I think theres more attack in him.Green said Rea (5-4) lacked effective secondary pitches and was well off in location on homers by Matt Holliday (missed by a plate) and Jedd Gyorko (missed by half a plate). Green also said throwing a cutter to Yadier Molina wasnt great pitch selection.The 25-year-old right-hander, who last pitched on July 6, allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.I was pretty excited and I felt good warming up in the `pen and I was probably moving a little too fast out there, Rea said.

After play resumed, he retired 11 of his next 12 batters.With him wed like to get to a point where we can finish the at-bat and the at-bats dont drag on and on and on, Green said.

Cronulla captain Paul Gallen cant see Sharks teammate Valentine Holmes making it in the NFL and suspects his cross-code dalliance is a ploy to bump up his NRL value.Holmes and North Queenslands 2016 Dally M Medallist Jason Taumalolo will participate in NFL trials in Los Angeles.The pair flew to the US together from London on Monday after clashing in the Four Nations final between Australia and New Zealand.Both are committed to their NRL clubs in 2017 and the trials on Saturday are seen as little more than a chance to test their wares and impress NFL scouts with their athletic ability.Gallen isnt questioning Holmes talents, but doubts his premiership-winning Sharks teammate could make it after Jarryd Hayne struggled to fully convince the San Francisco 49ers that he could.Do I think Val can make it? At this stage no, Gallen said on Triple Ms Rush Hour.I dont know enough about that game but Vals upper body I dont think will be big enough to play that gaame.ddddddddddddHes certainly got big strong legs and hes an unbelievable athlete but I saw what Jarryd Hayne did over there.Jarryd Hayne went very well obviously but Haynsey is a much bigger man and much more athletic.I think if you give Val another couple of years to fill out and develop and grow as a man, then maybe he could go and do it, but at this stage I couldnt see him making it.Both Holmes and Taumalolo are believed to be deep into negotiations to remain with their NRL clubs beyond the end of the 2017 season.I think itll be a great opportunity for them but I cant help but think this is a bit of a ploy to say look these blokes have options, Gallen said of the trials midway through the NFL season.They both have the same manager and they are both going to be certainly in the top five players off contract next year.
