Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is confident he will have all but one (the retired Michael Ennis) of his history-making premiership-winning side back for the 2017 NRL season-opener.Whether they all intend to be there the following year is the bigger question.Just days after claiming the first premiership in the clubs history, the Sharks face the perennial premiers challenge of keeping their grand final-winning team intact.The first call of business for Flanagan is sorting the immediate futures of veterans Chris Heighington and Sam Tagataese, who are both currently without a club.Taga was going to move on. Hes probably going to go to England but he wants to stay another year, Flanagan said.We havent worried about it over these last couple of weeks. Him and Heighno - if they want to play again, well try and keep them here.The stiffer task follows not long after.Backline stars Ben Barba, Valentine Holmes, Jack Bird, Sosaia Feki and Chad Townsend join captain-in-waiting Wade Graham as players due to come off the books at the end of next season.Holmes and Bird in particular could fetch astronomical money on the open market, however, the club could have money to spend should skipper Paul Gallen call stumps after 2017.Luke Lewis also has just one year left and will be 34 by the start of the next finals series.Flanagan is confident of staving off heavy interest in Holmes and Bird, and that both will have long-term deals to stay in the Shire by the start of next season.Theyre not a problem. Theyre both committed to the club, theyre not going anywhere so I dont see an issue with that especially on the back of this (grand final win), he said.New recruit Manaia Cherrington is the early favourite to wear the No.9 jumper of Ennis, although the club is also keen on under-20s rake Jayden Brailey.

Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. Bob Gassoff Jersey . The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Amid speculation that Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre is a potential candidate for other jobs, athletic director Rick George said he absolutely expects MacIntyre to remain at the school.The No. 8 Buffaloes (10-2, 8-1 Pac-12) will play No. 4 Washington (11-1, 8-1) on Friday in the Pac-12 championship game, after which George said he will sit down with MacIntyre, as they do after every season, to discuss the state of the program. At that point, George said, they will talk about a potential contract extension for MacIntyre.When hes in his season we talk, but we dont talk about those kinds of things during the season, George said. We wait until the season is over.MacIntyre was named the Pac-12 coach of the year Tuesday and is among this years national coach of the year favorites, but he is the lowest-paid head coach in the Pac-12, according to the USA Today coaching salary database. He signed a one-year extension in 2014 that runs through the 2018 season and pays him a little more than $2 million annually.Multiple national reports have cited MacIntyre as a potential candidate for the opening at Baylor, but George did not seem concerned about that possibility, nor was he surprised that his name had surfaced.Look, Mike has had a great year, and its not just Mike. Its he and his coaching staff, George said. Theyve done a great job, and you would expect his name to pop up in a lot of different areas because of the success hes had, and I think thats a great complimeent to what theyve done.dddddddddddd Beyond that, Mike and I will talk, like we always do, after the regular season is over, which ends Friday night.When asked about the inevitability of his name being mentioned as a candidate for openings around the country in October, MacIntyre spoke glowingly about Colorado.I love it at Colorado. Truly love it. My wife loves it, my kids love it, he said. My daughter is in grad school [at CU]. My son is on the team, hes a sophomore. My other son is a senior in high school, and we truly love it.I know that we will be a top-echelon program at Colorado again and be that team that everyone is talking about as one of the top-20 teams. Its a destination spot once youve been here, and its really a special place.MacIntyre arrived at Colorado before the 2013 season after three years at San Jose State, where he orchestrated an impressive turnaround that culminated with the Spartans first-ever finish in the AP Top 25, at No. 21. Before winning the Pac-12 South this season, Colorado went just 10-27 in his first three seasons, including a 2-25 mark in Pac-12 play.No schools have reached out to George for permission to contact MacIntyre, and while that isnt a requirement, George said he would expect to be extended that courtesy.Those schools that are ethical would absolutely reach out to me, yes, he said.
