New coach Wayne Bennett wants his England players to have a break from Super League to take part in an international weekend in the southern hemisphere in 2017.Bennett, currently preparing for his first match in charge of the English national side against France on Saturday week, is already looking ahead to the 2017 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.He wants his players to be made available for a preseason training camp, followed by one-off game Down Under in mid-season.That will bring back haunting memories of Great Britains ill-fated trip to Sydney for a one-off match in 2002 which ended in a 64-10 humiliation, but the Rugby Football League has since met with limited success in their attempts to provide meaningful mid-season competition for the national team, dispensing with matches against France and the Exiles.Now Bennett wants to use the window in the NRL in May to add an England game to the ANZAC Test and the clashes of the Pacific nations in Sydney.In Australia we have a bye week during the year when Australia and New Zealand play each other, Bennett said. Teams like Samoa, Fiji and Papua New Guinea are all coming to be part of that week and playing each other too in that weekend.Theres an opportunity for England to come and be a part of that. Weve got a great opportunity where we can play more Test matches -- its not going to be perfect but we can play more international games.Bennett points to the fact that when England run out at Avignons Parc des Sports on Saturday week, it will be almost 11 months since their last appearance.His proposal, along with that of a preseason camp, will put him on a potential collision course with the players Super League employers, re-opening the club-versus-country debate and adding to the workload of the elite players amid fears of burnout.Bennett, who says he is happy to bring his Brisbane Broncos team over to England for the 2017 World Club Challenge in February, plays down those fears, insisting that the high workload is necessary to fund well-paid salaries.Players in the UK have played over 30 games yes, but over here youve got guys with at least 30, he said. Theres Origin, three playoff games and then pre-season and the Auckland Nines and things like that -- plus a Test match in the middle of the year.Some will have over 30 too, but everyone gets well paid today, dont forget. For that to happen youve got to have a product and its got to be competitive. You cant get paid that level of money and have a 16-round season, it just wouldnt happen.

ST. LOUIS -- There was no sugarcoating it. Defense, perhaps the St. Louis Cardinals biggest shortcoming all season, let them down again.Manager Mike Matheny cited the non-plays as much as the lone error that led to the tying run in a 7-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday night.Whenever we had one, it hurt us, Matheny said. Just one of those days I know just about every decision I went to didnt seem to work, and that doesnt help.The Cardinals came out of the All-Star break with a major league-leading 68 errors and reliever Kevin Siegrists wild pickoff throw trying to catch 42-year-old Ichiro Suzuki napping in the eighth inning was the 69th.Two other plays were just as costly.Matt Holliday, getting his sixth start at first base, couldnt handle a long hop on a potential double play ball in the fourth that led to a run. Center fielder Randal Grichuk came in and couldnt retreat in time to harness Marcell Ozunas double in the ninth that led to the winning run.I felt like I had a good bead on it and I kind of had it and it just kind of tilted away, Grichuk said.Matheny gave Holliday, a career left fielder before this season, the benefit of the doubt, for the missed play in the fourth.No matter how much work he gets, its tough to prepare for, he said. Hes going to get better the more time we get him out there, but there is going to be a learning curve.Suzuki had a pinch-single in the eighth for his 2,991st career hit and scored to tie it and Miguel Rojas drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth in the Marlins fourth straight victory.Tommy Pham had two of the Cardinals four homers and drove in four runs. Stephen Piscotty and Grichuk also connected for St. Louis, which hit two each off Wei-Yin Chen and reliever David Phelps.Its just tough to be on this side of the equation when you had a good night like I did, Pham said. Of his curtain call after a three-run shot in the fourth, he said, Its horrible now.ddddddddddddThe hit was the first since July 4 for the 42-year-old Suzuki. Hes had just seven pinch-hit appearances and one start this month with the Marlins, who have a steady outfield rotation of Christian Yelich, Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton.The Cardinals blew leads of 4-1 and 6-5 to fall to 19-27 at home, and are 27-16 record on the road. They were 55-26 at home last year, tied for best in the majors.Its incredible, I dont understand whats going on, Grichuk said. Weve got a great ballpark here, weve got a great fan base -- they bring it every night -- and its one of those things.Chen has surrendered 19 homers, among the league leaders. Phelps had given up just two in 46 innings but the bullpen rallied with Fernando Rodney (1-2) working a perfect eighth and A.J. Ramos earning his 28th save in 29 chances.Seung Hwan Oh (2-1), the Cardinals stand-in closer, lost on his 34th birthday.Suzuki singled off Siegrist with one out in the eighth and scored on Martin Prados two-out hit off Jonathan Broxton.TRAINERS ROOMCardinals: 1B-OF Brandon Moss (ankle) is eligible to come off the DL on Saturday but is still in a walking boot.UMPIRE DOWNThe umpiring crew worked a man short after plate ump Chad Fairchild took a foul off his right forearm in the bottom of the first. Jim Joyce went from first base to home.HAPPY BIRTHDAYLong-time Cardinals broadcaster Mike Shannon worked the booth on his 77th birthday.UP NEXTMarlins: Tom Koehler is 1-2 with a 7.56 ERA in three career starts against the Cardinals.Cardinals: Adam Wainwright (8-5, 4.49) is 50-28 with a 3.05 ERA for his career after the break.
