Premiership winning Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan has revealed he considered quitting the NRL altogether during his 12 month suspension from the game in 2014.Flanagan will forever be remembered as the first coach to lead Cronulla to a premiership win after they defeated Melbourne 14-12 in the NRL grand final at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.The former first grade hooker is a plumber by trade and considered falling back on that during the toughest time of his career.There were times there when I was thinking this is not me, why me?, I was feeling sorry for myself and wanted to walk away from the game, Flanagan said.I thought about going back to plumbing.But I did feel I had some unfinished business. I wasnt silly enough to think I would be sitting here (as a premiership winning coach) but there was something there.What I did know is that I had been in the game for 20 years as a player and coach.I always had faith in the playing group we assembled.Sharks skipper Paul Gallen, who served an ASADA suspension in 2014, said it was Flanagans plumbing background that helped him to excel as a coach.Those days were really hard, Gallen said.We cant change what happened but thankfully we came back.I really do think of Flanno as a tradesman.Thats how he goes about his job. He doesnt wear good clothes and he goes down to the pub and had a beer just about every night.Thats just the way he is and that is the way he approaches his coaching. Mitch Richmond Kings Jersey .

Yogi Ferrell Kings Jersey . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more. Williams scored 11 points in 10 minutes, Alan Anderson scored 17 points, and the Brooklyn Nets finished the exhibition season with a 108-87 win over the Miami Heat on Friday night. Deciphering swingThe first ball of the day didnt move in the air but tailed back in after pitching. The seam was pointing towards third slip, which should have taken the ball away but it didnt. James Anderson is a great bowler because of his masterful wrist and one could easily assume that the ball in question came back in because he flicked his wrist at the point of delivery. But perhaps that wasnt the case, for an identical ball (same wrist and seam position) last night went away from Ajinkya Rahane. Whats happening here? Is trusting the seam position to decipher the swing a bad choice? Anderson has a slightly open action for an outswing bowler and the moment he doesnt finish the action nicely, the ball doesnt move away in the air or off the pitch. It tends to happen at the start of a new spell. Remember the first ball after lunch on the first day? It drifted on to Virat Kohlis pads even when Anderson had 7 fielders on the off-side.Kohlis footwork on the driveWhen Kohli started as a young first-class batsman, he had a really short and across front-foot stride. He worked around it by playing the ball really late. But once in a while, he would find himself in a tangle because of the nature of his stride. If theres one thing that Kohli has changed it is his head position in the stance and that has not only led to a better understanding of where his off stump is but also allowed him to have a long forward stride as opposed to the earlier short and across stride. Nowadays, its worth watching his front-foot defence and drives from the square angle, for it reminds you of his evolution as a batsman.Sahas Moeen misjudgementWriddhiman Saha was lbw to Moeen Ali after went back to a ball that was not particularly short. There is something about Moeen that encourages you to go back, for he bowls a flatter trajectory and the moment a batsman sees the flatter line, he gets tempted to stay back. This error of judgement tennds to happen more often when either you are new at the crease or Moeen is at the start of a new spell.ddddddddddddShami finds the sweet spotAlastair Cooks trigger movement is really pronounced and takes him deep inside the crease. Whenever you see a batsman with such a trigger movement, its believed that if you pitch the ball fuller, you will have him in a spot of bother. In theory it looks very simple but when you look at Cooks Test record, you realise that it isnt as simple after all. There are a couple of aspects to Cooks technique - since he is acutely aware of his off stump, he leaves the ball really well. So, if you pitch full and outside off, he is equipped to let them go. Then if you bowl a little too straight, you end up playing to his strengths, for he is really strong off his legs. Since his front-foot stride is either marginal or non-existent, hes also mindful of the fact that pushing hard with hands would land him in trouble. But once in a while, early on in his tenure, he will get an ideal delivery that dismisses him. Mohammed Shami found that length and line on the delivery that saw the back of Cook.Roots response to variable bounceThe first ball of the seventh over stayed really low and Joe Root was fortunate to get his bat down in time. Once that happens to you, you try and play everything off the front foot with a vertical bat but its easier said than done against bowlers operating close to 90 mph. It is also tough to forget about years of conditioning with regards to your response against the short ball. Root decided to do something spectacular on the following ball - he stepped down the pitch and flicked it for four. Its rare to see that in the seventh over of a new Test innings but the idea was to be proactive instead of waiting for the next ball to stay low. ' ' '
