Unwanted playmaker James Maloney will look to savour the ultimate last laugh at the expense of his former club Sydney Roosters when he shapes up for his third grand final in six years on Sunday week.The NSW pivot has undoubtedly been one of the NRLs leading players for several years now.He played a key role in the Roosters 2013 premiership win and three minor premierships from 2013 to 2015.But he was controversially moved on by Tricolours management at the end of last season, with the club unsuccessfully opting for Jackson Hastings as Mitchell Pearces halves partner.Hastings didnt feature in the Roosters first grade side for the final third of the season as the Tricolours finished only ahead of Newcastle on the premiership ladder.After he was told he wasnt wanted at Bondi, Maloney quickly identified Cronulla as a club with a roster capable of emulating the success he had at the Roosters.And as things have turned out, the 30-year-old will help spearhead Cronullas quest for their maiden premiership at ANZ Stadium in Sunday weeks decider.As soon as I couldnt stay at the Roosters I wanted to come to Cronulla because I knew what they had here and I thought I could add something and its worked out really well so far, said Maloney on Saturday, having also played for the Warriors in their 2011 Grand Final loss to Manly.Ive been able to identify rosters (although) the Warriors one was not really my choice. Basically I didnt have a whole lot of options. I was there to get regular first grade.I went over there and we had a really successful year.Coming back to pick the Roosters and to come here and pick the Sharks, I knew what I was going into - I knew the roster they had, I knew the strengths they had in their side.The Sharks deserve their place in the decider after a year in which they set a new club record for most successive wins at 15 and finished third in the regular season after losing a final round minor premiership showdown with Melbourne.We can do it. It gives us a good platform to build on. Theres nothing stopping us, Maloney said.Weve done everything right to get here. Its just about making sure we nail what we have to do this week and dont let in the outside focus of the what if ... and sort of forget the 80 minutes thats ahead because its going to be a big 80 minutes. Arizona Cardinals Jerseys . That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions.

LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Andy Isabella Youth Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. Kyler Murray Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Durham 154 for 7 (Stoneman 35, van der Merwe 3-47) trail Somerset 184 (Wood 3-24, Rushworth 3-47) by 30 runsScorecard Mark Wood struck in the first over of his first-class comeback on day of contrasts at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, as 17 wickets fell on the first day of the Specsavers County Championship game between Somerset and Durham.Having chosen to bat first, Somerset were bowled out for 184 with Durhams four-man seam attack taking all 10 wickets inside 42 overs. When Durham took to the crease, it was the Somerset spinners Roelof van der Merwe and Jack Leach who did the damage. The pair took six of the seven wickets to fall as Durham finished the day on 154 for 7.Somerset found themselves in early trouble with the bat, as Chris Rushworth and Graham Onions grabbed a wicket apiece to remove openers Tom Abell (0) and veteran Marcus Trescothick (6).Captain Chris Rogers and James Hildreth did stem the tide with a 55-run stand for the third wicket. However, when Rogers drove a Paul Coughlin delivery to point, Somerset were 61 for 3 after 13 overs.Enter Wood, who hadnt featured in a first-class contest since the second Test against Pakistan in Dubai last October. After undergoing ankle surgery earlier in the summer, he struck with his sixth delivery when Hildreth was bowled for 34, and followed that up five balls later when van der Merwe edged to Borthwick for a duck. Wood later added the scalp of Peter Trego, bowled for 16, to finish with the impressive figures of 3 for 24 in seven oveers.ddddddddddddThankfully, for Somerset, Craig Overton pitched in with a useful 42 off 51 balls, with eight fours, and Ryan Davies 31. The wicketkeeper struck two fours and as many sixes before he departed at 166 for 8.Overton was next to go and when Tim Groenewald became Chris Rushworths third victim off the first ball of the 42nd over, Somerset were all out for 184.Durham, in reply, looked in little or no bother as Mark Stoneman (35) and Keaton Jennings put on 38 for the first wicket, off one ball short of 11 overs. However, for the visitors, it was the calm before the storm.Stoneman was dismissed by Leach at 38 for 1 and with Somerset holding their catches, the visitors capitulated, either side of tea. Scott Borthwick (16) and Jennings (14) played one or two decent shots, but with the ball turning off a length, they became van der Merwes first two victims of the day, at 58 and 65 respectively.Michael Richardson fell to Leach, four runs later, for 0 and after van der Merwe had sent back Stuart Poynter (7) at 73 for 5, Gordon Muchall (13), who had travelled down from Durham during the morning as a replacement for the injured Paul Collingwood, was trapped lbw by Leach.Coughlin, who bowled so well during the morning and early afternoon, batted well too. He helped himself to 30 and with Adam Hickey, added 39 for the seventh wicket before being bowled by Overton at 141 for 7. ' ' '
