Dylan Hartleys conduct as England captain must count in his favour when considering his future in the post, according to the Rugby Football Union.Hartley faces an independent disciplinary hearing on Wednesday to answer for the third red card of his career after being sent off for tackling Sean OBrien from behind with a swinging arm in Northamptons defeat by Leinster.Champions Cup organisers confirmed on Tuesday that the 30-year-old hooker has been charged with striking, entailing a five-week suspension for a mid-range offence and eight weeks if the infringement is considered high-end.Hartley has an appalling disciplinary record comprising of 54 weeks of bans for offences including biting, gouging and butting, a track record that is sure to result in an increase to the sanction imposed.RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie, however, has been impressed by way he has led England during the 13 successive Test victories completed this year and insists the decision of who leads the team ultimately rests with head coach Eddie Jones.Dylan has clearly played a fantastic part in captaining the team, on and off the pitch just to be clear, Ritchie said.His leadership credentials are very strong. Hes made a huge contribution, as Eddie would say.So you view all these things in perspective and in perspective one looks at the totality of what hes done and whats happened over the years and I think we should be supportive of that.Ultimately well see what happens -- Im not going to talk about the disciplinary process as you know. That will take its course and well see what happens out of that.If hes eligible for selection its ultimately a matter for Eddie, but we should recognise and support all that Dylan has done in the last 12 months.It is primarily a matter for Eddie and if you look back over it, Eddies judgement has been really good. We should recognise that and Im sure we will. Darrell Green Redskins Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Terry McLaurin Youth Jersey . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. https://www.redskinssportsgoods.com/Womens-Doug-Williams-Inverted-Jersey/ .

Its the daunting statistic on late-season momentum casting doubt over Canterburys NRL title push.The Bulldogs go into Fridays last round clash with South Sydney desperate to ignite their run, with history showing they shape as sitting ducks unless they get cracking before the finals.After two straight losses - and staring down the barrel of three consecutive defeats for the first time since early last season - the Dogs have been spluttering when they need to be surging, slipping out of the top four.In the 109-year history of the competition, no side has ever lost their last three regular season matches and won the premiership, according to Fox Sports Stats.While the 1966 Balmain side lost their last three and went on to make the grand final, they fell at the last hurdle against St George.Canterbury coach Des Hasler knows plenty about getting teams into the finals, having achieved the feat in his last 12 seasons as head coach at Manly then the Bulldogs.He admits concern about his sides poor ball control and other simple errors which have cruelled them over the last month.Momentum is important. This game is about getting the little things right, Hasler said.(Their mistakes) have been pretty fundamental and we need to correct that.Its not frustrating but its a critical part that we need to fix.While the Dogs will have to buck history if they lose to the Rabbitohs, Hasler - who secured two premierships from three grand finals with Manly and two grand final appearances in four years with the Dogs - has proven himself as a man who can spark his side.dddddddddddd.In 2014, the Bulldogs lost six of their last eight regular season games, including their last two, before they went on a finals run and met the Rabbitohs in the grand final.Hasler also took Sea Eagles to the 2007 grand final after they lost two of their last three regular season games.In his element as finals near, Hasler reckons 2016 has provided a particularly close competition.Its exciting this time of year, he said. Its been one of the closest I can remember in sorting out a top eight.Hasler is also wary of the momentum South Sydney have gathered while winning their last three matches in an otherwise forgettable season.Theyre pretty mobile, theyve got some handy players in there so I imagine their motivation is to finish the season on a high, Hasler said.Halfback Moses Mbye has been cleared to take on the Rabbitohs despite requiring stitches after a training mishap when he collided with Michael Lichaa during the week.STATS THAT MATTER* Canterbury won the Good Friday clash but have not won both regular season matches against the Rabbitohs since 2011.* The past two matches between Souths and the Bulldogs have both been high scoring with at least 50 points scored in each.* The Bulldogs are ranked equal second for the least amount of missed tackles (21.4 per game).Source: Fox Sports Stats ' ' '
