Tom Trbojevic is putting real heat on coach Trent Barrett to dump Brett Stewart from the Manly No.1 jersey as the club legend struggles for form and fitness.Deputising for Stewart at fullback, Trbojevic gave Barrett real food for thought as he guided the Sea Eagles to a drought-breaking 36-6 NRL win over St George Illawarra on Monday night.Trbojevic sparked his side in attack, setting up Jorge Taufuas first try with a sweetly-timed cut-out ball and saving another with some great cover defence up the other end.His five-star display led Parramatta legend Peter Sterling to declare that it was time for Barrett to bite the bullet and shift the 19-year-old into the custodian role.Stewart is being hindered by a niggling knee injury and Barrett admitted he was no certainty to return after the bye against Warriors.The 31-year-old is in the midst of a 10-game scoring drought - the longest of his career.The stats show Stewart has been a shadow of his former self, accumulating just one linebreak and six tackle busts this year according to Fox Sports Stats.Barrett said the two-time premiership winner would be afforded his allegiance but admitted that Trbojevic was making a compelling case.Brett by his own admission has been struggling with a little bit of injury, Barrett said.I would have played him tonight if he was fully fit. He is a legend of the club and when Snakes 100 per cent, he can do things on a football field that no one else can.I think he deserves for us to show him the respect that hes earned.I hope Snake can overcome the niggling knee injury hes got at the moment. When hes not there, weve got Tom and hes a terrific player of the future.Ill cross that bridge when it comes.Trbojevic was on Monday named as a development player for the NSW squad for State of Origin III and will join the team in camp at Coffs Harbour on Tuesday.And while hes been earmarked as a representative player of the future, he hosed down talk he was putting pressure on Stewart.I dont think so mate, Snakes our No.1, Trbojevic said.Hes been Manlys No.1 for 10 years, hes been one of the best players ever to play in the Manly No.1 jersey so Im certainly not pushing his spot.Patrick Willis 49ers Jersey . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making. George Kittle 49ers Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. http://www.thesf49ersshoponline.com/Youth-Tom-Rathman-49ers-Jersey/ . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. Terrell Owens Youth Jersey . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. Deebo Samuel Jersey . What general manager Dave Nonis called "short and productive" negotiations ended with Kessel signing a US$64-million, eight-year contract on Tuesday.NEW ORLEANS -- Denvers Justin Simmons used a perfectly timed leap over the offensive line to block an extra-point kick that would have given New Orleans a late lead, Will Parks ran it back 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion, and the Broncos pulled out a wild 25-23 victory over the Saints on Sunday.The decisive play came while the Superdome crowd was still celebrating Brandin Cooks twisting, 32-yard touchdown catch between two defenders. That put New Orleans in position to take the lead with 1:28 left. Simmons block of Wil Lutzs kick was scooped up by Parks, who nearly stepped out of bounds as he raced down the left sideline.It was the first such play to provide the winning points in an NFL game.The Broncos then recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock.Safety Darian Stewart intercepted Drew Brees twice and recovered a fumble for the Broncos (7-3), while Trevor Siemian overcame two interceptions by passing for touchdowns to Jordan Taylor and Demaryius Thomas. Siemian finished with 258 yards passing and completed other clutch throws as Denver converted 11 of 19 third downs.The Broncos league-leading pass defense got the best of its matchup with New Orleans top-rated passing offense, thanks in large part to turnovers -- three of which came on passes intended for Saints rookie sensation Michael Thomas. Thomas fumbled twice after catches, and one of Stewarts interceptions came on a pass Bradley Roby deflected out of Thomas grasp.Still, Brees managed to complete 21 of 29 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns, with the first two scoring passes going to Willie Snead.Brees final TD pass capped a six-play, 755-yard drive that began with 2:50 left and no timeouts.dddddddddddd. It put the Saints (4-5), who won four of their previous five games, in position to climb above .500 for the first time this season following an 0-3 start. It was not to be.MOMENTUM SHIFT: The Broncos controlled the first 29 minutes. Stewart intercepted Brees twice -- joining the currently injured Aqib Talib as the only Broncos with multiple interceptions in one game. The second turnover set up Brandon McManus 50-yard field goal, which gave the Broncos a 10-0 lead.Late in the second quarter, Denver was across midfield and looking for one more score when Sterling Moore anticipated Siemians short throw toward the left flat and intercepted it. Brees marched New Orleans 50 yards in less than 29 seconds, setting up Lutzs short field goal to make it 10-3 at halftime. It was the beginning of 17 straight Saints points.AGGRESSIVE FRONT: The Saints defense entered the game with 11 sacks through their first eight games, or 1 1/2 more than Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller had by himself. But New Orleans created more pressure up front and sacked Siemian six times. Rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, DT Nick Fairley, end Cameron Jordan, safety Kenny Vaccaro and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Craig Robertson all had sacks. Meanwhile, Denvers defense sacked Brees once to increase its season total to 29. Linebacker Shaq Barrett got the lone sack.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
