Desperate Cronulla veteran Paul Gallen will look to overturn a miserable losing record when he renews hostilities with long-time nemesis Cameron Smith in this years NRL grand final.Not only is the Sharks skipper burdened by the clubs 50-year wait for its maiden premiership, but Gallen also hasnt tasted victory over Smith at club level since 2008.Gallen was missing in Cronullas only two wins over the Storm in that 13-game period, adding to Smiths dominance over the retired NSW captain at State of Origin level.The ill-feeling was only enhanced when Gallen was upset by Maroons players breaking out in Queenslands victory song after a Kangaroos win in 2012.But the Sharks star will on Sunday get a supreme chance to get one over his Melbourne counterpart in a calendar year where tension between the arch rivals hit new heights.It was only in July when the Maroons labelled Gallens post-Origin snub of Smiths victory speech as disrespectful.Its something our team wouldnt do, Smith said at the time.We didnt walk away (when NSW won in 2014). We made a point of staying there for Pauls speech and him lifting the shield.Smiths Storm booked a grand final date with the Sharks after edging out Canberra on Saturday night, but Smith only had nice things to say about the Sharks leader.I always enjoy playing against Gal. I see him a bit because we play in the middle, he said.Im pleased for Gal. He has waited a long time for this. He works hard every time he pulls on the jersey. He has given a lot to the Cronulla club over many years.Smith has won 27 of his 40 career games against Gallen at either Origin or club level, however hasnt lost to the back-rower in a Sharks jumper in nine games dating back to 2008.

Maro Itoje may be one of English rugbys most instantly recognisable figures, but he is still able to pass incognito among classmates at university.Itoje is studying politics and development and politics in Africa in the final year of a politics degree at SOAS University in central London, spending Tuesdays and Fridays in lessons.Despite being an ever-present for double-winning Saracens last season and a key figure in Englands Grand Slam march and series whitewash in Australia this year, the 21-year-old is able to attend lectures unnoticed.I dont think a lot of my classmates know who I am, Itoje said. My university experience is a little bit different to the standard students. I can be fairly discreet because only some lecturers and tutors know who I am.It makes life a little bit easier. I dont mind it -- its quite nice to go incognito for a while. Im in my final year now, I did my first two years full-time, but I had to split my last year over two.
