Cronullas late-season slump has continued with a 12-6 loss to a Cody Walker-inspired South Sydney at ANZ Stadium.Walker starred for the Rabbitohs on Monday night alongside Sam Burgess and Nathan Brown as they handed the Sharks their third successive loss, and made their winning streak of 15 a distant memory.Missing captain Paul Gallen to a calf injury, the Sharks looked sluggish for much of the contest on a cold and wet night.In the absence of Adam Reynolds, who left the field with a concussion in the 26th minute, Walker led the Rabbitohs with aplomb and scored one of their two tries.An 80th-minute try by Joe Burgess sealed the Rabbitohs seventh win of the season, with the winger and Brown leading the way for the home side up front.James Maloney and Wade Graham tried hard to spark the Sharks in the second half, but the visitors lacked execution and composure as they pressed for a come-from-behind win.The duo combined for Cronullas only try in the 53rd minute. Souths five-eighth Walker scored the only try of the first half when he dashed under the posts from close range in the 33rd minute.A Damien Cook penalty after the halftime siren gave Souths an 8-0 lead at the break.Before only 7,588 fans - showing why this is the second-last Monday night game ever - the arm wrestle continued for much of the bruising second half.Cronulla sit in second place after 24 rounds, a point above third-placed Canberra and need to win their final games against Sydney Roosters and Melbourne to confirm a top-two finish.Maloney could be in judiciary trouble for two high tackles late in the game.The Sharks winning streak ended in July with a draw against Gold Coast.Coach Shane Flanagan said the Sharks still had time to rediscover their form before the start of the finals.The boys tried hard and defended well, he said.If the effort stays there we can turn this around. When we get to the semi-finals and we get Gal back and we get Sosaia Feki back all this will be forgotten.We just need to get a couple of wins on the way home. We are trying hard but it is just not happening for us.That (slump) period is now. If the effort wasnt there I would be worried. But Im not.The Rabbitohs have enjoyed a late-season resurgence after their finals hopes were dashed.Coach Michael Maguire could only wonder what could have been after an eight-match losing streak sank the Rabbitohs premiership hopes.I am really pleased for the players, we showed that character we have been looking for, for some time. The motivation was really there, he said.?It is unfortunate we put ourselves in the situation we are.There are all sorts of different reason for that but the last last three weeks the boys have shown what they are capable of.Cronulla had a lot to play for and they threw a lot at us.Air Max 270 Off White For Sale .

To the surprise of many, it isnt the Wolverines but their in-state rivals the Michigan State Spartans.Northampton expect George North to be cleared by specialists to return to action in Fridays Aviva Premiership clash with Sale Sharks.Wales wing North has been stood down since appearing to lie motionless following a dangerous tackle from Adam Thompstone in Saints 19-11 defeat to Leicester on Dec. 3.A Concussion Management Review Group (CMRG), drawn up to investigate the handling of Norths potential head injury, is now expected to reveal its findings Wednesday.Northampton rugby director Jim Mallinder remains confident, however, that North will be free to face Sale at Franklins Gardens on Friday.Hes back in training and he should be available to play against Sale, said Mallinder.As I said hes been training [on Tuesday], hes had a bit of time off and hes feeling really good about himself, hes looking really sharp out there and hes looking forward to playing.George is actually going back to the specialists, just to check again that everythings okay. Im not making decisions on whether he plays or not, thats out of my hands.Thats down to the trained professionals to make the right judgements. And surely theres no better people to make those correct decisions.North was allowed to return to action after his heavy fall against Leicester, with Northampton since admitting the 24-year-old could have suffered a head injury despite him passing pitch-side checks.The concussion management panel that should release its findings on Wednesday has comprised of the RFU professional rugby director Nigel Melville, Premiership Rugbys rugby director Phil Winstanley and independent chairman Dr Julian Morris.The first-ever such panel that was convened on Dec. 5 will have now taken 16 days to finalise its conclusions should those be released Wednesday.North had a six-month spell out of the game in 2015 after a cllutch of high-profile head injuries.dddddddddddd Now though, Mallinder believes the British and Irish Lions star is back in rude health.Its something that happened a few weeks ago, and thankfully George is fine, said Mallinder. Physically hes been fine since the incident.So were just waiting to hear from the report, and then well make our comment after that. I dont want to comment on the investigation any more, I spoke at length last week.Whats important now is that it comes out and we can comment on it then. Weve said it right from the beginning: player welfare is the most important thing.If theres any doubts the medics will come and talk to me and we will stand players down. So player welfare is number one.Northampton will head into Fridays league clash with Sale fresh from the humiliating 60-13 European Champions Cup defeat to Leinster in Dublin.The Saints rotated their resources for the Aviva Stadium rout, leading to criticism of that selection.Tournament organisers European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR) could yet launch an investigation to determine whether Saints fielded a strong enough XV.EPCR reviews all selections as a matter of course, and is yet to determine whether to launch any investigation into Northampton.We stick by our decision, in that weve got a squad we register at the beginning of the season that we think are good enough to play in Europe, said Mallinder.And we played that squad. We did register one extra player, young James Fish who came in for Dylan Hartley, for obvious reasons.So thats what we decided to do, and hopefully the experience and freshness gained from them playing last week, hopefully that will benefit us down the line.
