Penrith centre Tyrone Peachey concedes Canberra counterpart Joey Leilua is arguably the hardest player to tackle in the NRL right now.The makeshift three-quarter will face off against the in-form Leilua when the Raiders host the Panthers in Saturdays mouth-watering semi-final at GIO Stadium.And the 25-year-old admits hell have his hands full taming the Canberra bull.That left edge is going to be a tough ask, trying to defend BJ. Im just going to try and do my best job because hes been running rampage over everyone, Peachey told AAP.(Leilua and winger Jordan Rapana) have been killing it all year.Asked if Leilua was the most difficult player to take down in the NRL, Peachey said: Probably, but I havent played him while Ive been in the centres yet.Leilua and Rapana have arguably been the leagues hottest backline duo this year, racking up a combined 32 tries for the leagues most potent attacking team.Both players are considered strong contenders to take out the Dally M centre and wing awards at the prestigious end-of-season gala night in grand final week.However, Penrith pair Josh Mansour and Peachey could also lay claim to similar honours for contributions to their sides six-game winning streak that has thrust them into title contention.They boast one more line break than their Canberra counterparts, and also almost match them for tries.However, Rapana and Leilua have combined for almost 70 more tackle busts.Mansour was confident he and Peachey, who only switched to the centres in round 11 following a season-ending injury to Peta Hiku, could hold their own against their more heralded opponents.The pair were instrumental in the Panthers elimination final win over Canterbury on Sunday, scoring one try each, running a combined 364 metres and busting 12 tackles.Leilua and Rapana have been having a great season together on that edge. Its going to be a big challenge. But me and Peach, well step up for next week and hopefully do a good job on them, Mansour said.RIGHT-WING RAIDERS v LEFT-WING PANTHERSJordan Rapana and Joey Leilua* 32 tries* 38 line breaks* 251 tackle bustsJosh Mansour and Tyrone Peachey* 28 tries* 39 line breaks* 188 tackle bustsWholesale RB Sunglasses .

I dont think the USGA likes when we shoot 8-under on their golf course. You have to expect it to change, and if it doesnt, then youll have opportunities to score.The play got much tougher in the afternoon when the wind picked up and only 14 players were under par, led by Amy Yang who birdied 18 to move into a three-way tie for second at -5 with Kerr and Minjee Lee.None of the players in the marquee group that featured three of the top four players in the world in Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and Lexi Thompson could break par. Ko birdied her final hole at No. 9 to finish the day 1 over, one shot ahead of Thompson and three in front of Henderson.Those three will need to do plenty of work to catch Lee.I dont know what course she played, maybe the ladies tees, maybe a different course, Ko said. But she played fantastic. We were checking the leaderboard, she made two bogeys and still shot 8-under. Its very impressive. She must have hit a lot of fairways and made good putts. I think obviously thats the key.Lee is the first woman to shoot that much below par at the U.S. Open since Lorie Kane and Becky Iverson did it in the second round in 1999 at Old Waverly in Mississippi. The lowest total score in a round in U.S. Open history iis a 63 by Helen Alfredsson in 1994 at the par-71 Indianwood in Michigan.ddddddddddddLee capped her record day with birdie from about 8 feet on her final hole at the par-5 ninth.The course is perfect now, Mirim Lee said. Greens are really fast.Kerr, playing in the same group with Lee, nearly matched her stroke for stroke with players standing 3-under through their first 11 holes. But Lee birdied five of her final seven holes, while Kerr had three birdies and a bogey down the stretch as a gap opened between the two.Despite that, Kerr was quite pleased with how her round went considering the way she has played most of this year. The 2007 U.S. Open winner has not finished higher than 10th all season and missed two cuts in her three tournaments leading into this week.But with a new shaft on her driver, Kerr found her game in the opening round.When youre struggling to hit fairways, it makes the game a lot harder, Kerr said. And then the mental game gets off of it, its a whole process like that. But I knew when I found the driver this week that it just felt so much like my old driver and we found the right combination and even if I missed a little bit I could feel what I did wrong, I could feel the difference.Kelly Tan, Brittany Lang and Anna Nordqvist were tied with Yang four shots back at 4-under. Nordqvist hit all 18 greens in regulation, the first time that has happened at the U.S. Open since the statistic started being tracked in 1986. Sydnee Michaels, Moriya Jutanugarn and Eun Hee Ji were all at 3 under.So Yeon Ryu, the 2011 U.S. Open winner, shot a triple-bogey eight on her final hole at the ninth to fall from 4-under to 1-under.Defending champion In Gee Chun, followed by about a dozen members of the Flying Dumbo fan club wearing shirts that Chun designed, hit back-to-back bogeys on the front nine and finished 1 over. Chun is seeking to become the eighth player to repeat as U.S. Open champion and first since Karrie Webb did it 15 years ago. ' ' '
