There once was a time when James Tedesco wasnt the King of Campbelltown.Before the Camden product was burning NRL turf in the modern era, and after former Wests Magpie Jason Taylor was piloting conversions in a former one, there was a player from Minto that every kid wanted to be.That player, code-hopper Jarryd Hayne, on Saturday returns to his hometown for the first time in his NRL career when Gold Coast look to keep their season alive against Wests Tigers.Tigers winger David Nofoaluma remembers a time when every aspiring league junior in the area, including himself, had eyed Haynes every move, swerve, and even footwear.I remember going to get a pair of boots that he wore when I was only a youngster. You go to the store and you ask to get the Jarryd Hayne boots, Nofoaluma told AAP.Jarryds from Campbelltown, so he was one of the players you looked up to when I was a kid. To come in the NRL and even play against him was massive for me.Back in 2009, he was it. He was the man everyone wanted to be.Despite Haynes famous move to gridiron in 2014 that captured the imagination of the entire nation, his mantle as the most popular sportsperson in south-west Sydney was taken over by another local in Tedesco.Not only that, but some even consider the Tigers star the premier fullback in the league today, and wont simply hand back the NSW No.1 State of Origin jumper to its predecessor next year.Tedescos effort this year is reminiscent of Haynes unforgettable campaign in 2009, when he single-handedly dragged Parramatta to a fairytale grand final appearance with an unprecedented run of form.In Tedescos 16 games to Haynes 26 seven years ago, Tedesco has matched, or almost matched, the former Parramatta star in tries (14 each) and line break assists (Tedescos 10 to Haynes 11).However Haynes 178 tackle busts (89), 37 offloads (6) and 175 metres per game (135) proved that there is still some way for the 23-year-old Tedesco to go.On Saturday at Campbelltown Sports Stadium, the local products face off in what is arguably the most anticipated individual showdown of the NRL season.Theres a lot of kids out here that want to be the kind of player that Teddy is, Nofoaluma said.Stats say a lot of things, but I reckon Teddys actually got more to give. Hes got a long way to go and we havent seen the best of him yet. If he keeps this up, theres no telling what he can do.HAYNE 2009 v TEDESCO 2016Games: 26 to 16Tries: 14 to 14Points: 57 to 56Avg possessions: 28 to 23Avg runs: 17 to 13Avg metres: 175 to 135Tackle busts: 178 to 89Line breaks: 34 to 16Line break assists: 11 to 10Try assists: 19 to 10Offloads: 37 to 6Errors: 33 to 16Penalties conceded: 15 to 4Cheap Shoes From China .

WASHINGTON -- For a guy who was originally supposed to have the weekend off, Bryce Harper was pretty productive on Saturday. Harper drove in three runs after talking his way into Washingtons lineup, Ryan Zimmerman knocked in the go-ahead run and the Nationals rallied for a 5-4 win over the San Diego Padres. Adam LaRoche homered, and Denard Span and Ian Desmond added two hits apiece as the Nationals won their third straight and moved three games over .500 (45-42) for the first time since mid-May. Harper, who was named to the NL All-Star Team on Saturday along with starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann, texted Davey Johnson and lobbied for playing time earlier in the day after the Washington manager said Friday night that he was probably going to give the young slugger the weekend off. "In his text he said, Play me or trade me," Johnson said before the game. "And so since tradings out of the question I guess Im going to play him." Harper walked with the bases loaded in the third, hit an RBI single in the fifth and drove in the tying run in the seventh with a sacrifice fly. "Yeah, I mean I was pretty serious about what I said," Harper said of his text. "You know I want to play. I want to play every day and if he wants to put me in the lineup then I want to be in the lineup. And if he doesnt then Im going to try and make him put me in the lineup. "Its something that I want to do every day and Im going to grind through everything I do and play as hard as I can and good things happen." Since returning from the disabled list and homering in his first at-bat Monday night against Milwaukee, Harper had gone 0 for 19 before his RBI single. He was 0 for 4 with a sacrifice fly in Friday nights 8-5 win over San Diego. Jesus Guzman hit a three-run homer and doubled for San Diego, which has lost eight straight. The Padres went 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position Saturday. Ross Ohlendorf (2-0) got the win, Drew Storen pitched a scoreless eighth inning, and Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 24th save. Soriano allowed a pair of singles with one out, but retired pinch hitter Mark Kotsay and Everth Cabrera -- on a diving stop by LaRoche at first -- to end it. The Nationals trailed 4-3 when they came up in the seventh. Span and Desmond singled off reliever Nick Vincent (2-1) with one out, and left-hander Joe Thatcher came on to face Harper. After a wild pitch advanced both runners, Harper lifted a fly ball to left and Span scored easily after the catch to tie it. Zimmerman followed with a RBI single off Luke Gregerson to score Desmond with the go-ahead run. "Weve been playing better lately and obviously scoring runs later in the game and getting hits like that, so (weve) got to keep doing that and take it one game at a time slowly just kind of creep up," Zimmerman said.dddddddddddd Trailing 3-1 in the sixth, the Padres got one-out singles from Carlos Quentin and Chase Headley. Johnson lifted Jordan Zimmermann after he had thrown 101 pitches and brought in Ohlendorf to face Guzman, who deposited a 1-1 fastball in the Padres bullpen to give San Diego the lead. "I tell you, this game is weird," Guzman said. "Ive had three or four home runs to give us the lead, and weve lost. And we win the game (earlier in the season) at home when I get hit by pitch." Zimmermann, who was suffering from neck stiffness, allowed three runs and five hits in 5 1-3 innings, striking out four and walking one. "Its been going on for a little while, but Ill be fine," he said. "Today I was just deep in the counts and they were battling and made me work out there, and it was probably one of the hottest games Ive ever pitched in, so that definitely doesnt help." San Diego starter Jason Marquis went six innings, allowing three runs on eight hits. He struck out three, walked three and also contributed at the plate with a double and an RBI groundout. "Its not fun," Marquis said. "Especially after the hole we dug out of early. We put ourselves in a good position to stay in it." Washington took the lead in the third. Anthony Rendon led off with a single and Kurt Suzuki doubled him to third. Ryan Zimmermann struck out, but Span walked to load the bases. Desmond grounded into a fielders choice, with Rendon out at home, but Harper walked to make it 1-0. LaRoche made it 2-0 when he led off the fourth with his 13th homer of the season, a line drive into the Nationals bullpen. "That was a wild game," Johnson said. "We had chances to put Marquis out of his misery early and couldnt do it, but kept battling." San Diego got a run back in the fifth when Logan Forsythe walked and later scored on Marquis grounder to short. Washington got it right back when Span singled, stole second, went to third on a bloop single by Desmond and scored on Harpers single.
