Jason Taumalolo will need to pass a medical test on his problematic left knee before he is made available for New Zealands Four Nations series.The North Queensland locks dominant run in the back-half of the NRL season has made him not only a shoo-in for the Kiwis Test side for the northern hemisphere tour, but also a contender for the Dally M Award.However he has revealed he has again been plagued by a medial ligament injury in his knee, which could rule him out of a New Zealand squad for the third-time in two years.Ive had the same knee problem from last year and it was kind of bothering me towards the back-end of the year, he said.After youve done your medial about three times it starts to get a bit dodgy so obviously its taken its toll.Taumalolo was ruled out of last years tour of England with a similar injury, while he also missed the 2015 Anzac Test against Australia as part of a month-long stint on the sidelines due to the same problem.He is almost certain to be added to the Kiwis train-on squad on Monday, after his Cowboys were knocked out of the NRL finals on Friday night.He will undergo a medical test with the Cowboys next week to determine whether he can add to the five Tests he played for the Kiwis since 2014 when the tournament begins next month.Despite the threat of post-season surgery, the North Queensland forward has warned rivals he is set to return with an even more dynamic game next season.The 23-year-old broke 75 tackles this year, but only provided nine offloads for the team that ranked the lowest in the NRL in that category.The club has also lost James Tamou, who provided the second most offloads (20) throughout the 2016 season.And its an area the Rugby League Players Association players player for 2016 wants to improve on ahead of next year.

In Europe, top teams seem to be largely happy with their squads after spending nearly $1 billion in the off-season. And although English league clubs are unlikely to splash cash in January, Arsenal and Chelsea could be tempted to strengthen their squads with new strikers. Ken Boyer Jersey .

Tim McCarver Cardinals Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams. Warwickshire 398 for 6 (Hain 135, Ambrose 104, Trott 68) drew with Hampshire 531 (Wheater 204*, Ervine 75, Poysden 4-85)Scorecard A slow, flat pitch and a full day lost to rain were heavy factors against this match producing a positive result, much to the frustration of both sides for differing reasons, Warwickshire needing one to keep up with Middlesex and Lancashire in a breakaway group at the top of Division One, Hampshire to jump ahead of Surrey and Nottinghamshire at the other end.Yet it was a worthwhile exercise for Warwickshire in particular, who were able to watch the precociously talented Sam Hain emerge from a long run of frustratingly low scores in Championship cricket with his first century in almost a year, which he turned into his second highest score for the county.Ultimately holing out for 135 as Warwickshire tried - in vain, as it turned out - to claim a fifth batting point, Hain hit 16 fours and one six, the maximum - a pull backward of square off Gareth Berg - being the shot that took him to three figures.Hains first full season playing white-ball cricket has brought significant scores in both T20 and the 50-over game but as an illustration of the extent to which runs have eluded him until now in the four-day game, he accumulated more in this one innings than in his previous 11 this season.Afterwards, he described his struggle to rediscover his form as a new experience but one he had learned from.Ive never been in this situation before so to come out and get a few runs today is nice, he said. I couldnt really get my head round what was happening but I talked to some of the older boys to try to get a bit of help because it is quite tough when you are young and Ive learned a lot from it.When you are in a run of low scores you start to turn up wondering whether you will play or not. I thought I might have missed out this game, so Im grateful to Ian Bell and Dougie Brown for keeping faith in me.I dont think I have been as nervous before in red ball cricket and I still feel it a work in progress. There are a few technical things I need to work on but for me it has been more a mental thing and so Ive tried to get back to working on my processes rather than looking at the outcomes.Given that he has seven Championship hundreds to his name already - includingg a double - it is easy to lose sight of how young he is.dddddddddddd He is not 21 until this Saturday.Warwickshire believe they have in Hain a future England player with a considerable career ahead him and director of cricket Brown reaffirmed his faith in him while admitting he was not far from being left out.We discussed how long you persevere with a young player with such exceptional talent and we were probably getting close to that point, he said.But everyone goes through it. (Ian) Bell and (Jonathan) Trott in our dressing room, Alastair Cook, Jacques Kallis - very fine players who have all gone through periods where they are short of form and confidenceThere was no doubt Sam was going to come good at some stage, the question was when and thankfully we have seen him play exceptionally well in this game. Conditions were in his favour and it might be more testing, say, at Headingley in a couple of weeks time.We strongly believe he has a bright future in the game and we wanted to give him that extended run. Now that he has got a really good hundred hopefully he kicks on from there.The other plus point from Warwickshires view point was a century from Tim Ambrose, his first of the season after three consecutive fifties, which reinforced Browns optimism about his sides title challenge.Yorkshire got away from everyone last year but no one has this time and we are in a good position, he said. The side that wins will be the one that produces the strong finish to the season and we have a lot of guys in pretty good touch and as a team we know we are playing well.Hampshires wicketkeeper, Lewis McManus, standing up to Gareth Berg, executed a smart stumping to remove Trott and the young legspinner, Mason Crane, made a good impression in conditions that did not particularly help him. He was rewarded when Ambrose and Hain holed out within the space of four balls during Warwickshires chase for batting points.Having been 312-4 after 100 overs, Warwickshire added 86 in the final 10 yet Crane kept his discipline well. Rikki Clarke lofted a six off Liam Dawson from the penultimate delivery before handshakes were exchanged after the 110th over was completed. ' ' '
