Robbie Farahs chances of reclaiming a spot in West Tigers NRL team this week suffered a blow when he missed Wednesdays training with a calf injury. Adidas Nick Bonino Jersey .The out-of-favour hooker, who was named in NSW Cup for the second week in a row on Tuesday, was a noticeable absentee from the clubs extended session but is expected to be available.I spoke to him this morning. Hes in high spirits and hes looking forward to playing this weekend. Thats as far as I know, said teammate Jordan Rankin after training.Rankin was Farahs surprise replacement as back-up hooker in the Tigers last-start NRL win over St George Illawarra, spelling starting hooker Dene Halatau with a 20-minute cameo.A fullback or winger by trade, Rankin said his instructions from coach Jason Taylor were clear.Obviously its a new thing thrust upon me last weekend during the game, he said.It was just do whatever the halves wanted, and I just gave it to them.Its pretty plain and simple for me.Rankin said he didnt know about his new role until during the game.It was always a matter of how Dene was going to handle playing the full 80 minutes, knowing we didnt have a hooker on the bench and (prop) Joel Edwards playing as well, he said.There was a stage there where it just happened that I had to come out and fill the role for a bit so (Halatau) could get a breather.Getting the win, I thought it was not bad.Rankin, 24, also weighed into the Taylor-Farah saga, hitting out at critics of the former club captain for claiming he wasnt giving the teams young halves enough opportunities in attack.The stories about Robbie not giving them enough ball, to me it seems like a beat-up, he said.Theres no reason why Robbie cant come back and play for us this year, and theres no reason why those boys cant dominate with him there.Back-up centre Chance Peni failed to finish the session after collapsing with what seemed like a serious knee injury.

Cuban testified Thursday that he was upset when the companys CEO told him news that would reduce the value of his shares, for which hed paid $7.5 million. But he said he did nothing improper when he sold those shares over the next two days. http://www.adidaspenguinsjerseys.com/ .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Australia are considering a triad of spinners for next years tour to India as a result of a Sri Lankan humiliation the coach Darren Lehmann dubbed reasonably embarrassing for the national side.Sifting through the rubble of a campaign that resulted in a third consecutive series whitewash for the Australian side in Asia, Lehmann admitted it was going to be extremely difficult to improve in Asian conditions between now and the 2017 trip for four Tests in India, given the intervening months will be taken up by the home summer.However he declared that the team taken to India would likely be a radical departure from recent trips away, when the selectors have deemed two spinners sufficient slow-bowling cover. During this tour, even the second seamer Josh Hazlewood has at times looked redundant, with Nathan Lyon often sharing the new ball with Mitchell Starc.This means the likes of Adam Zampa, Fawad Ahmed, Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson will come into calculations for next years India tour in addition to Lyon, Steve OKeefe and Jon Holland.The difference is weve got to change in the subcontinent. Results will say that with India, UAE and now Sri Lanka, Lehmann said. Weve got to change the way we pick and shape up the squad for a subcontinent [tour]. We have to look at all different angles I suppose. The shape-up of the side, whether you need one quick, two quicks, three quicks, allrounders, and see how we play.It certainly hasnt worked the way weve played. We think weve had the right balance but our batters havent made enough runs. Its pretty simple. When you look at [Sheffield] Shield cricket, its very hard to determine whos going to be a good player of spin and not on Australian wickets. So for us somehow weve got to find a way.Amid other conclusions from the tour, which took Australia to nine consecutive Test match defeats in Asia, despite a raft of investments in better performances in the region, Lehmann:- stated pitches for the IPL, where most of the Australian squad has spent time, did not provide relevant experience for Asian Test matches.- reiterated his call for the toss to be jettisoned from Test matches, with the away side being given the choice of whether to bat or bowl first.- argued thatt Test pitches have become more extreme for visiting teams since Australias most recent era of Asian successes from 1998 to 2006, with the ball turning sharply from day one. Adidas Daniel Sprong Jersey. Lehmann did however concede the SSC pitch for the third Test was the best of the series.- said he would examine his own methods, including how he dealt with the team in times of defeat.You always do that anyway, Lehmann said. Were obviously reviewing every day and at the end of the game. Thats a process you always do regardless of the result, whether you win or lose. It is only a game, but still, that hurts. We should be reasonably embarrassed by our performance in this series and thats OK. Theres nothing wrong with that. Its not hiding the fact we didnt play well enough and weve got to improve. Thats a simple fact. The guys will take that back and actually try to improve. And theyve got to improve, simple.Lehmann had previously stated that any players dropped for poor displays in Sri Lanka would not have that held against them for the home summer. However a hundred by Shaun Marsh at the SSC has complicated matters for Usman Khawaja, Joe Burns and even Adam Voges.Adam has been fantastic for us since he has come in, Lehmann said. You always have those issues when youre an older player. Hes got to make every post a winner. We just have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of months. Well just pick the best side we think is going to win in Perth against a quality side like South Africa, whatever that may be and whatever the pitch delivers. Well pick it appropriately like we normally do.Having added Travis Head to the squad for the five ODIs and two Twenty20 matches that now roll on through Sri Lanka, Lehmann said the allrounder Mitchell Marsh would be flying home early to rest before the home summer. His role in the side will likely be taken by Moises Henriques. Its a big summer ahead for him, Lehmann said of Marsh. Weve obviously got some quality allrounders in our one-day squad anyway, so we get a chance to freshen him up and ready to go for South Africa and moving forward. ' ' '
