Coach Shane Flanagan has identified stopping rampaging North Queensland back-rower Jason Taumalolo as key to Cronullas chances of progressing to the NRL grand final.The Sharks recognise that the defensive disruption caused by Taumololos bullocking charges so often gives master playmaker Johnathan Thurston added space to work his magic for the defending champions.If they can blunt Taumololo in Friday nights preliminary final at Allianz Stadium they will go a long way to advancing to their first premiership decider in a unified competition in almost 40 years.But thats no small task with Taumololo coming off his man of the match performance in the epic semi-final win over Brisbane and being named the NRLs best player in 2016 as voted on by his peers.He is playing some great footy, Flanagan said at the Sharks captains run on Thursday.We need to get up on him, we need to cut his time down so he is not coming at us, we are going at him.But that is a challenge in itself, the play the ball before cant be quick and we cant be sitting on our heels.He is a big man coming at you with speed and footwork. You need to be going at him rather than have him coming at you.Veteran Sharks skipper Paul Gallen , who will return from a back injury on Friday, has been mentioned as the player responsible for stopping his opposing lock Taumalolo. But Flanagan insisted it needed to be a team effort.It is everyones job, he said.He will carry the ball in the middle and carry it towards our edges sometimes. It is up to our whole forward pack to stop him.Sharks forwards Sam Tagataese and Joseph Paulo did not take part in the captains run and will miss the clash as their recoveries from respective shoulder and knee injuries continue.If the Sharks make the grand final, Flanagan said Tagataese and Paulo would be available.Cowboys co-captain Thurston has recovered from the illness he took into the win over Brisbane and centre Kane Linnett returns from a hamstring injury.Linnets return Javid Bowen to the wing and pushes Kalyn Ponga out of the visitors side.Cowboys coach Paul Greens major concern is how his players have recovered from their extra-time win over Brisbane as they face a Sharks team that earned an extra weeks rest.I think its probably more physical, mentally the boys are good, Green said in Sydney on Thursday.Theyre excited about playing this time of year but no doubt Friday nights game, it was 90 minutes and pretty epic, it took a fair it out of them.We wont really know how theyve responded until we get to the game. At this point in time weve managed the week really well and the boys are feeling pretty good at this stage.Flanagan backed out-of-sorts halfback Chad Townsend to bounce back from being substituted in the qualifying win over Canberra.KEY STATS* The Sharks have struggled with the Cowboys in the past six seasons, winning just five of 14 matches since 2011, although three of those wins have come in the past five games.* The Cowboys make more metres than any other team in the competition (1524 per game), while conceding the third fewest (1365 per game).The Sharks make the third most metres (1494 per game) and concede the fewest (1316 per game).* The Sharks have an unhappy record in grand final qualifiers, winning just one of nine since making the 1978 grand final, the 1997 Super League preliminary final against Canberra.* The Cowboys have a horrible finals record at Allianz Stadium.

PHOENIX -- Another big hit in a breakout season for Paul Goldschmidt. The Arizona slugger homered to the opposite field with one out in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 5-4 victory over the New York Mets Friday night. Goldschmidts 27th homer, his second game-winner of the year, came on a 1-1 pitch from Scott Atchison (2-1) after the Mets had rallied from a two-run deficit. "He got ahead with his slider and missed with a curveball," Goldschmidt said. "He threw another slider. Luckily it was up and I was able to hit it out of there." Atchison said it was just a bad pitch. "I threw him a good one on the first pitch he took and tried to duplicate that again," he said. "Rushed it, whatever, it just wasnt a good pitch and he is a good hitter." Brad Ziegler (5-1) pitched an inning of scoreless relief for the win. The Mets Marlon Byrd was thrown out at the plate trying for an inside-the-park home run in the second inning. Patrick Corbin, looking for his 13th win, left with a 4-2 lead after six but the Mets scored twice off Heath Bell in the eighth to tie it, ending the relievers string of 11 straight scoreless outings. Atchison, the Mets sixth pitcher of the night, retired Martin Prado to start the ninth. But Goldschmidt took him deep to right field, clearing the fence as Arizona improved to 3-0 to start an eight-game homestand. Goldschmidt didnt have a game-winning hit until this season. Now he has three, two of them home runs. The homer boosted his NL-leading RBI total to 91. He was doused with water as he approached home plate to be mobbed by his teammates. "Oh, its fun," he said. "It doesnt matter if its you hitting it or a teammate hitting it, you get an opportunity to win the game there in the ninth inning or extra innings or whatever it is, its a lot of fun. Hopefully we can do it a few more times." The Mets Justin Turner had three RBIs on two singles and a groundout, giving him 10 RBIs for the season. Consecutive two-out doubles by Corbin, Adam Eaton and Prado put Arizona up 2-1 in thhe fifth.dddddddddddd New York tied it in the sixth, but in the bottom half of the inning, Wil Nieves double brought in two runs to give the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead. Corbin, 0-2 in his last three starts, allowed two runs and four hits in six innings, walking two and hitting two batters. He also had a wild pitch that led to a New York run. "You saw him miss up and away a lot," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "His changeup was the same. He didnt have a good slider like he has in the past but he battled. We got though six. Its a shame he didnt get the win. " Leading off the second, Byrd hit one deep to right centre, where the ball careened off the porch that extends a few feet over the field. The ball bounced all the way back to left centre. When left fielder Prado finally chased it down, Byrd was motoring around third. Prado fired to Aaron Hill, whose perfect relay home was just in time for the catcher Nieves to tag Byrd despite the Mets sluggers head-first slide. It would have been Byrds first career inside-the-park homer. Hill also threw out Juan Legares trying to stretch a double to a triple with a relay throw from right fielder Cody Ross to end the seventh. Arizona broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth after Hill singled and Ross doubled to put runners at second and third with no outs. Nieves doubled down the left-field line to bring both runners home, giving the Diamondbacks a 4-2 lead just as Corbin left the game. In the eighth, Bell gave up singles to Daniel Murphy, Byrd and Josh Satin to load the bases with no outs. Groundouts by Turner and Wilmer Flores each brought home a run to tie it at 4 before John Buck bounced out to strand Satin at third. Notes: Byrd needs one home run to reach 100 for his career. ...
