Back-to-back defensive slumps have Cronulla desperate for answers as they try to keep their chances of a top-two NRL finish alive against South Sydney.The Sharks go into Monday nights clash with the Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium motivated by their desire to bounce back after a three-game winless run.However, as strong as their intent is to make a statement three weeks out from the finals, front of mind for coach Shane Flanagan is addressing their defensive frailties that have been exposed in the past two weeks.Their 30-14 loss to Canberra and 32-18 defeat at the hands of St George Illawarra are the two worst defensive performances the side has put in this season and the only times the team has conceded more than 30 points in a game.You need to defend well to play well and thats where we start tomorrow night, Flanagan said.You cant leak 30 points - if you do that against good sides youre not going to get there and if you do it in a semi-final youre going to get bailed out the other end.It represents a lapse for Flanagans side who have been the third best defensive team this year and conceded an average 16.9 points per game.After the Canberras win over Parramatta on Sunday, the Sharks hold a two-point advantage over the Raiders and must keeping winning to be assured of second spot and a home game in the first week of the semi-finals.Id like to think we can win three of them before the finals, Flanagan said.And thats about confidence going into the semi-finals, playing well, having faith in the bloke next to you.We need to get back to where we were a couple of weeks ago.Flanagan said skipper Paul Gallen was in doubt for Mondays game at ANZ Stadium because of a calf strain but his fellow veteran back-rower Luke Lewis was set to play despite missing training during the week because of a virus.Souths halfback Adam Reynolds is struggling to overcome a hamstring injury.STATS THAT MATTER* South Sydney have won just two of 11 home matches this season, including just two of eight at ANZ Stadium.* Cronulla have made the second most tackle busts (28.2 per game) and second most offloads (12 per game) in 2016.* Adam Reynolds has scored 835 points and needs two more to become South Sydneys third all-time leading points scorer.Source: Fox Sports StatsDaniel Hudson Nationals Jersey . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Trea Turner Jersey . He said Tuesday thats a big reason why he is now the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night. https://www.cheapnationals.com/897r-yan-gomes-jersey-nationals.html . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Anibal Sanchez Jersey . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. Stephen Strasburg Nationals Jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St.St George Illawarra are set for another year of rebuilding, with recruitment chief Ian Millward admitting their roster is just about set for next NRL season.Millward on Friday took the unprecedented step of explaining why the club failed in its attempts to lure the likes of Cooper Cronk, Corey Norman, Luke Keary and Lachlan Coote to the club.And while the Dragons remain on the lookout for a new halfback, they are unlikely to replace the departing Benji Marshall, Mitch Rein, Mike Cooper and Ben Creagh.With only a handful of players contracted in 2018, including Tariq Sims, Leeson Ah Mau, Tyson Frizell, Joel Thompson and new buy Nene Macdonald, Millward admits they might wait another year to splash their cash.In our recruitment for 2017, we start with a squad thats fairly entrenched at this point in time, Millward told the club website.But 2018, weve got a lot of players off contract. This gives us an opportunity to view what players are performing well and bring something to our organisation that we want to extend for 2018 onwards.Millward said he wasnt too bothered by Cronk, Norman and Coote all shunning the Red V to take up long-term deals and remain with their respective clubs.Which I thought was really refreshing because we didnt lose our ability to go out and try and entice them here and another rival club signed them, he said.And then youre looking at your process, saying what did they do that we didnt do?. They stayed at their club - they showed loyalty.Their chase of Keary was different, with the future Sydney Roosters pivot wanting to remain close to his family and girlfriend in Sydneys eastern suburbs.He wanted tto stay with his family and his partner living in that area and, moving to Wollongong, where we do all our training at, wasnt an appealing factor for him, so we missed out on that, he said.ddddddddddddThe Dragons recruitment has been a hot topic for most of the season, centred on playmaker Marshall, who leads a troupe of players to farewell the club in Saturdays last regular-season game against Newcastle.The match also marks the final game for Knights forward and Dragons 2010 premiership-winning team member Jeremy Smith, who will do a lap of honour with former teammate Creagh.While the game will have no bearing in the top eight, interest surrounds the captains challenge trial, with both sides getting one challenge per half for try-scoring decisions only.The finale will put the Knights out of their season-long misery, having broken a host of unwanted records, including their 17-game losing streak being the longest in the NRL era.STATS THAT MATTER:* The Dragons 53 tries and 313 points are the fewest theyve scored in a season. Their nine wins is the second-equal lowest* Newcastle are just one of three other teams to have lost 17 straight matches in a season, joining Newtown (20 in 1977), the (then) Eastern Suburbs (all 18 games in 1966) and the (then) Western Suburbs (18 in 1984)* Gold Coast in 1993 were the last to register just one win in a season, that coming against Newcastle in round six - by coincidence the same round in which the Knights defeated Wests Tigers this season for their only win ' ' '
