Having spoken exclusively to Tottenham and England midfielder Dele Alli for Sky Sports, Geoff Shreeves gives his account of an afternoon spent in the company of the rising star. Im not going to lie, its going to be hard and its going to be a challenge. That was Dele Alli, in July 2015, when asked if he thought he would be sent out on loan or would possibly feature in the Tottenham first team squad.He totally understood the question mark over his immediate future having been loaned back to MK Dons for the last part of the 2014/15 season. Alli scored a fine goal on his England debut against France in November Since then he has made 30 Premier League appearances for Spurs, scored seven goals, made the same number of assists for Harry Kane, scored a wonder goal on his England debut, scored another wonder goal at Crystal Palace, been lauded by Sir Alex Ferguson, Roy Hodgson and Steven Gerrard among others. Hes also earned a new deal at his club, and is short odds to both start at Euro 2016 and be named Young Player of the Year. Fair to say the question mark has gone, and some.When I remind him of this quote he smiles broadly, as he does a lot during our interview. When you list everything that has happened to him in the last nine months, he confesses: Yes, it has been pretty crazy, a dream come true, it is one of those ones where I am still waiting to be woken up. Geoff Shreeves spoke exclusively to Dele Alli for Sky Sports Yet despite his meteoric rise, unparalleled in recent times, Alli is totally unfazed, and very much in an endearing way. Despite his youthful age, in some ways he was already a man when he arrived at Spurs, and the years he clocked up at MK Dons have served him well.His 10 bookings so far this season are down to two things. Aggression is an important part of my game and also you cant let opponents think you are some 19-year-old kid they can push around. Being in his company you get the sense that he takes absolutely nothing for granted but at the same time fervently believes that his success to date is entirely down to pure hard graft and an unshakable sense of belief in his own ability. Old Spurs boys to decide title? In a very unexpected title race, we look at five former Spurs men who can do their old club a favour He has that rare combination of supreme confidence without a single trace of arrogance. Absolutely none. He simply plays with no fear. Respect for opponents? Absolutely. Fear? Absolutely not.Alli is keen at every opportunity to praise and thank his Tottenham team mates and Mauricio Pochettino for helping him to get where he is now. In fact, not just thank, but make it abundantly clear that without them he would be nowhere near the heights he is currently enjoying. Eric Dier (centre) has acted as Allis big brother at Spurs this season With a huge grin he reveals how Eric Dier has taken it upon himself to be his big brother figure, and how there is zero chance of his success going to his head with Dier and other team-mates around.When speaking about the excitement surrounding his involvement with England and the Euros this summer, he does not get carried away, and is firm and rock solid in making sure he says if selected. So is there a single blot on the landscape? Anything that is spoiling his spotlight moment? Surely there must be a price to pay for all this heady success and adulation? There is; he cant wave at anyone anymore!It all started pre-match in the Capital One Cup last season between MK Dons v Manchester United when the camera was focusing on him. He waved, before doing something similar at training. Of course, it went all over social media with some quite magnificent memes. Now? I cant wave at anyone. If Im in the warm-up or around the ground and spot a friend, if I wave everyone thinks Im doing the wave!With Leicester playing Sunderland before them on Super Sunday, Spurs could take to the field against Manchester United with either the opportunity to close the points gap to four, or it could be standing at a daunting 10 before they have even kicked off. Two very different challenges, both with title-shaping consequences. Having spent time with Dele Alli, I cant imagine it will affect how he approaches the game.Watch the extended interview with Dele Alli on Sky Sports News HQ from 6am on Friday, as well as the written interview on SkySports.com platforms from 6am.

Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. A purple wall that has been near-impregnable all year stands between Cronulla and relief from 50 years of heartache.An analysis of the numbers points to a Melbourne victory in this years NRL grand final.According to Fox Sports Stats, of the last 10 premiers, six have boasted the best defence during the season.And that all bodes well for Craig Bellamys charges who not only conceded the least points in 2016 (12.5 per game), they led the league for completion rates (81.9 per cent), least handling errors (7.7), least linebreaks conceded (2.7) and least missed tackles (19.5).It all makes for impressive reading and retiring Sharks hooker Michael Ennis accepts no one plays percentage football like the Storm.The Storm have been the benchmark for the last decade in a lot of ways, Ennis said.The Storm, they dont beat themselves. Thats probably the ultimate accolade you can give them. Youve got to play well to beat them.While the Storm have been guilty of being predictable this year, stopping such a well-drilled outfit has proven more difficult and they are the only team not to lose back-to-back matches.The Storm do have chinks in thheir armour: they have conceded 32 of 55 tries on the extreme edges - the second biggest percentage of any side.ddddddddddddThe Sharks rely on their back three of Valentine Holmes, Sosaia Feki and Ben Barba for strike power and will expose any frailties along the Storms fringes.Holmes, 21, is fourth on the try scorers list with 19 four-pointers as well as being fifth for linebreaks.Barbas haul of 15 tries is the most since his Dally M season in 2012. He is also ninth for linebreaks (19) and seventh for try assists (21).However all of that will mean little if the likes of Gallen and Andrew Fifita (who are both equal third for most metres gained by a forward with an average 162m) do not find room up the middle.The forwa
