Cronulla boss Lyall Gorman says the Sharks must regroup from the shock loss of star fullback Ben Barba before pondering any possible reinforcements.Barba may have played his last NRL game after being released - at his request - by the Sharks to seek rehabilitation in Thailand following his second positive test to cocaine in less than two years.The premiers are well served for fullbacks, with 21-year-old rep stars Jack Bird and Valentine Holmes both natural custodians and itching for another crack at the role.Despite the former Dally M Medallists scintillating form this season, the loss of Barba might even prove a blessing for the Sharks, who now have an unexpected $800,000 a year to spend on retaining their grand final roster beyond 2017.In any case, Gorman says Barbas welfare and that of his wife and four young daughters - and not the sides title defence or recruitment program - remain the clubs immediate concern.Our goal is not about football at the moment. Our goal is about helping the young man to come back into the community the way he wants to come back, Gorman said.We havent crossed that bridge at all, in terms of Benny not being with us, another player coming into the role, picking up another player. Theyre all options that remain on the table.But the first thing is to help Benny get back to where he needs to be and wants to be.The Sharks will await coach Shane Flanagans return from a fact-findng tour of England and the US before weighing up their options.Well address that matter over time. It hasnt entered our heads just now. First of all weve got to come to grips with where were at with Ben and where were heading as a club in regards to supporting him, Gorman said.The self-confessed distressed chief executive said the Sharks 2017 premiership defence hadnt been spoken of in recent weeks.There was a period of celebration. The boys are on annual leave, he said.Well regroup. Fourteen of our NRL players came back last Friday, the rest come back on staggered time.Weve got boys overseas with both New Zealand and the Australian teams.Well sit down as a playing group as we have done over the years. Were a resilient club, a strong club and a proud club and these things, while theyre short-term setbacks, wont put us back.Apart from uncertainty surrounding Barbas future, Cronullas other grand final try-scorer Andrew Fifita has also threatened to walk away from the NRL since the Sharks drought-breaking triumph.Gorman, though, insists the tearaway front-rower has assured the club he will be with the Sharks in 2017 and is not considering any other playing options.Henrik Borgstrom Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator. Vincent Trocheck Panthers Jersey . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. http://www.hockeypanthersofficialonline.com/mike-hoffman-hockey-jersey/ . The 31-year-old Spain midfielder hasnt played since Madrid lost in the Copa del Rey final to Atletico Madrid in May due to back and foot injuries. Florida Panthers Jerseys Mark Pysyk Jersey . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov.Replacing Minnesota in the Holiday Bowl on short notice would be a logistical nightmare, from rounding up players who have already gone home for the holidays to figuring out how to feed them once they are in California.Minnesota players are boycotting team activities in protest over the universitys decision to suspend 10 players for its upcoming Holiday Bowl appearance against Washington State after an internal school investigation into an alleged sexual assault. No criminal charges were filed in the case.University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler released a statement Friday saying that the players would remain suspended and it planned to let bowl organizers know soon if the team would be participating.If not, the Holiday Bowl committee will have to act quickly to find a replacement. The game is set to be played Dec. 27 and the teams were scheduled to arrive in San Diego on Dec. 22 for a few days of preparation and bowl-related activities.The Holiday Bowl put out a statement Thursday night saying it was monitoring the situation. Wright Waters, executive director of the Football Bowl Association, said Friday bowl organizers had not reached out to any schools about filling in for Minnesota if the Gophers dont show.Northern Illinois, from the Mid-American Conference, appears likely to get the first call. The Huskies are at the top of the list of 5-7 teams that would be bowl eligible based on their Academic Progress Rating, according to NCAA rules.NIU officials are also monitoring the situation.Were proud of the academic success of our football program which puts us in this conversation, athletic director Sean Frazier said in a statement Friday.But NIU finished its season on Nov. 26 and held its last team meeting the next day. The school had fall commencement last Sunday.After NIU, next up in the APR rankings are Arizona State and California, two Pac-12 teamms that have already played and lost to Washington State.dddddddddddd.Even if a team commits to play, there would be a host of issues to resolve.The first and maybe biggest problem would be gathering coaches and dozens of players who have dispersed for the holiday season.Next, how to get that team to California? Charter flights can be booked on short-notice, but they are costly.Even if a team could get to San Diego, it would be way behind on the field and off.Typically, schools send a group of team officials -- including the director of football operations, equipment manager and ticket and marketing directors -- to scout a bowl site a day or two after a bid is accepted.They map out everything from the time it takes to get the team from the hotel to practice sites to where to hold events for their fans.A positive for Northern Illinois is that the school has recent experience with San Diego bowl games. The Huskies played in the Poinsettia Bowl last season and in 2013. That game is also held at Qualcomm Stadium.Hotel arrangements would not necessarily be an issue because bowl organizers book those in advance and a new team could simply slip into Minnesotas accommodations. Though teams usually plan most of their own meals, so that would be another rush job.Then there is practice.Bowl teams generally practice for a couple of weeks on campus before heading out to the site. Most of the game-planning and serious preparation is done then. Coaches are generally putting the finishing touches on their team at a bowl site.At Washington State, the Cougars are trying to go about business as usual.We are focusing on ourselves and preparing for the 2016 National Funding Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27, Washington State AD Bill Moos said in a statement.
