Freakish skill from all four wingersIm looking forward to the freakish things the wingers create in this game of football because it is very important to start their sets of six on a roll. I think its pretty important that these fours wingers play a major part in the outcome on Sunday. Whoever the best two are might also be from the team that wins the game.?Suliasi Vunivalu is the leading tryscorer and he jumped over?Sosaia Feki a few times the last time they met so I think well see a few kicks going to that edge close to the tryline. On the other Storm wing, Marika Koroibete runs extremely hard as does the Sharks Valentine Holmes and I think Feki is a very under-rated winger as well.We probably dont talk about wingers having a huge impact in games but I reckon wingers are more important than centres in the current climate and these four could go a long way to deciding who gets good field position, who scores a try and theyre often the guys that stop the tries.The Sharks in particular will have tough decisions to make because they wont want to kick the ball to Vunivalu or Koroibete on the full so they might be forced to kick it to Cameron Munster which means it goes down the middle of the field but if Im Cooper Cronk I want to kick it to Ben Barba so I can get hold of him and rough him up a bit.Front row battle will lay platform for victoryThe forward battle will be super important. Ill include Paul Gallen and Dale Finucane in that as well. Whoever wins the battle for the middle of the field will win the game. The Storm have got Jesse Bromwich, the best prop in the game, Finucane does a wonderful job and then Andrew Fifita and Gallen will match up against them.I just think it is so important in big games that the front row wins the play-the-balls, one out-muscles their opposing player and you just get a feeling that youre winning that battle of the middle and that leads to more momentum and thats where the tackle is won in the arm-wrestle.Sam Tagataese can play a huge role despite being out for several weeks. I think he just needs to play 20 minutes. If he can play 20 minutes then he is a big body thatll help enormously. I dont think Kurt Capewell will have great impact against the best wrestling side in the competition. The Sharks need big bodies and someone who can cause havoc for the last 15 minutes of the first half and 10 minutes of the second half and his job will be done.The Storm have the most athletic pack in the competition. Jesse Bromwich has great late footwork, Tohu Harris has great footwork, Kevin Proctor is a ball-playing edge backrower, Finucane carries hard and I think Jordan McLean will be an Origin player if not next year then the year after.Nelson Asofa-Solomona is a huge loss for the Storm. Both packs look so close on paper so the benches will have to make a fair impact and when they had Asofa-Solomona on the bench they had more impact than they get now.Whoever handles occasion best will win NRL Grand FinalCooper Cronk is the best big-game player in the world at the moment - 300 games last week, cool as a cucumber, scores a couple of tries, kicking game was wonderful while Cameron Smith, controls a game better than anyone.For the Sharks, James Maloney was great in game three of Origin, Chad Townsend last week came back from the worst feeling in the world for a footballer after being hooked mid-game, Michael Ennis has played Origin but its really important for the lesser-known players that havent been around this time of year before to step up.I think its probably about handling the build-up and the hype during the week as well. The Sharks had a fan day on Tuesday and the Shires gone totally crazy; its disruption to your normal preparation so the players need to be able to avoid getting excited and playing the game before it even starts.Its about handling the occasion, singing the anthem, soaking up the atmosphere and basically, can you do your job to the best of your ability on Sunday night. You only have to play to your best and youre likely to win. Most of the time I find sides lose Grand Finals rather than the opposition winning the Grand Final because they dont handle the occasion.The Storm are advantaged in this area because they are tucked away in Melbourne and all the media hype down their is around the AFL and having a Melbourne-based side in their big day. Craig Bellamy said the other day that it has been extremely quiet down there - they had a fan day but its madness in the Shire for the Sharks.In saying that, Im hoping and tipping Cronulla to win. I think its their turn, I think theyre due and I think theyve got the best roster theyve probably ever had. Ennis will retire and Gallen and Lewis will probably go next year so this opportunity may not come around again for a while.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Raul Mondesi celebrated an unforgettable 21st birthday.Mondesi had two infield singles, leading to four runs and two pitchers throwing errors -- plus a protest by the Los Angeles Angels -- as the Kansas City Royals rallied for a 7-5 victory on Wednesday night.Mondesi had a bunt single for his first big league hit, with two runs scoring on the play on pitcher Matt Shoemakers throwing error in the seventh inning.This one I enjoy, Mondesi said of his birthday. Playing with these guys, this is amazing.Shoemaker, who did not allow a base runner until the fifth inning, yielded singles to Alex Gordon and Paulo Orlando to start the seventh. Mondesi, called up Tuesday, put down a bunt and beat the throw to first as the throw by Shoemaker (5-11) sailed into right field.Both runners scored and Mondesi wound up on third.Thats part of my game, Mondesi said of bunting. I like it. I enjoy bunting and with that throw we score two runs.Angels manager Mike Scioscia came out claiming interference, that Mondesi was not running within the lines, and after a 6 minute, 15 second review the call on the field was not changed. Scioscia officially protested the game.Royals manager Ned Yost said there is no way the protest would be upheld.You cant protest a judgmental call, Yost said. Ive never protested a game. Ive never been part of a game that was protested.Scioscia had a completely opposite viewpoint, saying he is 100 percent certain the protest would be upheld.Its not a judgement call, Scioscia said. I would not have protested if I was not 100 percent correct on this. This is a misinterpretation of a rule. It was very clear. Phil Cuzzi, the home plate umpire, had Mondesi running inside the line in jeopardy the whole way, and stated that its okay because he was stepping back toward the bag, which is wrong.Jarrod Dyson rifled a triple to right, scoring Mondesi and making all the runs earned. Dyson scored on Alcides Escobars sacrifice fly.Mondesi added a run-scoring infield single in a two-run eighth. The second run scored on pitcher Jose Alvarerzs throwing error.Joakim Soria (4-4) pitched a scoreless inniing for the win after replacing left-hander Danny Duffy in the seventh.dddddddddddd Duffy allowed three runs on seven hits, while walking two and striking out five.Shoemaker was charged with five runs on eight hits in six-plus innings.Albert Pujols walked with the bases loaded with one out in the ninth and Andrelton Simmons singled in another run before Wade Davis struck out Jett Bandy to end the game.Gordon and Orlando each contributed three hits. Orlando had two doubles and a fifth-inning RBI.Jefry Marte had two doubles and a RBI for the Angels, while Johnny Giavotella had his second consecutive three-hit game.ROYALS MEETINGWith several Royals names surfacing in trade rumors, Yost addressed it in a team meeting. These guys are a real, real close group, Yost said. They know that this trade deadline (Monday) is bearing down on them. They dont want to see anybody leave that room. They want to see us all continue to stay together. Thats adding a little bit of anxiety and urgency to their game. But sometimes it can be a little too much. Theyre trying to make things happen, instead of letting things develop. Just catch your breath.OUTFIELD DEBUTGregorio Petit, who had only played the infield professionally, started in left field for the Angels. Were trying to get another right-handed bat in there and get Greg some at-bats, Scioscia said. Hes been working out there for the last two months.TRAINERS ROOMAngels: OF Shane Robinson (sprained right ankle) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday with Class-A Inland Empire in the California League.Royals: OF Lorenzo Cain (strained left hamstring) went 1 for 4 with a single and a strikeout while playing seven innings in right field.UP NEXTAngels: RHP Jered Weaver will start Thursday at Anaheim against the Red Sox, who will counter with LHP David Price.Royals: RHP Yordano Ventura, who lost to the Rangers on Saturday, will face them again Thursday in the opener of a four-game series at Arlington.
