Canterbury skipper James Graham has branded criticism of embattled countryman Gareth Widdop as unfair following St George Illawarras tumble down the NRL ladder.Dragons captain Widdop, his teammates, coach Paul McGregor and the clubs administration are all in the firing line in the wake of three straight losses which has seen them slump to 11th.Heavy defeats to Manly and Gold Coast and a meek effort against Wests Tigers on Sunday have raised questions over the quality of the Dragons roster, while their governance is being scrutinised with the club $7 million in debt.Graham defended his English teammates standing as a star player, brushing off suggestions the Dragons would be walkovers when they meet at ANZ Stadium on Friday night.Hes a great player isnt he? At least he is in my opinion, Graham said on Monday.Sometimes when your team isnt at where the expectation of fans and outside pressures are, the star players come in for some criticism and Gaz is a star player.It comes with the territory.McGregor has been forced to defend himself despite last year taking the club to the finals for the first time in four seasons.However the club has been lacklustre over past two months.Since round 12 they have recorded just three wins but they have either been against sides weakened by State of Origin - Melbourne and North Queensland - or last-placed Newcastle.They also have the second-worst for-and-against in the competition, behind only the Knights.When a journalist suggested to Graham that the Dragons were terrible, he said: I dont know about that. I dont think its great to play teams coming off a loss, especially ones that are fighting for finals.Theyre going to be highly motivated arent they. Especially with people like yourself saying things like that, its going to fire them up. So thanks for that mate. Tomas Nosek Golden Knights Jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. Mark Stone Golden Knights Jersey .

Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before. Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Alex Tuch Golden Knights Jersey . He says so-called TRT is only one problem and he wants to go even further than the ban. "Its about time," St-Pierre told reporters at a promotional event in Montreal on Friday. "I think its a good thing. The 2016 Olympic games are currently being held in Rio de Janeiro. Basketball, swimming, field hockey, archery, gymnastics ... the list goes on for the events currently going on in Brazil.Recently there has been talk of video games possibly being inserted into the list of Olympic events one day. Skateboarding and surfing were just accepted into the 2020 event held in Tokyo, after all. A majority, if not all the current stars of today in competitive gaming could be retired by the time that occurs.So I took it upon myself to create Olympic teams for the top nations in the most global competitive title, League of Legends. Ten players, two from each position, were selected for the teams. While there will be some snubs -- Korea just has too much talent -- hopefully this gives you a general idea of what could be possible in the future.South KoreaTop: Song Smeb Kyung-hoTop: Kim Ssumday Chan-hoJungle: Go Score Dong-binJungle: Yoon Peanut Wang-hoMid: Lee Faker Sang-hyeokMid: Song Rookie Eui-jinAD Carry: Bae Bang Jun-sikAD Carry: Kim Deft Hyuk-kyuSupport: Kang GorillA Beom-hyeonSupport: Cho Mata Se-hyeongThis isnt fair. This is ridiculous. All right, call off the Olympics, this was a goofy idea.You could split these teams into two, and theyd probably come close to sweeping every country in the world before facing off in a South Korea 1 vs. South Korea 2 final. You could conceivably put out a lineup of Smeb, Peanut, Faker, Deft and Mata, a starting five of arguably the best players at their position currently in the world.Oh, Faker doesnt feel like playing today and wants to water his plants instead of playing Belgium? Heres Rookie to fill in and destroy everyone. You could rotate Smeb and Ssumday. You could mix and match between the bottom lane components until you found the perfect pair.Overall, this is by far -- and I mean, by far -- the strongest country in the world. While other countries might be able to put up some sort of a fight, if a starting five could find chemistry between these 10 players, the gold medal would be assured.ChinaTop: Ke 957 Chang-YuTop: Li Flandre Xuan-junJungle: Ming Clearlove KaiJungle: Liu MLXG Shi-yuMid: Li Xiaohu Yuan-HaoMid: Su Xiye Han-WeiAD Carry: Jian Uzi Zi-HaoAD Carry: Han S1mLz JinSupport: Tian Meiko YeSupport: Jin Savoki HaoThis team was selected by League of Legends Pro League commentator Indiana Froskurinn Black.The possible front-runner for the silver medal, China possesses a talented squad even without the Korean players like Mata and Deft who star in the LPL. While there is a lack of depth to the roster when you compare it to the star-studded lineup of Korea, you still have strong positions like the jungle with Clearlove and MLXG, two of the best junglers in the entire world. Wed also get to see the partnership between Chinas best support, Meiko, alongside the two-time silver medalist at Worlds, Uzi from Royal Never Give Up.TaiwanTop: Chen Ziv YiTop: Chen Morning Kuan-TingJungle: Hung Karsa Hau-HsuanJungle: Chen REFRA1N Kuan-TingMid: Chu FoFo Chun-LanMid: Huang Maple Yi-TangAD Carry: Chang BeBe Bo-WeiAD Carry: Chen Dee Jun-DeeSupport: Hu SwordArt Shuo-JieSupport: Ceng Dreamer Jian-HongThis team was selected by League of Legends Master Series expert Xander Goomiho Torres.Wait a minute China -- Taiwan might have a team solid enough to rip the silver away from you.Although Taiwans depth is even shallower than Chinas, only five players can play at one time in League of Legends. A lineup of Ziv, Karsa, either the 17-year-old prodigy FoFo or experienced ace Maple, former world champion BeBe, and proven leader SwordArt could be strong enough to knock off any country on the planet not named South Korea. Karsa and Ziv, in particular, would benefit from being able to play with each other after years of being rivals on Flash Wolves and AHQ, respectively.United States of AmericaTop: Kevin Hauntzer YarnellTop: Samson Lourlo JacksonJungle: Joshua Dardoch HartnettJungle: William Meteos HartmanMid: Eugene Pobelter ParkMid: Hai Hai LamAD Carry: Yiliang Doublelift PengAD Carry: Zachary Sneaky ScuderiSupport: Zaqueri Aphromoo BlackSupport: Adrian Adrian MaLooking at the United States rroster, this is a pool of talent with the potential to be up there with China, Taiwan and others fighting for the silver medal.dddddddddddd. Hauntzer is on his way to being one of the better American top laners the region has ever produced, and the same can be said about Dardoch at the jungle position. Pobelter is coming off the best split of his career, and the bottom lane of the U.S. would be stacked with the potential return of the Rush Hour bottom lane between now-rivals Doublelift and Aphromoo.Hai is probably retired at this point after getting Cloud 9 Challenger to the NA League Championship Series for the next split, but hed come back for one more run to represent the red, white and blue at the Olympics in this what-if scenario.CanadaTop: Darshan Darshan UpadhyayaTop: Derek Zig ShaoJungle: Rami Inori CharaghJungle: Anthony Hard BarkhovtsevMid: Danny Shiphtur LeMid: Nicholas Ablazeolive AbbottAD Carry: Jason WildTurtle TranAD Carry: Johnny Altec RuSupport: Vincent Biofrost WangSupport: Andy Smoothie TaCanadas roster is interesting, albeit possibly a bit weak up the middle with Shiphtur and Ablazeolive both currently in the minor leagues. But a starting five of back-to-back league winner Darshan, Rookie of the Split contender Inori, Shiphtur, two-time NA LCS winner WildTurtle, and other Rookie of the Split contender Biofrost isnt shabby in the slightest.Youd get to see Shiphtur and Darshan play together, like in the old days on Dignitas, and wed get to see how former Team SoloMid AD WildTurtle meshes with TSMs new support in Biofrost. A best-of-five with the Americans, especially if Shiphtur could find his old form, would be a must-see event.DenmarkTop: Martin Wunder HansenTop: Mike Wickd PetersenJungle: Jonas Trashy AndersenJungle: Dennis Svenskeren JohnsenMid: S?ren Bjergsen BjergMid: Nicolaj Jensen JensenAD Carry: Jesper Zven SvenningsenAD Carry: Kasper Kobbe KobberupSupport: Nicolai Nisbeth NisbethSupport: Daniel Ernst Wendelbo WendelboWow, Denmark, youre scary. Not only does Denmark possibly the two best Western players in the world, Bjergsen and Zven, it has rising stars like Wunder to fill out the roster to give it an extra oomph.Trashy and Svenskeren are both strong junglers, and you could easily switch them out depending if you wanted to focus on top (Wunder and Trashy) or more likely mid (Svenskeren and Bjergsen). Support is easily the weakest link for this proposed Denmark squad, but just look at all that talent in the other four positions.FranceTop: Lucas Cabochard Simon-MesletTop: Paul sOAZ BoyerJungle: Charly Djoko GuillardJungle: Kévin Shaunz GhanbarzadehMid: Jérémy Eika ValdenaireMid: Tony ShLaYa CarmonaAD Carry: Pierre Steeelback MedjaldiAD Carry: Liv Hans StevenSupport: Bora YellOwStaR KimSupport: Hugo Dioud PadioleauI was left in another awkward position where a few of the positions were stacked (AD, top lane), but others, like the jungle, havent produced a lot of pro-gaming French talent. So, due to already being a head coach of a team in Team Vitality, Shaunz can pull double duty by being the substitute behind Djoko in the jungle. France is shallow in the jungle and mid, but the trio of Cabochard, YellOwStar and wunderkid Hans sounds interesting with sOAZ and Steeelback also able to start.BrazilTop: Felipe Yang ZhaoTop: Matheus Mylon BorgesJungle: Gabriel Revolta HenudJungle: Thúlio SirT CarlosMid: Murilo Takeshi AlvesMid: Gabriel Tockers ClaumannAD Carry: André esA PaveziAD Carry: Micael micaO RodriguesSupport: Luan Jockster CardosoSupport: Caio Loop AlmeidaThe final team on our list would also be the hosts if this hypothetical League of Legends tournament was hosted today in the Olympics. Brazil, always a favorite to make it out of the wild-card qualifiers, failed to make it to the Mid-Season Invitational against rivals Turkey, but INTZ, the winner of the most recent domestic league, will look to qualify for the upcoming World Championships. This team is full of INTZ players, with all five domestic winners in the 10-man Brazilian Olympic roster. ' ' '
