Unbridled aggression almost got the better of Melbourne prop Nelson Asofa-Solomona in the Storms 16-10 NRL qualifying final win over North Queensland at AAMI Park.Returning from suspension after sitting out his sides minor premiership win over Cronulla a week earlier, the Kiwi international looked to have placed his entire finals campaign in jeopardy in the 59th minute.A late hit which appeared to take out the legs of North Queensland captain Johnathan Thurston gave away a penalty and gifted the Cowboys a much-needed opportunity to score and get back when they trailed by eight points at 14-6.Thurston was kicking down field at the 50m mark and flipped, falling awkwardly on his head after Asofa-Solomonas shot.The penalty and the ensuing set resulted in a try to winger Kyle Feldt in the corner and lifted the reigning premiers back into the tightly contested match, trailing 14-10.Thurston said he believed contact with his legs is what flipped him over in the tackle.I kicked (the ball) and Ive hit the ground and hes made contact with my legs which has flipped me over, Thurston said.If the match review committee deem it to be charged, it will be charged but its out of my hands.Cowboys coach Paul Green said he thought Asofa-Solomonas shot on his key playmaker was dangerous.It was pretty ugly and theyre the dangerous ones where you take the legs out, particularly of the kicker, Green said.However Storm coach Craig Bellamy did not think there was any malice in the tackle.It was probably a little bit late, but I dont know if (the penalty) was for tackling late, or tackling his legs but it looked like to me first contact was around his hips. It was a pretty tough penalty to be quite honest. Cheap Air Jordan 15 Free Shipping .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- For Russias swimmers, the Olympics is all about what might have been.Their haul of two silver and two bronze medals so far continues a 20-year wait for gold in the pool, even though they have matched their best in that time.The top Russians are now wondering what they could have achieved if their preparations hadnt been disrupted by the threat of doping bans.Of course youd like it to be better, Yulia Efimova said of Russias showing after winning the second of her silver medals Thursday.Efimova came close to missing the Rio de Janeiro Olympics altogether because of a 16-month ban she served after testing positive for a banned steroid in 2013 -- which she insists was all a mistake caused by failing to read the label on an over-the-counter supplement.The International Olympic Committee rule barring Russians with a previous doping ban from Rio was overturned last week, allowing Efimova to race, but she said the doping controversy had wreaked havoc on her preparations, and maybe deprived her of a gold medal.Im not in the form I would be in and could have been in, but I did everything I could, she said through tears after being booed by many in the crowd and losing out to Lilly King of the United States in Tuesdays 100-meter breaststroke. I really cant remember the last time I slept normally, even just more than four hours.Efimova was all smiles Thursday after another silver in the 200 breaststroke, but there was still a sense of opportunity missed.Looking back at what happened to me over that time, its a big step, the Russian said.dddddddddddd I cant say Im an iron person, its really not like that ... Ive got tears welling up all the time, and Im always trying to control myself, but Ive understood that I can do a lot.If Russias two silvers have come with a dose of controversy thanks to Efimovas past, its bronzes are signs of hope for the future, won by 19-year-old swimmers Evgeny Rylov and Anton Chupkov.Bronze in the 200 backstroke brought mixed emotions for Rylov, who said he could have won gold but for one poor turn, adding that the Russian team had never quite settled down in Rio.I dont think the results are that good, to be honest, he said. I noticed a lot of us found it hard to swim in the evenings, some of us werent quite awake.Freestyle swimmer Vladimir Morozov, who competed despite having been implicated in a World Anti-Doping Agency report into a massive cover-up of drug-test failures, was expected to make the podium and be a controversial medalist. That issue faded into the background as he failed to finish in top three in any of his events, lastly missing the final of the 50 free of Friday.Since a four-gold haul in Atlanta in 1996, Russia has gone without another Olympic title in the pool -- although Larisa Ilchenko was a champion in the open-water swim in 2008 -- and that run now seems set to continue beyond Rio, barring a big surprise in the final two days of competition.
