Ricky Stuart is adamant he has no expectations of David Taylor despite the Canberra coach conceding its likely the erratic footballers last shot at the NRL.Taylor begins another road to redemption when he turns up for day one of the Raiders pre-season next Monday and attempts to earn a new playing contract.Stuart played down the significance of Taylors pre-season deal with the club, putting the onus on the former State of Origin star to prove his worth over the summer before he is considered for a playing contract.I havent thrown any expectation out there with David. I dont know where thats going to end up. Thatll all come down to David, Stuart told reporters on Monday.Its a matter of how David wants to respond and how he handles the going when he gets here. Im sure hell be hungry and healthy to want to succeed because its probably his last crack.Its neither here nor there for me. Ive got a number of other players Ive got to worry about, we can hand the opportunity to players. Its then a matter of what they want to do with it.Regarded as one of the most feared forwards in the game when on-song, Taylor has struggled to string consistent football and fitness in stints at Brisbane, South Sydney and Gold Coast.His NRL career seemed over when he moved to Catalans in the Super League for the 2016 season - but he was subsequently released and will have a likely final shot against the elite in Australia.Meanwhile former St Helens utility Jordan Turner is also expected to meet his new teammates next Monday.With the first two days of the Raiders pre-season set aside for body testing, Stuart has offered players another two weeks off as a carrot if they can pass fitness tests.Not that he expects them to all take it.Personally I feel as though some players will come back and stay, Stuart said.Ive spoken to a few of the boys and theyre all interested in getting going again.The Raiders confirmed that their only trial of the pre-season will be against Newcastle at Seiffert Oval in Queanbeyan on February 18.Air Jordan 1 Sale Usa . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making.

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league.Lightning may not strike the same spot twice but bad fortune seems to be able to find South Africa several times, particularly on tours of Australia. There was a hand niggle to Kepler Wessels in the 1993-4 series and an elbow concern with Jacques Kallis in 2005-6, but neither of those had the ramifications of injuries suffered during their three most recent tours Down Under.2008-09On the morning of the first Test in Perth, Ashwell Prince was ruled out with a broken thumb, leaving South Africas middle order without one of its most level heads. Prince was struck by Makhaya Ntini in the nets the day before the game and underwent a morning fitness test but his discomfort in holding the bat meant JP Duminy had to debut.Duminy had not set the ODI stage alight and was considered technically deficient against the short ball and spin but stunned doubters with a gutsy half-century in the fourth innings to win the match. He topped up on that with 166 in Melbourne, to keep Prince out of the side and secure a first series win for South Africa in Australia.2012-13During fitness drills at the end of the first days play in Brisbane, JP Duminy slipped and ruptured an Achilles tendon, ruling him out of action for six months. Duminy was picked as an allrounder in the match after South Africa decided to field an all-pace attack so they were both a batsman and bowler short in the game, but with a rained-out second day, it did nnot matter much.ddddddddddddFaf du Plessis replaced Duminy for the second Test, blocked out an entire day, and scored a second-innings century on debut in a show of extreme stoicism to ensure the Adelaide Test was drawn and South Africa sucked the momentum out of Australia. They won the series in Perth.2016-17Forty-two minutes before lunch on the second day, Dale Steyn went down on his haunches in his follow-through and clutched his right shoulder in pain. He left the field with Australia 166 for 1, just 76 runs behind. Steyn had some history with that shoulder - he broke it late in 2015 - and missed three of the four Tests against England as a result. Even before the diagnosis was made, it seemed Steyn would not be back.Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj combined to bowl Australia out for 244, conceding a lead of only two. The three-man attack will have to do just as well a second time if South Africa are to take a series lead. It has not been decided who will replace Steyn in the squad - they already have two reserve quicks in Morne Morkel and Kyle Abbott - but whoever is called up could see this as their chance to establish themselves as Duminy and du Plessis did on previous tours. Steyn is likely to require surgery and could be out of the game for six months. ' ' '
