Aspiring NRL teams like the Brisbane Bombers should enter a team into rugby leagues new-look second tier instead of pushing for direct entry, NRL head of football Brian Canavan says.Canavan has declared expansion of the NRL is off the table, but expansion of the Intrust Super Cup in Queensland and NSWs Intrust Super Premiership is very much up for discussion.Those competitions will take on added importance from 2018 as the NRL phases out the Holden Cup and replaces it with under-20s leagues in each state.By 2022, rugby leagues second tier could include more teams from regional areas, the Northern Territory, Western Australia, Pacific Island nations and even a second New Zealand team, all of which have been earmarked as potential new sides by the NRL.But it could also serve as a springboard for new entities like the Bombers, who have been pushing for a spot in the NRL for several years, only to have been repeatedly turned away by a reluctant governing body.Asked if the Bombers would be welcome to apply for an Intrust Super Cup licence, Canavan said: That would be a more appropriate way to go about it.(If you) develop from the bottom up, that ensures sustainability for the future rather than just be a one-out club.It builds the capacity, builds the brand, builds a player base, an administration base - all that ready to go for the next level.Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant said last year the NRLs 17th club would likely come from south-east Queensland.However, the NRL has since gone cold on the idea of expansion in the short term and Canavan said there would be no new additions for several years.Expansion at the NRL level is off the table. Thats not to say it wont come back onto the table at some stage into the distant future, he said.But expansion is on the table at the second-tier, state cup levels, and if we can accommodate affiliate states ... that widens our base.Then, if we wanted to expand way down the track, weve got a bigger base, a bigger pool of players to call upon to advance the competition.

If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. NEW YORK -- Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah have been All-Stars on winning teams, yet also have struggled with injuries.Carmelo Anthony is still an All-Star, though his best days may be behind him. Kristaps Porzingis could be one eventually, but for now his best days may be too far ahead.For every reason to believe in the New York Knicks, theres another reason to question them. Even the guy who assembled them is optimistic but unsure.We hope that this team is going to prove that theyre capable, said Phil Jackson, the Knicks president of basketball operations.If healthy, it should be. The talent has been ungraded with the trade for Rose, the former NBA MVP, and signings of Noah, Courtney Lee and Brandon Jennings. Yet all but Lee have missed significant time at some point because of injury, and Rose and Noah in particular have seen sharp drops in their production in recent years.But Jackson decided to take some risks after the Knicks went 32-50 last season to miss the playoffs for the third straight year. And he hired another coach, bringing in Jeff Hornacek to open up the offense.He hasnt had much time yet to see how well it can work.Rose missed much of preseason while in Los Angeles because of a rape trial that ended Wednesday when he was cleared in a $21.5 million lawsuit that accused him and two friends of raping an ex-girlfriend while she said she was incapacitated from drugs or alcohol.Rose made it through 66 games last season, his highest total since his injury troubles started with a torn ACL in the 2012 playoffs.Noah got a late start on exhibition play because of hamstring and ankle injuries, renewing concerns about the center. He averaged a career-low 4.3 points last season in Chicago while limited to 29 games because of a dislocated left shoulder.So the Knicks will be figuring things out as they open Tuesday at Cleveland. The potential is there for a sttrong season, but it can also be wrecked by the injury bug that Rose knows all too well.ddddddddddddIf him and Noah stay healthy, they can be a dangerous team, TNT analyst Charles Barkley said.Here are things to watch as the Knicks begin their 70th anniversary season:ON POINT: The Knicks are confident in Jennings running the team whenever Rose is unavailable. He said he is fully recovered from a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him about a year and has regained his quickness.GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY: Anthony has advanced in the playoffs just twice, both in seasons after he won Olympic gold medals. He became mens basketballs first three-time gold medalist this summer and will be hoping this season resembles 2009 in Denver and 2013 in New York, when he was the NBAs leading scorer.SHAPE OF THE OFFENSE: In two seasons under Derek Fisher and Kurt Rambis, the Knicks ran the triangle offense that Jackson used to win an NBA-record 11 championships as coach. Hornacek said they will still run some of it, but will also look to push the ball more quickly to take advantage of Roses speed and create more easy baskets.WILLY FROM SEVILLA: While scouting Porzingis when he played in Spain, the Knicks noticed Guillermo Willy Hernandez, his teammate in Seville. The Knicks acquired Hernangomezs draft rights from Philadelphia in 2015, signed him in July, and hope the 6-foot-11 center who played on Spains bronze medal-winning team in the Rio Olympics can become an important player off the bench.PHILS FINALE?: Jackson has an option in his contract to leave after this season, which he said he had included in case there was a lockout. But he said he hasnt been thinking about what hell do.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney ' ' '
