Thunder clear at the top Thunder beat Mavericks to maintain 100% record It could instill a lot of confidence if we could come out with a victory, the England shooter told Sky Sports.For them, if we were to take the victory, it would make them question themselves. Likewise, if they were to beat us, we would be questioning ourselves for the next time that we would play them.Yes I do think it would make a big difference. This is quite early on in the season, weve still got them to play again before the semi-finals, but I think it is good to lay down a marker and see where we are at against their abilities. We look back to 2014s Superleague final between Manchester Thunder and Surrey Storm as Helen Housby won the game in dramatic fashion Australian Dan Ryan took charge of Manchester in pre-season and has introduced a five strong leadership team, with three vice-captains.Housby has welcomed this new approach and believes Ryan has inspired a sense of togetherness in the squad.Anybody who knows Dans personality know how passionate he is and how funny he is as well, said Housby.Hes come over from Australia, with the Australian style of play, and has really instilled a lot of belief in us and has done so well to merge the different styles that weve got in the team. Housby on Clarke decision England ace backs Clarke over Aussie move Weve got a lot of England girls, weve got a Kiwi and weve got a Jamaican, so it could be quite difficult to merge all those styles together and get a team to come out firing, but hes done it so well.

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints kicker carousel is still going strong.The Saints have moved on to their 11th kicker in 11 years under coach Sean Payton after signing undrafted rookie Wil Lutz on Tuesday -- as announced on social media by both Lutz and his agent, John Perla.The plan is for Lutz to replace veteran Kai Forbath, who was released by the Saints on Tuesday.The Saints also released veteran cornerback Cortland Finnegan, who joined the team midway through training camp. To replace him, the Saints signed veteran cornerback Sterling Moore, according to his agent, Andy Simms.Moore started nine games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year and previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots. He spent this summer with the Buffalo Bills before being released. He replaces Finnegan as the most experienced veteran by far among a young group of cornerbacks.Lutz spent the summer with the Baltimore Ravens after serving as both a kicker and punter at Georgia State.Lutz made 2 of 3 field goal attempts during the preseason with the Ravens (the miss coming from 53 yards). He made just 31 of 46 field goal attempts in college, though eight of those misses camee from beyond 48 yards.dddddddddddd He was 23-of-27 from inside the 40-yard line and finished as Georgia States all-time leader in field goals, PATs (120), points (213) and games played (47).Lutz originally agreed to join the Saints practice squad Monday after a tryout. But then the Saints reversed course and decided to sign him to their active 53-man roster instead.?The Saints have tried a little bit of everything at kicker during the Payton era. This year, they had three veterans on the roster -- Forbath, Connor Barth and Josh Scobee (who was released before OTAs began).Last year, the Saints tried two unproven young kickers throughout the summer -- Zach Hocker and Dustin Hopkins. They wound up keeping Hocker, only to replace him with Forbath weeks later. Hopkins, meanwhile, went on to thrive with the Washington Redskins.Since 2006, New Orleans has now burned through John Carney (three times), Billy Cundiff, Olindo Mare, Martin Gramatica, Taylor Mehlhaff, Garrett Hartley (also on-again, off-again), John Kasay, Shayne Graham, Hocker and Forbath.
