Try keep your arms up and youll be sweet.Thats how Canberra behemoth Shannon Boyd sees it as confusion reigns about the NRLs definition of a shoulder charge.Eyebrows were raised last week after Boyds teammate Jack Wighton was charged by the match review committee with making the banned tackle then quickly exonerated by the judiciary.It cleared the way for Wighton to play in the Raiders 16-14 qualifying final loss on Saturday.Cronullas Michael Ennis wasnt even cited by the match review committee for a hit many deemed similar that same weekend.Boyd, who copped a one-week suspension in June for a late shoulder charge on Manlys Jake Trbojevic, said the recent furore hadnt brought any clarity to the rule.Who knows whats going to happen with it and whos going to get charged and whos not, he said on Monday, ahead of his sides sudden-death semi-final against Penrith at GIO Stadium on Saturday.Its all over the shop at the moment.Im not really too worried about it to be honest with you. Im not getting in trouble for it.Asked whether the confusion had made him think twice about how he tackled, Boyd said: Just try and get your arms up mate, and youre pretty sweet.Raiders prop Junior Paulo admitted it was a tough issue, particularly at this time of the season when intensity levels are high.We get taught to hit with our shoulders and follow through, but use our arms as well, he said.At times, especially in big games like this week when you feel like you need to pull a shot off, youve always got to wrap your arms. So its as simple as that. Custom Wholesale NFL Jerseys . It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home.

Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Wholesale NFL Jerseys 2018 . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. India picked Kedar Jadhav for the ODI series against New Zealand on the strength of his recent batting numbers. In the Quadrangular A-team one-day series in Australia, he scored 254 runs at 63.50, finishing as the tournaments fourth-highest run-getter. But his first big act against New Zealand would be with the ball.MS Dhonis decision to throw the ball to Jadhav in Dharamsala wasnt surprising in itself; he had spent a long time bowling offspin in the nets under coach Anil Kumbles supervision on the eve of the game. It was his immediate success that made heads turn. In the first over he bowled, Jadhav nearly had James Neesham lbw, but Bruce Oxenford turned down a strong shout.Jadhav, though, had the last word on it, getting both Neesham and Mitchell Santner out in his next over. In Delhi, he broke a 120-run stand by trapping Tom Latham in front, and took his best ODI figures, 3 for 29, in Mohali. Before the start of the series, Jadhav had one List A wicket; now he has seven.Jadhavs success with the ball has surprised many, not least because they had no clue he could bowl. Former India bowling coach Bharat Arun, who works with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the same capacity, has never seen Jadhav bowl. He was only a keeper for RCB so he never bowled in the nets, Arun says. He only used to work on his keeping. Maybe occasionally he would have bowled for fun on one or two occasions, but never seriously.Jadhav says it was Dhoni and Kumbles idea to groom him as a part-time bowler. The decision, it is believed, was born out of necessity; Dhoni wanted someone to replicate Suresh Rainas role - a middle-order batsman who could sneak in a handful of overs. Rainas failure to recover from an illness has givenJadhav an extended run, and he has now made it that much more difficult for Raina to come back into the side.While Indias batsmen have played Jadhav comfortably in the nets, New Zealand have struggled to decode him. Different theories have been offered as to why this has been the case. Arun feels its the low point of his release, a consequence of his short stature, that has proved deceptive; Jadhav himself has credited his success to his round-arm action and variations in pace.The questions, though, remain: how long is the honeymoon going to last? Is Jadhav a fluke or a sustainable solution to Indias middle-overs bowling problems? The former Maharashtra coach Surendra Bhave, who has worked with Jadhav since his under-19 days, says the 31-year-old is a multifaceted cricketer.He is an allrounder in the true sense, because without too much of an experience in keeping wickets in first-class cricket, he did exceptionally well in IPL as a keeper, Bhave says.dddddddddddd With people who have multiple skills, at times you feel that their success has been flukey, but you cant call it a fluke because he has bowled well in all the four ODIs so far. So obviously he has got some skillsets that were observed by the captain.During his time as Maharashtra coach, Bhave says he used Jadhav as a partnership-breaker in List A and T20 matches, and says his willpower stood out in pressure situations. Its fantastic for Kedar to have delivered because even a proper bowler gets nervous bowling his first over, Bhave says. That says a lot about his temperament and mental strength. He has got this gift of making subtle speed changes in his bowling and he does that consciously.Bhave, however, says Jadhavs true test will come when he is required to prove himself with the bat. In the three innings Jadhav has batted in so far in the series, he has scored 10*, 41 and 0. He has done well as a bowler, but we dont know whether it will last for few more games or he actually becomes an allrounder, Bhave says. We [Jadhav and I] have spoken twice or thrice [during the series] and Jadhav himself knows that he has to make a big score because this is a very strong outfit.Whenever he gets an opportunity, he has to nail it; he has to make a big score. His batting in India A and List A cricket has got him there, and he has actually been batting very well.Arun says Kohli has been a big influence on Jadhav, especially when it comes to fitness. Jadhav is a really hardworking cricketer, puts in a lot of effort at the gym and does a lot of work on his batting, Arun says. He would work alongside Virat in the gym. I guess thats where he would have started improving.Bhave says Jadhav has never looked out of depth at the international level. If you look at his List A cricket and India A cricket, his record in white-ball cricket has been impeccable, he says. He has been averaging around 50 in List A cricket and his consistent performances for India A tell us hes pretty happy in the position he is in. At no point in time Kedar suffers from the feeling of inadequacy at the international level, and thats his strength.When you are a non-regular bowler, to bowl well in all the four matches is in itself a good achievement. That has an effect on his batting - when he is batting he is extremely at ease and he is extremely confident. Even when you saw him in under-19 cricket, you saw that this boy was exceptional. ' ' '
