As Cronulla shoot for club history, Shane Flanagan has rubbished claims his side have peaked too early and destined to fall short of a hallowed NRL premiership.The top-of-the-table Sharks can re-write the clubs record books with a 12th straight win against strife-riddled Parramatta at Southern Cross Group Stadium on Saturday night.And while their three-month winning run has emboldened The Shire faithful and prompted bookies to slash their odds, history shows it doesnt matter a jot when it comes to predicting premiers.Four teams since the beginning of the NRL era in 1998 have won 12 straight matches - Sydney Roosters in 2015, Canterbury in 2012, Melbourne in 2011 and Canterbury in 2002 - however none lifted the Provan-Summons Trophy in the same season.While mindful of not getting caught up in the hype, Flanagan dismissed suggestions their campaign was destined to crash and burn.Weve got heaps of improvement in us, Flanagan said.The playing group are really mature in their approach to the game and assessing how we perform.They werent happy with last weeks game, there were some defensive errors, on tackle five twice on (Shaun) Johnson.We spoke about it during the week and they still scored tries. So weve got a lot of improvement in us.And he said there was no reason they couldnt win their remaining 10 regular-season games.Michael Ennis addressed it during the week - we dont need a loss before the semi-finals, thats just speculation and a little bit of media talk, Flanagan said.You learn a bit when you lose but you learn a lot when you win.Parramatta winger Semi Radradra is expected to take on the Sharks, despite being charged with domestic violence offences upon his return from Fiji on Thursday night.After one of the most tumultuous weeks in the clubs history, the Eels have an enormous task in front of them.It hasnt been easy sailing for us but to the players credit, Im proud of them... the way theyve fronted up every week and put their distractions aside and really played with plenty of pride and passion, Eels coach Brad Arthur said.The Eels on Friday signed former Sharks playmaker Jeff Robson from the Warriors, however he is unlikely to take on his former club.STATS THAT MATTER* The last team to win 12 straight in a single season and win the competition was Manly in 1987.* Ten of the Sharks 14 matches this season have been decided by eight points or less, including the past four.* Cronulla have won their first eight home matches for the first time since 1999.Source: Fox Sports Stats Devin McCourty Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.

Ryan Allen Jersey . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. Donald Trump Jersey . Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. Matt Renshaw, 20 At the age of 20, Renshaw will be the second-youngest specialist batsman to make his Test debut for Australia in the past 30 years. The only one younger was Phillip Hughes.He was born in Yorkshire and lived in England until the age of 7, before moving to New Zealand, and then at the age of 10 to Australia. The family had not yet moved to Australia at the time of the 2005 Ashes, and Renshaw recalls at the time dreaming of one day playing for England.He and Joe Root are old family friends. Their fathers - Ian Renshaw and Matt Root - were team-mates in the first XI at Sheffield Collegiate, and the two sons would sometimes play together on the outfield after matches. I ended up doing most of the batting, said Renshaw, who is five years younger than Root.At the age of 8, Renshaw - then living in New Zealand - attended the inaugural T20 international between Australia and New Zealand in Auckland. But I could never really hit those big balls because of my size, he said earlier this year I always loved Test cricket.Last summer, he became the youngest man ever to score a Sheffield Shield century for Queensland, when he knuckled down on a slow and challenging Mackay pitch to score 170 from 395 balls. From just 12 first-class games he has 1021 runs at 44.39, with three centuries. He is yet to make his T20 debut, but can hit big balls too, and has struck 18 sixes in first-class cricket.Peter Handscomb, 25 He too is the holder of a British passport. However, unlike Renshaw, Handscomb was born in Australia to English parents.As a teenager, he was a talented junior tennis player and took part in tournaments that featured Bernard Tomic among the seeds. He was also a fine soccer player, but chose cricket over all other sports.Cricket is in Handscombs blood. His father John and his grandfather Sidney both played minor counties cricket in England, and his half-brother James was a legspinner who played for the Victoria Second XI in the early 1990s.Since the start of last summer, nobody has scored more Sheffield Shield runs than Handscombs 1147 at 52.13, including four centuries. That included 112 and 61* in a Man-off-the-Match performance in Victorias win in the Shield final.dddddddddddd He is also the highest run scorer in day-night Sheffield Shield games, with 480 runs at 60, including two hundreds.Captained Australia A in three first-class games this winter, and scored 137 against South Africa A in Townsville and 87 against India A in Brisbane.Nic Maddinson, 24 In 2010, at the age of 18, Maddinson became the youngest player to score a century on Sheffield Shield debut for New South Wales. But his record lasted only until the next summer, when his team-mate Kurtis Patterson broke it again.Has represented Australia in T20s, and scored 34 off 16 balls on debut against India in Rajkot in 2013.His longest first-class innings remains the 335-ball 137 he made against Queensland in his debut season, nearly six years agoHas captained New South Wales in six Sheffield Shield games. In his first as skipper, he led from the front by smashing 80 off 72 balls to drive his side to victory in a chase of 214 against Queensland, in the same Mackay match in which Renshaw made his patient 170.Has hit more Sheffield Shield sixes in the past five years than any other batsman: 37. Next on the list in that time is Daniel Christian, with 35.Chadd Sayers, 29 Cricket is in his blood, too. His father Dean Sayers played three first-class games for South Australia in 1981 as a medium-pace bowler, and dismissed Desmond Haynes in a tour match. And Chadds brother Aaron Sayers is a batsman who has played for the South Australia 2nd XI.Has been in Australias Test squad before. Toured New Zealand earlier this year, but was not called on in either of the two Tests.Is the Sheffield Shields leading wicket taker of the past four years. During that time, Sayers has collected 131 wickets at 23.45.Is also on top of the Sheffield Shield wicket tally this summer, with 19 at 16.10. He is almost exclusively a long-form player, having played the last of his 11 domestic one-day games back in 2014. Remarkably, he is yet to make his T20 debut.
