Cronulla have refused to rule out making a play for a big-name hooker despite confirming the signing of Manaia Cherrington from Wests Tigers. Don Mattingly Jersey .Cherrington appears to be in the box seat to take Michael Ennis No.9 jumper next NRL season however coach Shane Flanagan cannot guarantee him first crack.The club signed Cherrington on Friday for one year with the intention of him spending a season being groomed by Ennis, however that plan was thrown into disarray when the former NSW rake last month announced he would retire at the end of this campaign.Were a bit of in a holding pattern with our No.9, Flanagan said.Like the rest of rugby league, were in a bit of shock when Michael retired.Manaia was coming here to be Michaels understudy and learn from him.You need three hookers at least in your club. Michael plays 80 (minutes), which is a luxury.Where we move with our hookers? Weve got some really good young ones coming up but theyre probably not ready next year to be the No.1 hooker.With Ennis to depart, the Sharks have room to play within their salary cap next year.Flanagan said he had no intention of trying to sign out-of-favour Tigers rake Robbie Farah, however he was seen having a meeting with the NSW No.9s manager Sam Ayoub on Friday at the Sharks Leagues Club.Flanagan said they had several options including utility Nu Brown, who was touted as the next big thing before suffering a devastating ankle injury at last years Auckland Nines which set him back a long way.Cherrington had been previously linked with Penrith.The boys here at the Sharks are going really well, its exciting times and I cant wait to be a part of it, Cherrington said.His move to the Sharks will also have major consequences for the Tigers, whose once-burgeoning hooking stocks suddenly look thin.After being dumped to NSW Cup, Farah is expected to sign a two-year deal soon with South Sydney.Dene Halatau, who has worn the No.9 since Farahs axing, has announced he will retire at the end of this season while it remains to be seen if Matt Ballin, who will be 33 in January, will play again after undergoing two knee reconstructions in two years.The club had hoped to use the back half of the season to give game time to highly rated 19-year-old Jacob Liddle, however that plan was scuppered because of second-tier salary cap restraints. Joe DiMaggio Yankees Jersey . Woodson said during a radio interview Thursday that the Knicks Carmelo Anthony doesnt get the same calls as other superstars. Wade Boggs Jersey .ca. Kerry,  Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?  All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. http:///...driguez-Kids-Jersey/ . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahomas Baker Mayfield and Dede Westbrook will have an ideal stage as they make their final impressions on Heisman Trophy voters.The seventh-ranked Sooners host No. 11 Oklahoma State on Saturday in what amounts to a Big 12 title game. Mayfield and Westbrook want to take advantage as all eyes will be on just a few games and players during conference championship weekend.Mayfields situation was far less favorable last year. Though he and the Sooners were impressive in a 58-23 win over Oklahoma State in their regular-season finale, the quarterback missed a chance to impress voters because the Sooners were idle the next week as conference title games were being played. Mayfield didnt get an invitation to New York for the Heisman ceremony and finished fourth in the balloting. Coaches and players have said they feel the Sooners not playing the final weekend last season played a role in him not being invited.We knew he was supposed to be there, just as well as we know it again this year, Westbrook said.This year, the Sooners and Cowboys both were off the Saturday after Thanksgiving, pushing their rivalry game into December. Westbrook said Oklahomas primary focus is beating Oklahoma State, but the individual honors matter, and he likes the stage.Coming out this week, were going to make a statement to the country by, of course, competing to the best of our abilities against Oklahoma State, and showcasing to the world that both he (Mayfield) and I should be in the Heisman (finalists), Westbrook said.Mayfield, a finalist for the Maxwell and Davey OBrien Awards, leads the nation in passing efficiency (194.7) and yards per passing attempt (10.9) and ranks second inn the nation in completion percentage. Mariano Rivera Jersey. He has accounted for at least three touchdowns in all eight Big 12 games to lead the nations No. 2 scoring offense.Westbrook, a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award that honors the nations best receiver, got off to a slow start as he worked through a hamstring injury. He has bounced back with 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns in eight Big 12 games. His 11 touchdown receptions of 40 yards or more this season match the most of any FBS player in the past 18 years.Westbrook has said for the past few weeks that Mayfield should win the Heisman. Mayfield said last week that he was flattered when he heard about Westbrooks praise.Its humbling, Mayfield said. Especially coming from a guy like that, as talented as he is. He deserves to be in New York at the end of the year. Im just trying to get him the passes he needs and the opportunities he can get to get him to that place. Its nice to have the support from your teammates, knowing they believe in you. It gives you a lot of trust.Offensive tackle Orlando Brown considers it his responsibility to help Mayfield and Westbrook get to New York.Its important, Brown said. As much as it means to those guys is as much as it means to me. Theyre not selfish guys. Them winning the Heisman -- Im in it for them. If thats what they want to do, Im out here every day working hard to put myself in the best position to help them.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/CliffBruntAP Wholeslae Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Cheap College Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap Baseball Jerseys ' ' '
