Jamie Whincup has stolen a march from Shane van Gisbergen at Pukekohe Park, beating home his title rival in the opening race of the Supercars meet.Whincup jumped van Gisbergen from the line and raced away to head a Red Bull Racing one-two, despite a safety car restart owing to Jason Brights high-speed crash.As hes done so many times through his career, the six-time champion executed the most crucial part of the race - the start - and then used the speed of his Red Bull Commodore to power away.The car was quick. Well keep tuning it up and keep moving forward as the races go on, Whincup said.In winning, Whincup cuts the Aucklanders championship lead to 142 points with five races remaining in the season.The pair will start from the front row again in Saturdays second race, beginning 2:45pm (AEDT).The field could be a car down for the rest of the weekend after Brights second-lap brouhaha with Chris Pither, which brought a red flag.Pither, who was served a drive-through penalty for the incident, bumped Bright into the grass at 180km/hr and into the crash barrier leading to the pit lane entryBright was able to walk away from crash but its unclear whether his pit team will be able to restore his Holden for the rest of the weekend.I copped a pretty big whack in the right rear, well see what the guys can salvage, he said.There was further action down the field when James Moffat re-entered the track in front of Dale Wood, blunting his bonnet in the process.In a race largely devoid of overtaking, Scott McLaughlin rounded out the podium and Mark Winterbottom finished fourth.Craig Lowndes, who sits third in the championship, improved form his starting position of 21st - his worst qualifying effort in New Zealand in 12 years - to finish 16th.Lowndes effort reduced the gap between himself and fourth-placed McLaughlin to just 40 points.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

He can barely remember his way to the locker room but James Tamou knows exactly where he wants to end up with new NRL club Penrith next season.Week one of the Panthers pre-season hasnt even finished but the big-name signing is already talking a big game, saying only a premiership will bring success to the club in 2017.From what I saw last (season), theres only room to grow. We had a couple of video sessions and Ive been excited to watch what the boys can produce, Tamou said.A premiership - thats the number one goal and thats on everyones mind.Tamou was knee-deep in a push for back-to-back titles with North Queensland in 2016 but admitted he had kept a close eye on the Panthers since signing a lucrative deal in June.And the 27-year-old couldnt help but be enamoured with their high-octane play that fell two games short of a fairytale grand final appearance.Ive been saying for a while, Ive been very excited to come in, he said.Their last 12 weeks of the season I was very impressed. Obviously because I had signed and knew I was coming here, I was keeping an eye on them.They were definitely premiership contenders. The way they went about the Bulldogs (elimination final), who are nothing short of walkovers.Obviously a bit of bad luck against Canberra (in the semi-final, but) just goes to show how young aand resilient this side can be.ddddddddddddItll be good for the club for everyone to stick around. It adds to the dynasty they can build.Tamou met his new teammates for day one of pre-season on Monday, almost two months before the former Kangaroos representative expected to arrive at the foot of the mountains.He was a shock exclusion from Mal Meningas Australian squad for the current Four Nations tournament and while he admitted the axing hurt, was glad to help uproot the family to Sydney.I wouldve went away feeling not well leaving the wife there with the kids. Im happy to be here. We can do some really good things here and day one is where it starts, he said.I know why I missed out. It just puts a bit more fire in the belly for next time.And already hes taken confidence from the way new teammate Trent Merrin experienced a career resurgence after a similar high-profile move from Wollongong last summer.I was reading something about him, he thought he was over representative-wise. We all know the valuable player he is, Tamou said.He came here and went to another level. Thats a bit of a goal for me. But first things first, get through a good pre-season and be injury-free. ' ' '
