England coach Wayne Bennett insists Mal Meninga is wrong to think hes trying to undermine him and warned his critics he isnt going to change.In a remarkable press conference in Londons docklands, the veteran coach said he and Australia coach Meninga, who savaged him in a recent newspaper column, spoke this week and maintained hes done nothing wrong.He hasnt said anything to me, Bennett said.I saw him yesterday, spent a bit of time with him.Its a matter of perception. I didnt do that (undermine him). If thats what he believes then thats his prerogative.Bennett has come under fire in England for some taciturn post-match TV interviews and been accused of failing to promote the growth of the game.But the Brisbane coach said he couldnt care less about the criticism and claimed his job is not to be a marketer for the RFL.I started coaching in 1977 and they started bagging me then and nothings changed in 2016, he said.Ill tell you about promoting rugby league. You can talk to any marketing department. They dont want you to be goofing it off and talking it up when your team is getting beat every week because they wont sell a ticket.My job is to get the best out of those players and give you the best entertainment I possibly can, Bennett said.What you say away from the game is immaterial.That has been my philosophy all my coaching life and I am not interested in cheap talk. I am not interested in getting out there thinking I can promote the game by something that I say.I know if the team ... play well and everyone enjoys what theyre doing, there wont be any shortage of fans or people interested.Bennett said after almost 40 years of coaching hes become immune to any barbs aimed at him and avoids reading about and watching the game to ensure he has a clear mind about his job.I dont read anything you (the media) write any more, he said.I havent for over a decade now. I watch television shows but when some rugby league comes on I turn it off.I see lots of guys doing interviews and they are wasting their time and space.It doesnt make any sense. They are just playing the game and I cant play the game. Alec Burks Jersey . Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University.

Sarunas Marciulionis Jersey .com) - Manchester City midfielder David Silva is expected to miss the next four weeks because of a calf problem. Lightning may not strike the same spot twice but bad fortune seems to be able to find South Africa several times, particularly on tours of Australia. There was a hand niggle to Kepler Wessels in the 1993-4 series and an elbow concern with Jacques Kallis in 2005-6, but neither of those had the ramifications of injuries suffered during their three most recent tours Down Under.2008-09On the morning of the first Test in Perth, Ashwell Prince was ruled out with a broken thumb, leaving South Africas middle order without one of its most level heads. Prince was struck by Makhaya Ntini in the nets the day before the game and underwent a morning fitness test but his discomfort in holding the bat meant JP Duminy had to debut.Duminy had not set the ODI stage alight and was considered technically deficient against the short ball and spin but stunned doubters with a gutsy half-century in the fourth innings to win the match. He topped up on that with 166 in Melbourne, to keep Prince out of the side and secure a first series win for South Africa in Australia.2012-13During fitness drills at the end of the first days play in Brisbane, JP Duminy slipped and ruptured an Achilles tendon, ruling him out of action for six months. Duminy was picked as an allrounder in the match after South Africa decided to field an all-pace attack so they were both a batsman and bowler short in the game, but with a rained-out second day, it did nnot matter much.ddddddddddddFaf du Plessis replaced Duminy for the second Test, blocked out an entire day, and scored a second-innings century on debut in a show of extreme stoicism to ensure the Adelaide Test was drawn and South Africa sucked the momentum out of Australia. They won the series in Perth.2016-17Forty-two minutes before lunch on the second day, Dale Steyn went down on his haunches in his follow-through and clutched his right shoulder in pain. He left the field with Australia 166 for 1, just 76 runs behind. Steyn had some history with that shoulder - he broke it late in 2015 - and missed three of the four Tests against England as a result. Even before the diagnosis was made, it seemed Steyn would not be back.Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj combined to bowl Australia out for 244, conceding a lead of only two. The three-man attack will have to do just as well a second time if South Africa are to take a series lead. It has not been decided who will replace Steyn in the squad - they already have two reserve quicks in Morne Morkel and Kyle Abbott - but whoever is called up could see this as their chance to establish themselves as Duminy and du Plessis did on previous tours. Steyn is likely to require surgery and could be out of the game for six months. ' ' '
