball is coming out really good right now, especially for December.Harvey will be one of five Mets starting pitchers working back from surgeries next season.Right-hander Jacob deGrom had surgery in September to reposition the ulnar nerve in his pitching elbow. Steven Matz, sidelined late in the season by a left shoulder impingement that irritated the rotator cuff, had surgery in October to remove a massive bone spur from his pitching elbow. Right-hander Robert Gsellman required offseason surgery to repair a labrum tear in his non-pitching shoulder. And right-hander Zack Wheeler still has not returned from Tommy John surgery performed in March 2015.Harvey resumed regular baseball workouts, including throwing on flat ground, a month ago. He is now up to long-tossing at 120 feet. He will return in January to work out at his agents facility in Newport Beach, California. Harvey plans to arrive at the Mets spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida, a week before the official Feb. 12 report date for pitchers and catchers -- right after the Super Bowl.Im feeling great, Harvey said. My workouts are going well. Im just looking forward to getting down to spring training and having a good time. ... Obviously being healthy through spring training and getting to the season and continuing to be healthy through the season is a big plus for me and something Im looking forward to doing.As far as the offseason goes, Im right where I want to be.
