Trent Robinsons tactical masterclass, Mitch Garbutts punch and the future of the World Club Series feature in this weeks Set of Six. Persist with the World Club SeriesAfter two years of the World Club Series the NRL are 6-0 up. Once again they came to England and gave our Super League clubs a lesson in clinical finishing.The average winning margin across all three games was 30 points. Ryan Hall says that the scores were not a true reflection on Super League and Sky Sports pundit Stevo says that the key to getting up to the level of the NRL is investing in youth development. Stevo has called for English rugby league to go back to basics and focus on youth development Despite the one-sided scorelines, Brian Carney believes the World Club Series has a strong future and says the harsh lessons learnt by Super League sides will benefit them in the long run.We have progressive clubs in Super League and these games will provide an annual barometer of sorts for them, said Carney.Fans in this country were treated to current and future superstars of the world game performing in Super League stadia and on Sky Sports. Highlights of North Queensland Cowboys dominant victory over Leeds I would of course like more even contests but the chance to see Johnathan Thurston in the flesh would have motivated many in the nearly 20,000 crowd at Headingley to brave the elements and commit financially to the game.The SL players will be better for this. You often hear that line trotted out after defeat but it is more a truism than a cliche. Salford see of Widnes Highlights of the Red Devils 28-20 victory at the AJ Bell Stadium They will have been embarrassed by the scorelines in all cases, and by individual performances in most cases, but if they have any competitive streak and professional pride in them, and I believe most do, then those three hard lessons will motivate them.Motivate them to do everything they can to use their limited time in this privileged career to get closer to the standards the NRL clubs displayed.Fine details Trent Robinson joins Jon Wells to analyse the Roosters victory over St Helens Watching some of the NRL tries was impressive but Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinsons interview with Jon Wells at the Sky Pad after his sides 38-12 win over St Helens was a real eye opener.Robinson gave us a masterclass on the work done off the ball and in support. Robinson talks a lot about vision and movement and how minor adjustments can have a huge impact. Well worth a watch!Garbutt sees red Mitch Garbutt was dismissed for this hefty punch on James Tamou Mitch Garbutt became only the second player to be sent off in a World Club Challenge - Ron Gibbs (Manly) was the first in 1987 against Wigan - after the Leeds prop punched Cowboys front rower James Tamou in the Rhinos 38-4 defeat to North Queensland Cowboys.Tamou and Keith Galloway were having a bit of a set-to after some extras at the tackle but there was no need for Garbutt to come in swinging.There was some provocation and he was defending his team-mate but it was a silly thing to do from him and it was unlike him, said Leeds coach Brian McDermott.Brothers in arms Kodi Nikorima scores one of his two tries against Wigan Jayden Nikorima was absolutely superb for the Roosters on Friday. He went off early for a concussion check but came back with all cylinders firing and had a hand in five of Sydneys tries.The 19-year-olds quick thinking and pure speed created a wonderful try for Shaun Kenny-Dowall.Hes a good player, said his coach Trent Robinson. I understate him as much as I can - Id say he has had a good start to an NRL career. Brisbane produced another clinical NRL performance to beat Wigan at the DW Stadium On Saturday we then saw older brother Kodi bag a brace of tries as the Broncos beat Wigan 42-12 at the DW Stadium.Kodi has already been capped for New Zealand but Jayden has set his heart on playing for Australia. With skills like that it wont be long before we see him in action on the international stage.Bennett the right man for the job Wayne Bennett says he is up for the challenge of being England head coach After watching the Super League teams being demolished by the NRL perhaps its time for those critics to admit that Aussie Wayne Bennett is the right man to take the England team forward.Bennetts Broncos were mightily impressive in their win against Wigan.Everyone is talking about the next level [England] can go to and thats why Im here, he said.I believe I can help them get to that next level. Thats my challenge and thats the players challenge.Greatest player in the world Johnathan Thurston joins Jon Wells at the Sky Pad to analyse North Queenslands win over Leeds Johnathan Thurston underlined his credentials as the best player in the world with a man-of-the-match performance against Leeds.The Rhinos thought they had a chance as they went into the break level at 4-4. Thurston had other ideas. He upped the gears and showed his skills by creating three tries and scoring the Cowboys fifth as they cantered to victory.Thurston also kicked five goals and gave his kicking tee away to a kid in the crowd on each occasion. With the pile of tees getting smaller and smaller, you could excuse the Cowboys kitman for getting a bit worried!

"Theyve both been real good," said Babcock. "Havent changed our minds."

Kozun faked to the forehand and beat Monsters starter, Calvin Pickard, pad side in the second round for the winner. Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4). KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Alex Smith huddled with Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy in front of his locker, not more than 15 minutes after Kansas City had beaten the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.If they were already dissecting his performance, they werent going to find many faults.Smith threw two touchdown passes in another calm, efficient outing, and Daniel Sorensen returned an interception of Drew Brees for another score as the Chiefs held on for a 27-21 victory.Everybody trusts Alex, man. Alex is a pro, said Tyreek Hill, who made an acrobatic 38-yard TD catch to help the Chiefs (4-2) win their ninth consecutive home game. Hes good. Hes the truth.Smith was helped by another big game from Spencer Ware, the one-time fill-in for Jamaal Charles whos become a star. He had 77 yards rushing to go with a 46-yard TD catch.He runs with a lot of physicality and determination, but a lot of agility, Smith said. Hes a good mix and I think you just see a guy who has great vision.Brees tried to rally the Saints (2-4) once again, pulling them within 24-21 on a touchdown pass to Brandon Coleman with 2:33 left. But the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds, Kansas City added a field goal and the Saints could do nothing in the final 28 seconds to change the outcome.Brees finished with 367 yards and three TD passes, and became the first player with 100 games with at least 300 yards passing. But much of that offense came while he was trying to rally his team. It was another uneven performance away from the Superdome for the New Orleans quarterback, who was coming off a 465-yard game last week against Carolina.Listen, weve set the bar pretty high at home, havent we? We cant expect 500 yards on the road, he said. Its what home-field advantage is, right? We can definitely execute better though.Meanwhile, the Chiefs showed some moxie after falling into an early 7-0 hole.Wares touchdown on a screen pass and Sorensens pick-six off a batted ball quickly turned the momentum, and Hill added his long touchdown reception to make it 21-7 at the break.The Saints drew within a touchdown on Mark Ingrams catch midway through the third quarter, but the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner fuumbled inside the Kansas City 10 with 8:26 left in the game.ddddddddddddThats just everybody flying to the ball, said the Chiefs Marcus Peters, who recovered it.The fumble with the Chiefs leading 24-14 proved to be pivotal. New Orleans got the ball back and eventually scored, but the extra time it took may have cost them a chance to win the game.You play a good team on the road, penalties and turnovers, they can really do you in, Saints coach Sean Payton said. Interception return for a touchdown on third-and-long, fumble in the red zone and were not a good enough team to overcome some of those mistakes.LOTS OF LAUNDRYThe Saints struggled with the crowd noise in Arrowhead Stadium, getting flagged for four false starts and a delay of game. They also got hit with two unnecessary roughness penalties, including one with just over two minutes left that kept them from getting the ball back. With a veteran quarterback like that, you dont really expect it, Chiefs safety Eric Berry said.BETTER DEFENSEThe Saints defense voluntarily skipped their day off Monday to review video, and it seemed to pay off. One of the leagues worst defenses held Kansas City to just 326 yards of total offense.REID ROLLS 300The Chiefs Andy Reid coached his 300th game Sunday. Most of those were over his 14 seasons in Philadelphia, where he was 140-102-1. He is now 36-21 in his fourth season in Kansas City.INJURY REPORTSaints: LB Dannell Ellerbe (quad), LB Stephone Anthony (hamstring) and CB Delvin Breaux (broken leg) left New Orleans without three defensive starters, while starting LG Andrus Peat (groin) was also out. Backup LG Senio Kelemete later left with a stinger, forcing Tim Lelito into the lineup.Chiefs: Starting CB Phillip Gaines (knee) was inactive, while Charles (knee swelling) was active in a limited role . He had just one carry early in the game. Things were going OK so I just let him ride there, Reid said. Im trying to be as careful as I can with him in my ear wanting to play.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
