Gold Coast recruit Jarrod Wallace is relishing the opportunity to be an NRL-level starting prop next year in the Titans forward pack.Wallace, starting just 10 times in a 73-game career with Brisbane, is tipped to don the No.8 jersey in 2017 alongside Ryan James.He met his Titans teammates on Thursday as the team returned to training at their new base at Parkwood International, and said the chance to take the starting role was why he headed south from the Broncos.The opportunity to be a starting front-rower was high here, he said.Up at the Broncos they still had Sam Thaiday and (Adam) Blairy and (Josh) McGuire and things like that.Wallace began his junior career on the Gold Coast, debuting with the club in the under-20s.I was probably about a 115kg chubby little 16-year-old, he laughed.He then left for Brisbane for the final year of under-20s with the likes of Luke Bailey standing between him and a first grade spot, averaging less than 40 minutes a game as he helped them to the 2015 grand final off the bench.Theyve pretty much got me to where I am today and my career, he said.But Im looking forward to the challenge, stepping out of the shadow of a few of the boys Ive been playing with up there.Since signing with the Titans in July, the 25-year-old has also seen the likes of Jarryd Hayne and Kevin Proctor join the squad for the 2017 season.And he admits hes been rubbing his hands together at the prospect.When I heard they had signed I knew they were great signings, he said.Especially Jarryd, hes a good player and I reckon this pre-season going into next year hes going to be outstanding.And look at Kev, hes over in England at the moment playing for NZ. He deserves where he is, hes only going to make the side stronger.Jake Beckley Jersey . Louis Cardinals.

Tyler Mahle Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.CLEMSON, S.C. -- Clemson had teetered on the edge of defeat most of the year, so when it finally occurred, the loss to Pittsburgh left the Tigers more puzzled than shocked.The Tigers perfectly planned structure, built on a foundation of last years dominance, showed cracks and instability since the season began. Too many turnovers, too few experienced defenders and some debatable coaching calls caught up to seemingly unflappable Clemson (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) in a 43-42 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday when Chris Blewitt nailed a 48-yard field goal with six seconds left.Clemson was among three of the top four College Football Playoff poll teams to lose undefeated seasons, sliding from No. 3 last week to No. 5 . And the first home loss since 2013 has left the Tigers questioning how quickly theyll rebound for a second consecutive national title run.We havent experienced any losses like that, especially at home, not in a long time, said Deshaun Watson, whose ACC-record 580-yard passing game will be overshadowed by his three interceptions, two near the end zone. Just have to keep our heads up, realize not everybodys perfect.Clemson captured college footballs attention last season with its dominant defense and unstoppable offense, led by Watsons knack for delivering the perfect pass. The Tigers rode that combo to a No. 1 ranking at 14-0, an ACC title and the national championship game, where Watson put on a dazzling show with 478 yards of offense and four touchdowns in a 45-40 loss to Alabama.Talk instantly began of a super offense, perhaps the games best ever, led by Watson and featuring proven playmakers like tailback Wayne Gallman and receivers Mike Williams and Artavis Scott.From the start, though, things were not the same. Clemson opened with underwhelming six-point wins over Auburn and Troy, and fans, analysts and even Watson wondering what was wrong.Clemson looked to gain momentum following a hard-fought, 42-36 win over then-No. 3 Louisville on Oct. 1 to start 4-0. The mistakes continued, though, and nearly cost the Tigers two weeks later against North Carolina State when kicker Kyle Bambard missed a potential game-winning, 33-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation in a 24-17 overtime win .In that game, Clemson coach Daabo Swinney went for a fourth-and-one in OT -- a bold call because it worked -- with C.ddddddddddddJ. Fuller leaping ahead to keep the drive alive before Watsons winning 10-yard TD toss to Scott.That same, put-it-away attitude by Swinney cost the Tigers this time when Gallman was stopped on third- and fourth-and-one at the Pittsburgh 35 with a minute left. A punt into the end zone, at worst, wouldve left the Panthers 15 more yards to gain in the final 58 seconds.Instead, quarterback Nathan Peterman moved Pitt 34 yards into range for Blewitt, who kicked it straight through.We had been making those kinds of plays this year, Swinney said of failed runs.Clemsons mistakes are up from last year. Watson entered this year with 15 career interceptions and has 13 picks in 10 games this year. The Tigers have 21 turnovers this season after 27 in their 15 games a season ago.Two of Watsons interceptions came with Clemson deep in Pitt territory driving for scores. The last one by linebacker Saleem Brightwell came in the fourth quarter with the Tigers up 42-34 and in the red zone.Clemsons re-manned defense, which lost seven starters from last year, including six taken in the last NFL draft, was also gashed by the Panthers. The Tigers overachieved much of the year but allowed their most points and second most yards (464).Watson said its essential that Clemson regain its swagger and finish strong.At the end of the day, the attitude is still positive, he said.Clemsons championship goals, especially with losses by previously undefeated No. 4 Michigan and No. 7 Washington this weekend, remain intact, Watson said. The Tigers would clinch the ACC Atlantic by beating Wake Forest on Saturday. They close the season at home against rival South Carolina. Win the ACC title game and the Tigers, with all their flaws, likely head back to the playoffs.This team has the heart of a champion, and that will be revealed, Swinney said. I believe that adversity builds character and reveals it. I know what this team is made of, and well fight back, respond and move on.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 ' ' '
