A hamstring injury to Johnathan Thurston has soured another emphatic home victory for North Queensland after their 36-0 NRL thumping of Canterbury in Townsville.Thurston starred as the Cowboys opened up a 20-0 lead over the Bulldogs after 45 minutes on Thursday night before the superstar playmaker was forced to leave the field. He didnt return.Clive Churchill medallist Thurston was confident the injury wouldnt leave him sidelined for long. However early indications were he could miss around two weeks.Its not too bad - it is just more of a precaution, Thurston told the Nine Network.I felt a twinge when I put in a grubber kick and, when I went to run, I couldnt accelerate.I should be right (for next week). It is just cotton wool.North Queensland didnt let up after Thurstons injury, piling on three more tries in his absence to embarrass the Bulldogs at 1300 Smiles Stadium in the opening game of round 20.Antonio Winterstein scored three tries for the home side, while Julian ONeill scored two, with Jason Taumalolo laying a tremendous platform up front.That was our most-complete performance of the year, Cowboys coach Paul Green said.Defence is the hardest part of the game to get right and I was pleased with that tonight.On Thurstons injury, Green said: It wasnt one of those gunshot ones.We have a long turnaround. He was upbeat. A win always helps. Hopefully, he will be alright.The loss throws doubt on the Bulldogs premiership claims, after they came into the match on the back of four straight wins. The visitors were outclassed across the park in a match they will want to quickly forget.Dogs coach Des Hasler was scathing of his side.We were dreadful, he said.It was disappointing, no doubt about it. There were just too many unforced errors.It was poor execution from us and we paid the price. We will take the opportunity to learn some lessons from it.The win consolidates premiers North Queenslands spot in the top four, while Canterbury could slip below that if results go against them during the remainder of round 20.The Cowboys opened with two tries in the first eight minutes through Winterstein to set up an early 12-0 lead and never looked back.Javid Bowens four-pointer in the 24th minute gave North Queensland a 16-0 halftime lead and, when Justin ONeill scored in the 45th minute, the match was all but over.Ethan Lowe, ONeill and Winterstein only added to the Bulldogs woes, all crossing for tries as Thurston sat sidelined with ice strapped to his leg.Canterbury completed at just 63 per cent, making a number of uncharacteristic errors in the North Queensland humidity.It just wasnt there for us tonight, Bulldogs playmaker Josh Reynolds said.The Bulldogs are the third side North Queensland have kept scoreless in Townsville this year, alongside the Sydney Roosters and St George Illawarra.The Cowboys have outscored opposition teams 303 to 108 in their unbeaten nine home matches in 2016.

Air Max 270 React Grise Air Max 270 Flyknit Noir Et Blanche Pas Cher . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over . ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- So long as he can practice, LeSean McCoy believes he can play.And that held true Thursday, when the Buffalo Bills running back tested his injured left hamstring in practice before announcing he expects to play at Seattle on Monday night.I felt good. Mentally, I feel great, McCoy said. So Im ready to roll.The practice session was Buffalos first this week, and McCoys first time back on the field since aggravating the injury in a 28-25 loss at Miami on Oct. 23, four days after he was hurt. Though he doesnt regret pushing himself to play against Miami, McCoy noted the lack of practice time leading up to the game contributed to his poor production. He managed just 11 yards on eight carries, plus a 2-yard catch, before being sidelined in the third quarter.Its one thing to watch tape and dissect a team. Its another to actually do that and also prepare for the defense were going to face, McCoy said. I feel a lot better today than in the past.And McCoy dismissed the notion of the benefit he might get in giving his hamstring two more weeks of rest, considering the Bills enter their bye week off after playing the Seahawks.Nah, weve got to win this game, he said. Thats what matters most right now. If I cant go, I cant go. But right now I feel good, and Ive got a lot more days left until the game.The prospect of getting their top offensive threat back is good news for the Bills (4-4) in attempting to snap a two-game skid while dealing with a rash of injuries at receiver.Starter Sammy Watkins is out with a left foot injury. No. 2 receiver Robert Woods is playing despite an injury to his left foot. And speedster Marquise Goodwin returned to practice Thursday after missing the past week while being evaluated for a concussion. Brandon Tates status is also uncertain because he is in the NFLs concussion protocol after being hurt iin a 41-25 loss to New England on Sunday.ddddddddddddhe Bills were so desperate for receivers, they lured Percy Harvin out of retirement on Tuesday. Coach Rex Ryan hasnt ruled out Harvin from playing against the Seahawks even though he hasnt played since Buffalos 14-13 win at Tennessee on Oct. 11, 2015.When healthy, McCoy has been Buffalos top offensive threat this season. He leads the team with 598 yards rushing and is tied for fifth in the NFL with seven touchdowns, including one receiving.McCoys impact is particularly notable when comparing the Bills four wins and losses.In four victories, Buffalos rushing attack has combined for 847 yards and eight touchdowns. In four losses, the ground game has totaled 385 yards and six scores.Any time you get one of the best playmakers in the NFL back, thats valuable to the team, center Eric Wood said. But we want him to be healthy, too, so well see how the week shakes out.Quarterback Tyrod Taylor could certainly use some reinforcements. Hes coming off two losses in which he has combined to go 33 of 66 for 404 yards and a touchdown.It definitely brings another dynamic to our offense, Taylor said.Not all the news was promising on the injury front.Starting defensive tackle Marcell Dareus playing status is uncertain because of a groin injury he sustained against New England. Its the latest setback to a player who opened the season serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy, and then missed the next three games with a hamstring injury.Man, if its not one thing, its another, Dareus said.As for the chances of him playing Monday, Dareus said: Its to be determined right now.---AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
