Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan fears the coming NRL finals could be overshadowed by a concerning amount of contentious decisions coming out of the bunker.His concerns come after review official Bernard Sutton controversially overruled the on-field decision to deny Blake Austin a try in the Sharks loss to Canberra on Saturday night.With the Raiders leading 22-8, referee Ashley Klein ruled Austin had committed a double movement in an attempt to score in the 59th minute.However, Sutton awarded a try on review, saying Sharks defenders had contributed to the Raiders five-eighth being pushed over the line.It was a strikingly similar incident to the one that robbed Brisbane forward Herman Eseese of his maiden NRL try in last weeks loss to the Sydney Roosters.By no means were we going to win tonight whether that was a try or not a try, Ill put that one out there first, Flanagan said.But he was tackled and then he makes another movement towards the tryline. Weve had this debate in the Broncos game. Theres so many of them. I just dont know any more. Its a lottery.Flanagan said he wasnt the only coach who had been left dismayed by rule interpretations from the bunker.I think all coaches are (confused), not just me. Im not having a whinge about it because we lost. They were always going to win, the Raiders, tonight.But generally going into the finals series, there are still a lot of question marks about adjudication and application of the rules.Flanagan said he was unsure whether the bunker, introduced this year, had improved the number of correct decisions this season.Wed like to think wed get more right than wrong but I dont know if that is the case at the moment, he said.We want to be talking about good games and (how) the better team deserved to win like they did tonight, when those big games come around, not refereeing decisions.

Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks.

BEREA, Ohio -- Humbled, grateful and determined to make up for lost time and to those who stood by him, Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon stood on an NFL practice field and finally felt peace.Surrounded by teammates eager to start a new season, Gordon was home.This is where he belongs.Recently reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell following a lengthy drug suspension, Gordon said hes been changed by his experience over the past two years. Hes grown up, learned from his mistakes and is ready to be productive again.I definitely think Im a different person, he said. If you havent changed over a period of time, its definitely a bad thing. I think me standing here is a testament to that.Gordon, who has been suspended for 27 of Clevelands 32 games over the past two seasons and suspended four times in his pro career, believes he can now stay on a straight path. The 25-year-old would not confirm if hes been in rehab, but Gordon acknowledged taking the necessary steps to get his life in order.During his 12-minute interview with media members, Gordon offered no excuses and didnt make any promises. He acknowledged prior mistakes and admitted to not listening to others.In the past Ive been a selfish player, Ill definitely admit that, he said. I wanted to do things my way. As a young man thats just kind of how you see it, you dont really want to make time to do other things. But things turn around, people change, its possible to change. It takes people some learning, but eventually you get to that point and I think I have.The Browns are counting on it, and they intend to hold Gordon accountable for his actions.After Goodell cleared his return, Gordon met with Cleveland coach Hue Jackson and vice president of football operations Sashi Brown, who laid out their expectations for the former Pro Bowler.As he did during a meeting earlier this month with Goodell in New York, Gordon made a strong impression on the Browns, who are convinced hes ready to turn his life around.For us its about Josh wanting to make a change, and having the opportunity, Brown said. Weve got 90 guys on the roster right now and hes one of those young men that has an opportunity. Well find out very quickly if hes serious about it. We believe that he is. Well hold him accountable. Hes going have to hold himself accountable.Frankly, lets be honest, theres nothing were going to be able to do to force Josh to change. The change is going to be within and we will support him through that.Jackson said Gordons future rests in his own hands.We understand that the league has expectations for himm, and we do, too, Jackson said.dddddddddddd We shared those with him, and I truly believe that he wants to make it right, as well. His slates clean with me. I dont have a lot of history with Josh that way, but his history is preceding him. He knows that. I think the only way to deal with a player in these situations is to kind of hit the restart button for him and he has to go do it.On the eve of what they hope will be an uneventful training camp, the Browns also addressed the controversy involving running back Isaiah Crowell.Crowell has been heavily and criticized since posting a gruesome illustration on social media of a police officer being stabbed following the shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota. He issued two apologies, one on video, and Crowell recently attended the funeral of one of the five policemen killed during an ambush at a protest in Dallas.Also, Crowell pledged to donate his first game check next season (about $35,000) to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation.The Browns have been satisfied with Crowells actions and feel his remorse is genuine.I truly believe he will continue to work at making this right, Jackson said. Its going to be an opportunity for us to really teach our team. Its unfortunate its that kind of lesson to learn, but sometimes thats what it is. But moreso than that, I truly believe its not who Isaiah Crowell is and I hope everybody just gives him an opportunity to prove that as we move forward.Crowell again expressed regret for my mistake.Its my fault, he said. I man up and apologize to everyone. Im sorry to my fans and the whole Browns organization. Ill do my best to show everyone thats not who I am.Game notes Jackson plans to name his starting quarterback for the season before the Aug. 12 exhibition opener against Green Bay.
