ces on residency grounds before Eddie Jones persuaded him

The best personnel play on the best teams and after four weeks of football it is pretty easy to accurately diagnose who has the highest quality roster. 1. Saskatchewan RoughridersWhen you beat a team 37 to 0 you really make a statement of how good you are right now. That is what happened Sunday night in Regina and when the Riders play Hamilton again on Saturday it will probably happen again. Not necessarily 37 to 0 but as long as the Riders stay humble they could be 5-0 heading into the Bye week. There are many good stories of players playing well but how about Rob Bagg as a receiver and his two big-time touchdown pass receptions? When a player has an ACL injury it is a career threatening situation. Rob Bagg had two and what is so unique is he had one on each knee. The fact that the Riders did not give up on him says a lot about an organization that is on top of its game. 2. BC LionsYou knew the Lions would start winning and beating the Eskimos for the second time in two weeks brings them to 3-1 with extended time to get ready for the Argonauts. The Lions are an example of the "continuity wins" attitude. They draft players and sign players and keep them for their best years. And yes, they get rid of them pretty quick when their best years are behind them. Matt Norman at center and Kirby Fabien at guard have been the two most pleasant surprises so far this season and really the only surprises. Every other position has a status of experience and ability and after a tough start in Calgary the BC Lions are back as a West contender. 3. Calgary StampedersI think the best example of excellence in personnel management is the story of Brad Sinopoli, former quarterback and now effective receiver. Most of the time when a player can crack a starting roster at his original position, thats it. Not much of a future. You have to give compliments and credit to the organization for recognition of the possibility of an effective change and for Sinopoli himself for humbling his own ego and attitude and giving it a shot. It is not realistic to think Brad Sinopoli is going to catch 100 passes over a football season but he gives the Stampeders flexibility in the ratio which is as important to master as any aspect of football. Then how about quarterback Drew Tate, Kevin Glenn and now Bo Levi Mitchell? All three can play and play well and Calgary has the best depth of any team at the most important position. 4. Montreal AlouettesThats right, Montreal. Their 1-3 record is not due to poor players it is due to an offensive staff that has not been able to re-ignite confidence with an entire offence. Montreal will start winning games, it is just a matter of time. But it will be a painful process of development to watch as July turns into August. Their best surprise player, easy, has been their starting free safety Mike Edem out of the University of Calgary. It allowed Montreal to move Kyries Hebert closer to the line of scrimmage and be involved more play after play. Montreal will turn this around because they have the players to do it. The next four are all kind of lumped together but I will say... 5. Toronto ArgonautsThe health of Ricky Ray will determine success or failure and from the outside looking in he should be okay as he was able to walk off the field after being hurt during a sack on Friday. Eight new players on defence is a lot to adjust to. Teams often complain if they have two players they need to educate. But logic says it will turn around for success as it did last year. The Argos have two names to watch out for: Janzen Jackson, first-year defensive back and Jamie Robinson first-year cornerback. They play side-by-side and if they develop with Matt Black as a free safety Toronto will continue its winning ways. I still think they need an impact receiver but then again when your quarterback goes 19-of-20 and could have gone 20-of-20 if not for a drop you know where your strength is. Not sure how this season is going to play out in Toronto. Again, I can go three different ways here but I will say... 6. Edmonton EskimosMike Reilly. Statistically not very good but he does have moments. The two offensive tackles are key - Thaddeus Coleman on the left and Cliff Louis on the right. If they can develop into solid players they will help the quarterback situation more than anything else. Both have immensity and fluidity at 68" and 300+ lbs. but have to become "every down" performers. I think Edmontons best games will be in September and October and I hate saying this but July and August is a giant experiment. Edmonton is not a bad team, more of a complete unknown in many positions, starting at quarterback. 7. Hamilton Tiger-CatsThe biggest surprise for me has been Greg Ellingson. Nothing spectacular but very sound. 63", 197 lbs with a nice arm length, Ellingson can do this for years to come if he so desires. He is a great example of a guy who fits. Fits the league and style of play. Hamilton needs a cover linebacker and although improving a dominant pass rushing defensive end. But in what always makes football so interesting for me, they are not that far off. Most interesting player to me? Cornerback Raymond Brown. Big 63" cornerback from a good Kansas program and if he can be that big "match-up on the tallest receiver" player, its a definite step forward for the Ticats. 8. Winnipeg Blue BombersTough time. The need to stay healthy is so important because as starters the Bombers can compete with anybody but the depth is not there. There are 13 players on the injured reserve list for Winnipeg. Thirteen, and it is only Week 5. Without these names: Poblah, Matthews, Garrett, Douglas, Watson, Gilmore, Turner, Parker and my favourite left tackle, Tyson Pencer. If the Bombers had these players back they could best any given team on any given day. But without them it will be a long season at Investors Group Field. Nike Air Max Axis Baratas .

Ben Teo has revealed it was a conversation with Australia star Israel Folau that gave him the belief to cross codes and pursue an international career with England.Teo made his Test debut off the bench in Saturdays 37-21 victory over South Africa and is poised to win a second cap when Fiji visit Twickenham this weekend in the second of four autumn internationals.Born in Auckland but moving to Australia when he was 17, he grew up playing both codes of rugby but it was league that claimed his allegiance and he went on to make eight State of Origin appearances for Queensland.Folau had already made the transition when the two shared a house together for five months in Sydney and it was the brilliant Wallabies full-back who ultimately convinced his former Brisbane Broncos team-mate to switch codes.I was living with Israel Folau at the time, we were living in Kensington. I was at Souths and he was at Waratahs, Teo said. I was feeling a little bit stale and asking myself some questions and I bounced it off him a little bit.I said Im 27, do you think its too late?. He said No, no its not too late. I asked if he thought that I would be alright or is it too hard? He said No I think that you can do it. Hes someone that gave me a lot of confidence to give it a go. I left the door open when I first came because I didnt know what would happen. If I had left it too late annd I just wasnt on everyone elses level I would have gone back.ddddddddddddhe initial part was hard but then I really started to enjoy the game and fall back in love with it. The World Cup was a really big thing for me. I watched every game and really enjoyed it as a spectator.I started getting the love back. And then I shut the door - there was no way I was going back.Teos first union club was Leinster, and Ireland were hoping to eventually secure his services on residency grounds before Eddie Jones persuaded him to opt for England, an act made possible through his mothers heritage.The first thing I decided was wanting to play rugby union. Obviously my time in rugby league was fun but I was looking for something else, Teo said. I had some questions myself, such as if I had stayed in union as a kid would I have made it? Would I have been a good player? I needed to answer those questions myself.The opportunity to play union took me to Ireland, thats where I played and then a chat with Eddie. A chat about if I got myself over to the Premiership I would have an opportunity if I played well to put myself in the system and thats how it came along. I obviously knew being eligible and having a passport, it was just the way that it went! ' ' '
