Luke Bateman started the year playing in front of only a few hundred people.So does the prospect of making his NRL finals debut with more than 28,000 watching on at GIO Stadium on Saturday faze him?Ill be fine, laughed the Canberra forward, who has become a first-team regular since being plucked from reserve grade in April.The Raiders are expecting a record turnout for their qualifying final against Cronulla, with almost all seats sold by Tuesday afternoon.So high was demand that the club decided to release a small number of standing room tickets.They are also exploring the option of adding temporary seating for the highly anticipated clash.Its the first time since 2012 the Raiders have hosted a qualifying final - which was also against the Sharks.They attracted 24,450 fans to that game, a couple of thousand short of the grounds rugby league record (26,746) set in their 2010 semi-final loss to Wests Tigers.Cross-code rivals the Brumbies have held the stadium record of 28,753 since their victorious 2004 Super 12 final.Its pretty exciting if anything - not daunting, Bateman said on Tuesday.Im not nervous. A home crowd, theyll be behind us so therell be plenty of support.Im pretty pumped up for it, actually.Batemans confidence is palpable across Raiders HQ, following the clubs run of 10 wins to secure second spot on the ladder and a home final.Winger Jordan Rapana said the expected crowd would have a massive impact on the team, who he believes have been feeding off the support.Our last home game against Parramatta, they eventually got us over the line, so having a big crowd supporting us will mean a lot, he said.Hooker Josh Hodgson will be among those experiencing NRL finals footy for the first time, after just two seasons in Australia.But the star rake is confident the outside pressure or hype about the Raiders title chances wont overwhelm him or his younger teammates including Bateman.I think theyll be absolutely fine, he said.Theyve got great guys around them and they know all they have to do is their job.It doesnt matter what game it is, whether youre playing for nothing or to win a comp, youve just got to do your own job every week and be consistent at doing that.David Wright Mets Jersey . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup.

Their experience showed Tuesday as the No. 10 Badgers blunted a Saint Louis surge to win 63-57 and advance to face West Virginia in Wednesdays finals of the Cancun Challenge. Tim Tebow Mets Jersey . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new. Todd Frazier Mets Jersey . Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year.After a back-and-forth dialogue about maintaining the competitive ecosystem in League of Legends between Riot Games cofounder Marc Merrill and Team SoloMid owner Andy Reginald Dinh, things have taken a sharp turn.Dinh announced on Twitlonger that he, along with several other team owners in the North American League Championship Series, have submitted a proposal to solve these problems. He ended the note with #LCSForever.Other teams and owners have tossed in their support for the hashtag.@TSMReginald Weve been rivals since the beginning.
