Cronulla have promised to get up in the face of Melbourne superstars Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk ahead of their NRL minor premiership shootout on Saturday night. Jake Butt Broncos Jersey .Brisbane pulled off one of the great ambushes of the season in last weeks upset win over the Storm, with the ladder leaders admitting they were put off their game by a Wayne Bennett-orchestrated tactical masterclass.The Broncos rattled the Storm with early ball movement and their line speed, with the most telling moment of the game coming when the usually unflappable Smith was marched 10 metres for back-chatting the referees.Smith lost his cool at the officials after a questionable penalty - with the incident indicative of how much the Broncos were able to unsettle the premiership favourites.The Sharks boast some of the best nigglers in the game in hooker Michael Ennis and prop Andrew Fifita and hinted they would look to unsettle their opponents with the JJ Giltinan Shield on the line at AAMI Park.I watched that game and Brisbane just stuck to their game plan, they played really well and got up in Melbournes face and shut down their key players, Sharks centre Jack Bird said.Were talking now about how to shut them down and we played them here at the start of the year and beat them.That was a long time ago and were two completely different teams. Its going to be a big challenge going down there to Melbourne but its not impossible.Bird was accused of failing to keep his cool a fortnight ago when he was captured by television cameras giving a spray to teammate James Maloney for a botched short drop out during their loss to South Sydney.The Sharks broke their four-game winless run against Sydney Roosters on the weekend and Bird said the incident was just a sign of his frustration and nothing personal against Maloney.The camera came on my face at the wrong time, Bird said.Obviously I did get a little bit frustrated but it wasnt me aiming anything at James personally.I had a talk with him after the game and we were all sweet. I got frustrated and I dont like losing. Coming off the back of 15 straight wins, to have three straight losses was something new to me.People say Im an angry person. Im always angry.

Chad Kelly Youth Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. http://www.broncosonlinenfl.com/broncos-jake-butt-navy-blue-jersey/ . In taking its goal tally to 99 in all competitions already this season, City delivered another demonstration of its lethal firepower at Etihad Stadium to set up a fourth-round match at home to another second-tier team -- Watford. Ricky Burns will make the first defense of his junior welterweight world title against mandatory challenger Kiryl Relikh on Oct. 7 at the SSE Hydro in his hometown of Glasgow, Eddie Hearn announced on Friday.Burns, who has also won world titles at lightweight and junior lightweight and is one of the most successful boxers in Scottish history, is returning to the same arena where he knocked out Italys Michele Di Rocco in the eighth round on May 28 to win a vacant 140-pound world title.Many thought Burns?was just about done when he lost three out of four bouts in 2014 and 2015. All three losses were to top opponents: Terence Crawford, who took his lightweight title, Dejan Zlaticanin, who went on to win a lightweight world title, and former lightweight titlist Omar Figueroa Jr.But Burns (40-5-1, 14 KOs), 33, has won three fights in a row since, all by knockout against lesser opposition. One was the strong performance to claim the belt against Di Rocco.My face at the end of the fight [against Di Rocco] said everything, Burns said. It meant so much to me that win and prove I still have so much to give. It was great to be back in Glasgow, and I said before I had to win to get those nights back again, not just for me but for the future of Scottish boxing.We have some talented kids coming through in Scotland, and its important they get the chance to show what they can do live on [United Kingdom broadcaster] Sky Sports. I put more pressure on myself in that fight than any other. I took plenty of stick before that, as I was apparently finished and on the slide. Everyone had written me off and it felt good to prove them wrong. I cant thank my trainer Tony Sims enough for what hes done. Weve really worked hard together and when I was offered the Di Rocco fight -- I grabbed it with both hands as I knew I could win.Now comes his first defense aagainst 26-year-old Relikh (21-0, 19 KOs), a five-year professional from Belarus, who will be facing the first opponent of any consequence. Garett Bolles Broncos Jersey. .Relikh is a very tough fight as a first defense. Hes got a high KO ratio, so he will be very dangerous throughout, Burns said. Trust me -- he has my undivided attention, and I will have to be at my best to get through this. There are some massive fights out there in the future against some huge names in the 140-pound division, but were taking it one step at a time, and that starts on Oct. 7 at the Hydro.Relikh, who has registered a knockout in his past 12 fights in a row, is trained and promoted by one of Englands most famous and popular fighters, retired former welterweight and junior welterweight world titleholder Ricky Hatton.Kiryl is one of those cool, unflinching boxers -- nothing fazes him, Hatton said. This is a big opportunity for him, and hes not bothered about being the underdog. Kiryls been training and boxing away from home for years, so hell have no problem going to Scotland for the fight. I think having the crowd against him will bring the best out of him.Ricky Burns is a top-class fighter. You dont win three world titles by being anything less than world class, but there always has to be a changing of the guard, and I think this could be Kiryls time. Hes been working with me in the gym for a while now and every day hes been getting better and better, so I believe people with be a little bit surprised with what they see when gets it on with Burns.In one of the key undercard fights, Scotty Cardle (20-0-1, 6 KOs), 26, will defend the British lightweight title for the third time when he squares off with 32-year-old Kevin Hooper (19-3, 4 KOs).
