Veteran Cronulla hooker Michael Ennis has announced his retirement from the National Rugby League at a media conference on Tuesday.The 32-year-old made his NRL debut at Newcastle in 2003 and after 14 seasons has decided to call an end to his career as he looks to spend more time with his family.Ive got a beautiful wife and four children sitting there, Ennis said on Tuesday.And to have to say, No, I cant take you to the park, dads got to stay home and ice his leg, or, Dad cant go there today - Ive got training tomorrow, it got to a certain point where I need to make a decision around that and its time to be a dad.Ennis admitted he had first considered giving up the game in May but only settled on the resolution with his wife Simone over the past month.It was a bit of a novelty because Ive got the four children and to know that that security was there financially was something that made me sleep easy, he said.But when I got home with my wife Simone and the thought of actually playing next year and bring that to a realisation, I realised I couldnt do that.Simone knows my character and knows my traits and knows when Im saying things when I just need a kick up the butt and told to keep going.But this was the right time and she knew that. I think with how comfortable I am about the decision certainly makes it feel like its the right decision for our family as well.Ennis was expected to extend his deal at the Sharks a further year but after deliberating over the decision for almost two months he has opted to retire at the end of the 2016 season.Ennis has currently made 264 NRL appearances with Newcastle, St George-Illawarra, Brisbane, Canterbury and Cronulla.

WASHINGTON -- There are plenty of reasons why the Cincinnati Reds have lost eight of nine and are in last place, 22 games under .500.At the top of the list: Ineffective starting pitching.Brandon Finnegan was the latest culprit, allowing eight runs in an abbreviated performance that sent Cincinnati on its way to a 13-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.Finnegan (3-7) gave up five hits, five walks and two home runs in 2 1/3 innings. He had never yielded more runs, or gotten fewer outs, in any of his previous major league starts.You all saw the game. Not much to say about it, Finnegan said. It was definitely my worst outing of the year -- of my life, honestly. Just have to get ready for my next start.Thats the mantra of a starting rotation that has put tremendous pressure on an overworked bullpen. Although Michael Lorenzen provided three innings of shutout relief, manager Bryan Price was anything but elated.A large part of our ability to win is going to come down to what were able to do with our starting pitching and the ability to shrink the length of game thats being pitched by our bullpen, Price said. We saw Lorenzen tonight, very good, three huge innings for us in what was getting out of hand, but unfortunately that means we dont have Lorenzen (next game).Joey Votto homered for Cincinnati, which has yielded 40 runs in its last four games -- all of them defeats.Danny Espinosas second career slam put Washington up 8-1 in the third inning, and he added a three-run homer in the fourth to make it 13-1. Espinosa ranks second on the team with 15 homers despite usually batting eighth.The switch-hitter connected off Finnegan batting right-handed, then went deep from the left side against Josh Smith. He is the first Nationals player ever to homer from both sides of the plate, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.Gio Gonzalez (4-7) gave up four runs and struck out nine ovver six innings for the NL East-leading Nationals, whose current five-game winning streak comes on the heels of a seven-game skid.dddddddddddd Gonzalez was 0-6 with an 8.44 ERA in his previous seven starts.Ryan Zimmerman got the rout started with a three-run homer in the first inning against the lowly Reds.Washington tied a season high for runs in a game without receiving a contribution from reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper, who was given the night off by manager Dusty Baker.His legs are a little tired, Baker said, noting that Harper twisted his ankle earlier in the week. Hes been playing through things the last couple days.HIT PARADEReds: It was the second time in seven games that Cincinnati lost by nine runs. The Reds have allowed at least 13 runs eight times this season.Nationals: During its five-game winning streak, Washington has outscored the opposition 36-12.TRAINERS ROOMReds: RHP Caleb Cotham (right shoulder inflammation) was scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Thursday night at Class-AA Pensacola against Chattanooga. Manager Bryan Price said the plan is to have Cotham pitch around five times in the minors, and then well reassess. Cotham has been on the DL since May 31. ... OF Billy Hamilton passed concussion protocol and was in the starting lineup after being struck in the face by a deflected line drive Wednesday.Nationals: RHP Stephen Strasburg (back, ribs) is eligible to return from the DL on Friday, but that almost certainly will not happen. Im more inclined not to rush him, Baker said.UP NEXTReds: RHP Anthony DeSclafani (2-0, 1.52 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season, bringing a 13-inning scoreless streak into Friday nights game against Washington.Nationals: RHP Tanner Roark (7-5, 2.96) is 3-1 with a 2.30 ERA over his last four starts.
