Cronulla second-rower Wade Graham feels his combination with James Maloney is finally hitting its straps and it could be enough to finally earn him that NSW jumper.Graham admits its been a testing couple of weeks after fulfilling his boyhood dream when he was named in the Blues squad for State of Origin II, only to have it ripped from under him because of a high tackle suspension.He admitted to going through a dark spot which he described as the toughest period of his career.It was so tough for me, its one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do, to watch a game you could have been a part of and were so close to being a part of, Graham said.Its something I dreamed of doing since I was a kid and to actually get there and to achieve it and then to lose it due to circumstances that you cant do anything about, it was obviously tough.But it is what it is.The heartache of having to watch from the sidelines as Queensland sealed victory would have been compounded by his knowledge that his replacement Tyson Frizell was the best on field for NSW and looks certain to retain his spot.However, after yet another standout effort for the Sharks in their record-setting 34-24 win over Parramatta on Saturday, Graham too has a strong claim for a spot in Laurie Daleys squad.What will only strengthen his case is his partnership on the Sharks left side with NSW playmaker James Maloney which is going from strength to strength.After conceding an early 18-0 lead, it was the Sharks left edge which sparked their revival with Graham looking dangerous every time he ran the ball.Its taken a while for (his partnership with Maloney) to get going this year, Graham said.Working with Jimmy a lot, hes a dominant playmaker and we both play what we see, were ad-lib players, we play up on the ball, we play flat at the defence, and sometimes he sees something different that I see and its taken a while to get that communication right.To get that combination for him to sometimes pull back and let me play and when for me to pull back and let him play.Its a work in progress and weve got a lot of improvement in us and well be working hard to get better.Fake NFL Jerseys China .

Fake NFL Jerseys For Sale .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.EVIAN-LES-BAINS, Germany -- Jerome Boateng has been a central figure in Germanys advance to the quarterfinals of the European Championship without conceding a goal, so its a huge relief for his team that a calf injury wont keep him out of Saturdays quarterfinal against Italy.Boateng has helped set the tone for his side at Euro 2016 -- at both ends of the field.It all started with a spectacular goal-line clearance against Ukraine when Germany was only 1-0 up. Germany went on to win the match 2-0 but it could have all been so different had Ukraine got on level terms.Boateng then helped contain his Bayern Munich teammate Robert Lewandowski in the scoreless draw with Poland, and marshalled the backline in the 1-0 victory over Northern Ireland in the final group game.Boatengs defensive strengths are well-chronicled.Whats not is his scoring prowess.But against Slovakia in the round of 16, the 27-year-old central defender gave his sides misfiring attack a helping hand by opening the scoring with his first international goal in 63 appearances.Boateng has been spoken of as a potential player of the tournament. Hes not convinced.Sure, a defender can also score a goal or play a good game, but I think it will always stay like that that, the offensive plaayers are more in focus, he said Thursday at the teams tournament base in Evian-les-Bains.ddddddddddddThere have been some concerns that a calf injury would mean he miss the encounter with Italy.The calf is very well and good for Saturday, he said.Boatengs participation in Euro 2016 had been in doubt earlier this year after he suffered a muscle injury to his left leg in January.The long layoff, though, has clearly not been a hindrance.Boateng insists that he wont change the way he plays even though another yellow card would see him suspended from any potential semifinal against either France or Iceland.Ill go in like I always go in, he said.Boatengs inspired performances at Euro 2016 have come just weeks after he found himself in the middle of a racism controversy off the field.A top member of a rising German nationalist party reportedly told a national newspaper that many people wouldnt want to live next to Boateng, who was born in Berlin to a father from Ghana.The remarks drew widespread protests and prompted fans to unfurl a banner reading Jerome be our neighbor! at Germanys friendly against Slovakia last month.
