WINNIPEG -- The question mark over Mike Renauds head has been removed and he will keep his job as punter for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers this season. "Mikes really performed well and we didnt see anybody beating him out," coach Tim Burke said Friday, after the team released two of the three prospects they brought in to challenge for the position. Brett Cameron, the son of Bomber punting legend Bob Cameron, and Aussie rules footballer Tim Hutchison were both let go. The Bombers held onto Billy Pavlopoulos, the former UBC Thunderbirds kicker they picked up in the 2013 CFL draft. "We feel Billys probably the next best guy and so well see how he does the rest of training camp and see if hes a guy were going to want to put on the practice roster." Renaud, starting his fifth season with the team and in the CFL, says he feels he has met the challenge. "I feel like Im probably having the best camp Ive ever had," he said after practice Friday. "I dont know whether thats the competition but I trained really hard and Im healthy and I just want to do the best Ive ever done and thats where my focus is at." Cameron leaves camp after scoring his first CFL points in Wednesdays pre-season game, when he kicked a 37-yard field goal in the Bombers 24-6 loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Burke says he feels Cameron could have a future in the CFL but he must work on his technique. Renaud, meanwhile, looked a lot safer after Wednesdays exhibition game when he averaged just over 44 yards with his punts. Burke also says he is getting closer to a decision on which of his three backups will move to the No. 2 spot behind starter Buck Pierce and he expects it to be sorted out before the regular season starts. "This second game all three guys behind Buck will be playing," said Burke. "I mean I have an opinion of where we are now that I dont want to share yet but I think it will start sorting itself out pretty good in the second game." The Bombers play their second exhibition game in Hamilton next week and Justin Goltz has already been told hell start and play the first half. Goltz, the only backup the Bombers retained from last season, didnt spend a lot of time on the field Wednesday. Max Hall, one of the two newcomers in camp, saw most of the action, although Chase Clement also played more than Goltz. Goltz knows this is his big chance to prove himself. "I want to establish myself as a leader of a team," he said. "Get a chance to go out there . . . a starter for the first time in the CFL. So thats a big deal for me." Although hes entering his fourth season with the Bombers, Goltz has always played third fiddle to the other two backups cut by the Bombers during the off-season -- Alex Brink and Joey Elliott. Pierce, who wont be playing at all in Hamilton, ran only three series Wednesday, failed to complete a pass and almost got sacked before he was yanked. Keeping him healthy is one of the top priorities of the Bombers this season. He says he also got a little talking to from offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton for running the ball on his first play. "He said, Buck, what are you doing? Thats the first play of the pre-season and were doing everything to protect you and youre doing that?" Pierce said he apologized. On Friday, the team also released import linebacker Chad Faulcon, import defensive lineman Marcus Hyde, import defensive back Sam Pope and non-import defensive back Jawann Westerman, who was signed late last season and placed on the practice roster.Tremaine Edmunds Youth Jersey . - Chris Tierney snapped a tie with a power-play goal late in the third period as the London Knights rallied from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Erie Otters 5-3 in Ontario Hockey League action on Wednesday.

Theyre ranked second after winning nine of their last 10 matches, including impressive victories over reigning champions Hawthorn, Adelaide in South Australia and GWS in Sydney, and should be considered a smokey to make the big dance if their stellar form continues.Geelong, too, shouldnt be taken lightly. Although they may feel aggrieved at having to play their home qualifying final at Hawthorns home ground, the Cats finals prowess and great form against fellow top eight sides has been well noted.Meanwhile, Hawthorn coach Alistair Clarkson will be hoping the week off has given his side a chance to regroup after a patchy run home, in which they lost to the Eagles and Melbourne, and scraped past Collingwood by just one point.Further down the rannkings is finals debutant GWS, as well as the Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne.dddddddddddd. Both of those Victorian sides face tough road trips in their elimination finals; the Dogs have never won a final interstate, while North Melbourne has not beaten Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval in its three attempts.What would give fans of these teams some confidence, however, is the week off has given up to five Bulldogs a chance to prove their fitness, while a week rest could be just the tonic for North Melbournes ageing list.LegendForm: The higher the number, the better a teams form from its last month.Health: Determined by the number and quality of fit players available.
