Queensland Rugby League boss Peter Betros believes common sense will prevail and NRL clubs will abandon plans to oust Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant on December 20.Betros revealed had had spoken to NRL clubs campaigning for Grants retention and been encouraged by the response ahead of this months emergency general meeting.There were more good portents on Monday night.Disgruntled NRL clubs announced that they had returned to the negotiation table with Grant over a funding stoush.I hope that (December 20) meeting is cancelled and I believe it will be, Betros told AAP.I believe common sense will prevail.I am encouraging the warring parties to sit down and settle their differences and find some amicable agreement and not tear ourselves apart.Chopping Johns head off doesnt solve any problems, simple as that.Funding talks had been postponed indefinitely just last week after clubs called for the emergency meeting in a bid to get rid of Grant.The ARLC boss had been desperate for clubs to return to the negotiation table after falling out with them by reneging on a 12 month old funding agreement.He recently withdrew a memorandum of understanding which pledged an extra $100 million per year to clubs from 2018.Representatives of the clubs and the ARLC met today and agreed to continue discussions to resolve the current impasse, NRL clubs said in a statement on Monday night.Betros now hoped renewed talks would also lead to the December 20 meeting being abandoned.Clubs require a minimum 14 votes from the games 26 shareholders - the 16 clubs, NSWRL, eight commissioners and the QRL represented by Betros - to remove Grant at the meeting.Fourteen clubs, excluding the NRL-owned Gold Coast and Newcastle, signed a letter to the ARLC backing the emergency meeting.Betros said NRL clubs had been perceived as greedy at grassroots level over their stance.I dont know if it is personal, Betros said.I just think this desire to control the money is clouding some clubs view.I think the clubs are just looking for someone who is more attuned to their desires.Its the club ideology of us first and everyone else comes later.I mix in league circles a lot below the NRL level and there is a great perception that the clubs are being very greedy and selfish.Betros believed the most important people in the game had been overlooked in the disgruntled NRL clubs funding stoush - grass roots footy.Grant reneged on the funding promise in a bid to renew a grassroots footy focus after citing a decline in participation.I acknowledge that the NRL brings in the funding for the game but there is an enormous amount of grass roots football that comes underneath, Betros said.It is responsible for the next players coming through - its got to be protected.

Custom Rockies Jerseys . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury. ARLINGTON, Texas -- Prince Fielder arrived in Texas with a massive contract, a home run title and a reputation for playing every day.He didnt come with much of an ego, though it wouldve been completely understandable considering he was the son of big leaguer Cecil Fielder and played in six?All-Star Games, winning the Home Run Derby at one of them.And just like that, Fielders career is apparently over. After having neck fusion surgery for the second time in three seasons hes reportedly expected to announce Wednesday that he is physically unable to play, thus ending his career. The medical designation means he will collect on the remaining $96 million, hes owed on the nine-year, $214 million contract he signed with the Detroit Tigers in 2012.In three seasons with the Texas Rangers, Fielder hit 34 homers with 158 RBIs in just 289 games. He hit .269 with an OPS of .760, well below his career averages.Winning mattered more to Fielder than his stats. He cared more about being a good teammate than his Wins Above Replacement. When manager Jeff Banister asked him to be a designated hitter, allowing Mitch Moreland to play first base, Fielder quickly acquiesced. When asked about the move, Fielder said, Mitch is a better first baseman than me. The team is better if hes at first.After playing just 42 games his first season in Texas because he needed neck fusion surgery, Fielder returned to hit .305 with 23 homers and 98 RBIs in 2015.This season, though, the moon shots were replaced by singles slappped to left and blooped to center.dddddddddddd Instead of yanking the ball into defensive shifts, he hit the ball to the opposite field.When asked how his ego handled the dip in power, Fielder replied, Id rather hit .300 and win than hit 30 homers and lose.Hes one of the players who looked out for rookie outfielder Nomar Mazara when he joined the club in April. Fielder and Adrian Beltre controlled the clubhouse so Jeff Banister didnt have to do it.Prince never enjoyed talking much about himself, though he would always make time for an NBA conversation or a chat about his two sons.When Fielder missed much of the 2014 season, it changed his perspective on life, and he didnt mind telling folks. The time away from the game forced him to mature and change the way he viewed baseball. It made him realize the fragility of his career and the importance of fatherhood. No longer did he wrap his identity in how far he could hit a baseball. His family, his kids were more important.Fielders two sons spent much of the summer at the ballpark shagging flies, riding their hover board and playing with the sons of Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo.Fielder recently chastised one of his sons because he could smell the youngster had forgotten to use his deodorant.As his son left to follow his fathers directive, Fielder chuckled. Now, hell have more time for father-son moments like those. ' ' '
