Wests Tigers veteran Dene Halatau will hang up his boots at the end of the 2016 NRL season.The 33-year-old utility, who has played 241 games for the Wests Tigers and Canterbury, confirmed his retirement on Monday.I felt as though the time is right and its something that Ive been thinking about for a long time now, Halatau said.Halatau won a premiership with the Wests Tigers in 2005, before shifting to Canterbury in 2010 for a four-year stint.He then return to the Tigers on a two-year deal in 2014, and his contract was eventually renewed for another season heading into this year.I was grateful to the club, JT (Jason Taylor) and the coaching staff for giving me this year; I still feel as though Im playing good enough football to contribute well for the team, he said.Ive had a few little injuries over the past season that have just been quite frustrating more than anything.While Im still feeling okay I think its the right time to hang the boots up.Previously a back-rower, Halatau has become Taylors answer to the No.9 conundrum this season with hooker Matt Ballin injured and his preference to play Robbie Farah from the bench.He has great advice and sets a great example for every player at Wests Tigers, not just the young ones but the older guys also look to him for leadership and he will be sorely missed at the club, Taylor said.

MANCHESTER, England -- Theres no way Pep Guardiola will be leaving out Sergio Aguero this time.Aguero started on the bench for Manchester Citys 4-0 humbling at Barcelona in the last round of Champions League matches, leaving many to question the sense in Guardiola omitting possibly his best player for such a big match against his old club.Guardiola did it for tactical reasons, using playmaker Kevin De Bruyne in a withdrawn striker role to give City an extra body in midfield. Even if the tactic worked well at first -- the game only really changed after City had goalkeeper Claudio Bravo sent off after 53 minutes with the score at 1-0 -- Guardiola was widely criticized.For the return match at City on Tuesday, Aguero will be back in Citys team.But Im not going to tell you in which position hes going to play, Guardiola said, jokingly.Aguero gave a reminder of his finishing ability with two excellently taken goals in a 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Saturday. That ended a six-game run without scoring for Aguero -- although he was a substitute in three of them -- and ended Citys six-game winless run.Its good timing with Barcelona and its superstar strike force of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar heading to Etihad Stadium on nine points from a possible nine in Group C. Only a draw is needed to secure the Spanish sides 13th straight participation in the knockout stage.City is in second place, five points behind Barcelona and one ahead of Borussia Moenchengladbach.Barcas most pressing concerns are in defense, with left back Jordi Alba and center backs Gerard Pique and Jeremy Mathieu all out. Luis Enrique will probably field a makeshift defense of Lucas Digne, Samuel Umtiti, Javier Mascherano and Sergi Roberto. Midfielder Andres Iniesta is also injured for the match.Messi has scored back-to-back hat tricks in the Champions League, against City and Celtic, to lead the competition with six goals despite missing a match because of injury.Here are some things to look out for on Tuesday:---GROUP AParis Saint-Germain and Arsenal are tied on seven points and can both qualify with two group games to spare -- if one wins and the other does not lose on Tuesday.PSG travels to Basel and will be counting on Ediinson Cavani adding to his haul of seven goals in the last six games.dddddddddddd The Uruguay striker has 14 goals in all competitions -- the most in Europe along with Barcelona star Lionel Messi.PSG was flattered by the 3-0 winning margin over Basel two weeks ago, while Arsenal went even better with a 6-0 home victory at Ludogorets.For the return match in Bulgaria, Arsenal should have in-form winger Theo Walcott back from a hamstring injury.---GROUP BIts not going well for Napoli.Maurizio Sarris side has lost four of its past six matches, including a 3-2 defeat at home to Tuesdays opponent Besiktas in the Champions League.Napoli still leads the group on six points, one more than Besiktas and two above Benfica, which hosts Dynamo Kiev.The Portuguese side won 2-0 in Ukraine two weeks ago.---GROUP CMoenchengladbach isnt just looking for a home win over Celtic on Tuesday. The German side will also be hoping that Barcelona takes points off Man City so it can climb to second place and have a real chance of advancing at the expense of City.With games to come against Barca and at City, Celtic realistically needs to beat Moenchengladbach to stand a chance of a third-place finish and qualification for the Europa League.---GROUP DBayern Munichs early-season wobble looks behind the team before Tuesdays trip to PSV Eindhoven. A run of three winless games was a concern before Carlo Ancelottis side beat PSV 4-1 in Munich, and it has had three more wins since.Indeed, Ancelotti has suggested the dip in form may help avoid complacency for players who are so used to winning. Bayern will qualify for the last 16 with a win, provided group leader Atletico Madrid also avoids losing to winless Rostov at home.Atletico is one of only three sides with a 100 percent record in the competition so far -- along with Barcelona and Leicester -- with Yannick Carrasco grabbing the goals in 1-0 wins over Bayern and Rostov. The Belgium winger also struck twice in Atleticos 4-2 win over Malaga in La Liga on Saturday.Anything other than Atletico and Bayerns early progression over sides with only a point each would be a surprise.
