Eight matches - and just two starts - into his NRL career, North Queensland youngster Coen Hess has been hailed as a future representative star by rugby league great Petero Civoniceva.The Cowboys title defence appeared to take a hit when form backrower Ethan Lowe (neck) was ruled out for the rest of the season ahead of their sudden death semi-final.However, Hess - who turned 20 just last month - stepped up to amass 188m, 29 tackles and score a stunning first half try in North Queenslands extra-time 26-20 win over Brisbane last Friday night.It marked just the second start for the 110kg, 190cm backrower in seven matches this year after a 2015 debut as a teenager.But Civoniceva already had the young Queenslander lined up for State of Origin duty.What a player, he told AAP.I was sitting back watching him thinking this guy has got a massive future.He wasnt waiting for the game to come to him, he was chasing the game which is a great sign for a young guy new in his career.He has all the attributes to have a successful NRL career and hopefully representative career.Cowboys coach Paul Green admitted Hess had enjoyed his start - and was hungry for more ahead of Friday nights NRL preliminary final against Cronulla at Allianz Stadium.He was close to one of our best players last week, he said.I think he enjoyed the game and wants a bit more of it.Civoniceva - who enjoyed a 15 season career before retiring at 36 - was in awe of Hess composure at such a young age.It speaks volumes of the system they have up there in North Queensland, he said.He is a young man but is a ready made first grader.I remember being at that age and I was just hopeful of playing well but these young guys these days are just on another level.They are not there to make up the numbers, they are backing themselves.Its a seamless transition to first grade - thats the most impressive thing.Buy Shoes Ireland .

Shoes Ireland From China . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. IRVING, Texas -- Bill Callahan is replacing coach Jason Garrett as the play-caller for the Dallas Cowboys. So said owner Jerry Jones on Tuesday. Even Callahan himself confirmed it. All of which served only to get Garrett to dig in a little deeper in his refusal to publicly acknowledge a change in the role hes had since Jones hired him as offensive co-ordinator in 2007. "There is no real advantage for us to reveal whos calling the plays explicitly, and how were going to do it, in early June," Garrett said. "Its just the way I feel about it. We have a plan in place. Weve had a plan in place for a long, long time. I dont want to get into that plan much further than I already have." Garrett kept play-calling duties when he replaced head coach Wade Phillips halfway through the 2010 season. Jones wanted Phillips to be the defensive play-caller when he hired him, and he wanted the same for Garrett on the offensive side. But Jones dropped the first hint during Senior Bowl practices in January that a change was in the works. He even specifically mentioned Callahan, who called plays for the Oakland Raiders as offensive co-ordinator and head coach from 1998 to 2003. Callahan, who is offensive co-ordinator and offensive line coach, has consistently deferred to Garrett when the topic came up this off-season, but finally relented when told that Jones had said the decision to let Callahan call plays was made weeks ago. Callahan looked to be the one calling plays during off-season workouts, and Jones said anyone "looking at practice ... can get a pretty good idea of how its going there." "Its a real honour and a great responsibility," Callahan said.dddddddddddd"Im flattered to be part of this and take on the additional responsibilities of calling the plays in the course of the game." Garrett has faced the question of whether he would give up play-calling duties because of poor game management decisions in several losses the past two seasons. The Cowboys finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs both times. Callahans offence had a rough season in his debut with the Raiders, but finished no worse than eighth in points and yards per attempt each of the next four years. Callahan also spent four years as head coach at Nebraska. "I think hes an outstanding coach with the kind of experience that I really think is good for us right now," Jones said. "The fact that he has been head coach, college, as well as in the NFL, you bring all of that to bear." Garrett said his refusal to announce the change had nothing to do with whether he agreed with it. "Im completely on board with all decisions we make," Garrett said. "We make collective decisions in this organization. We always have and we always will." While playfully acknowledging that he wasnt thrilled with his owner revealing the play-calling decision, Garrett said his relationship with Jones has never been better. "Hes an outstanding owner because he cares a great deal about this football team and making the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys great," Garrett said. "When youre in an environment like that, working for a guy like that, the pedal is down and thats a good thing. The pedal is down for all of us." ' ' '
