Penrith players have declared the tackle that ended Reagan Campbell-Gillards NRL season a cheap shot.The Panthers prop remains in hospital and will miss the teams finals campaign after suffering a broken back in a tackle from Gold Coast forward Ryan James on Saturday.He isnt expected back home until the end of the week.It was the second time in as many weeks James tackles ended an opposition players season, having broken Wests Tigers fullback James Tedescos jaw the previous weekend.James was charged but escaped a ban for the Tedesco incident while the match review committee deemed he had no case to answer over the Campbell-Gillard one.The Panthers were still furious when they returned to training on Tuesday.Yeah, 100 per cent it was a cheap shot, said winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak told AAP.Someone comes in like that, theyre going to hurt someone. I know a lot of the boys are filthy.Centre Tyrone Peachey was also fuming, arguing that Campbell-Gillard was unsighted and held in a tackle and so unable to brace himself for the impact and vulnerable to injury.He expects a rise in players targeting opposition players backs in when held in tackles.Its been happening all year and refs arent doing anything about it, Peachey said.Something needs to happen there. Having players out for the rest of the season is not a good look for the game.Theres going to be people flying in for the rest of the season. Hes out for the rest of the year now and hes a massive part of our team. This just cant be happening.Second-rower Isaah Yeo was one of several teammates to visit Campbell-Gillard in hospital after the game, and questioned why James got involved in the tackle.Reg thought the tackle was over and we all did as well, said Yeo.To come in late and hit him in the back when it wasnt expected, wasnt tensed up, you can really see where the problems are going to happen.Myself, I just try and pin the legs together so obviously all his weight goes over the top.I dont know what Ryan James is doing in there to be honest. There was already two up top and he went in up top as well, he went in hard above his bum. Yeezy Boost 350 Wholesale . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Australia . James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. http://www.wholesaleyeezy350australia.com/ . If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. Wholesale yeezy 350 australia . But the quarterback hopes to stay involved in football after officially calling it quits Tuesday. "Id love to look at those opportunities as they arise," Pierce said in an interview from his Winnipeg eatery. Yeezy Boost 350 Australia Sale . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After beginning their college careers on losing teams, Tennessees seniors would love nothing more than to finish up by playing for a Southeastern Conference championship.Those seniors still hope to reach that goal as they prepare for their final college home game Saturday against Missouri (3-7, 1-5 SEC).That would mean everything, defensive end Corey Vereen said.In order to get to Atlanta for a shot at the title, Tennessee (7-3, 3-3) must win its final two games and have No. 16 LSU defeat No. 21 Florida on Saturday. Tennessee plays at Vanderbilt next week in its regular-season finale.Tennessee isnt in control of its destiny, but the fact the Vols are even in contention for a division title in mid-November shows how far this program has come since these seniors enrolled.Theyve made a lasting impact on Tennessee football, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. We always talk about is Tennessee football better because you were a part of it. How have you impacted the football program? All these individuals have impacted the football program in a very, very positive manner.This senior class includes the first collection of players Jones recruited to Tennessee as well as four players who preceded the coachs arrival in Knoxville. Linebacker Kenny Bynum, tight end Jason Croom, defensive end LaTroy Lewis and defensive lineman Charles Folger are the lone fifth-year seniors who were part of Derek Dooleys last Tennessee team.Dooley was fired amid a 5-7 season in 2012. Jones and the other freshmen came aboard in 2013 when Tennessee again finished 5-7 for its fourth straight losing season.Tennessee went 7-6 in 2014 and 9-4 last season while winning bowl games each year. This season, the Vols were ranked as high as ninth before a three-game skid in October caused them to tumble out of the Top 25.The headline performers in this class are quarterback Joshua Dobbs, cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin.Dobbs has made 32 career starts while majoring in aerospace engineering. His accomplishments on and off the field have made him the face of Tennessees program.A lot of people said you cant go to college, cant play SEC footbball and major in engineering, (that) theres just not enough time in the day, Dobbs said.dddddddddddd. You cant do this and you cant do that. ... My message always has been, `Why cant I do that? Sutton, a starter since the opening game of his freshman season, is Tennessees career leader in passes defended and returned to action last week after missing six games with a fractured ankle. Reeves-Maybin led the Vols in tackles in 2015 and tied for the team lead in 2014 before season-ending shoulder surgery limited him to just four games this year.Tennessees fifth-year seniors encountered even more adversity as they dealt with consecutive losing seasons and a coaching change in their first two years on campus.They marvel at how much has happened since their arrival.We remember when we just moved into Gibbs (Hall), me and Jason were roommates together, Lewis said. We look over across the street and Gibbs is gone (it was demolished in 2014). Its a whole new building up. How things have changed over time, its really interesting to look back on.Those four fifth-year seniors have only made a combined seven starts this season, but theyve delivered quite an impact off the field. Lewis has started a local nonprofit organization aimed at mentoring and educating young people in the Knoxville area, while Folger volunteers at the Tennessee School for the Deaf in Knoxville.Tennessees seniors acknowledge Saturdays game will carry an emotional weight. Folger quipped that Im going to cry like a baby when he runs onto Neyland Stadiums field for the last time and is greeted by his family.But they dont want to get too nostalgic just yet. Theres too much at stake.We still have a lot of dreams and goals on the table, Dobbs said. We cant get caught up in too much of the emotion and be focused on this being our last (home) game. Weve still got to prepare and get ready to play a ballgame Saturday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
