导出博客文章Netball Australia chief executive Kate Palmer says the continued delay over a
new collective bargaining agreement is a necessary evil to ensure the sport can
compete in an increasingly crowded womens market.A new eight-team Australian
netball competition will launch next year and while clubs can approach and
negotiate with players, signings cant be announced until the CBA is finalised.It
was initially hoped the agreement would be ratified shortly after the
trans-Tasman grand final.However talks between the clubs and the Australian
Netball Players Association (ANPA) are ongoing nearly three weeks later.I
wouldnt say its frustrating. Its one of the most critical pieces in the puzzle,
Palmer said on Wednesday.We can have all sorts of other agreements in place but
unless we get the athletes piece right, they wont be happy and we wont be
happy.They make the league, we need them to be well-supported. Its an
opportunity to get it right.Palmer said she was confident the CBA would be
finished very, very soon but would not give a definitive date.AAP understands it
may take another two weeks.Palmer said Netball Australia and the ANPA were
united in their desire to see Australian netballers become full-time
professionals - if not immediately, then at some point soon.We both want that
but were a little way off, she said.Wed love to be able to pay them full-time,
wed love them to earn what an AFL player earns and thats a dream well reach one
day.If were going to be competitive in womens sport thats something we need to
offer.Its how you get the start right and theres a lot of people at the table
trying to make that work.Noeline Taurua, the inaugural coach of new franchise
Sunshine Coast Lightning, said the wait wasnt hampering her recruitment
efforts.It is what it is. The good thing is everyones in the same boat, she
said.

Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as
Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made
their way to the locker room. One of the most, if not the most, iconic smaller
weight fighters in mixed martial arts history intends to hang up his gloves at
the end of the year.Former WEC featherweight champion and four-time UFC title
challenger Urijah Faber, 37, announced on Monday he plans to retire following a
Dec. 17 fight against Brad Pickett in Sacramento, California.Faber (33-10) is a
longtime Sacramento resident and the founder of Team Alpha Male gym, which
currently houses Chad Mendes, Cody Garbrandt and Paige VanZant, among others. A
former collegiate wrestler, Faber made his professional fighting debut in 2003
and is universally credited for drawing early attention to smaller weight
classes.Ive been teetering with [retirement] for a long time, said Faber during
an appearance on The MMA Hour. The thing that Im lucky [about], I have my health
and I really love what Im doing, but just as far as the passion goes -- I have
passion for what Im doing still, but it doesnt get the same emotion that it has
in the past.My favorite fighter of all time is Roy Jones Jr., and I remember
them talking about him kind of feeling that -- where he was playing little
basketball games the same day as a boxing match. [My last couple fights] II
havent found that emotional rise and fall.dddddddddddd That is kind of a strange
thing for me. I still love what Im doing and thats the reason why Im doing it,
but I just feel like this is going to be something thats going to be an
emotional thing for me.Faber was the face of the WEC earlier in his career. He
won the championship at 145 pounds in 2006 and went on to defend it five times.
His title reign included a submission win over now-UFC bantamweight champion
Dominick Cruz in 2007.Between 2011 and 2016, Faber appeared in four UFC
bantamweight title fights but came up short in each one. He suffered a close
decision loss to Cruz at UFC 132 in a fight he since has said he thought he won.
He also took a TKO loss against Renan Barao in 2014, even though he was showing
a thumbs-up to referee Herb Dean at the time the bout was called.In 2012, Faber
coached a season of The Ultimate Fighter reality series.Faber will face a fellow
veteran in Pickett (25-12), who also fought in the WEC prior to joining the UFC.
The televised event will take place at Sacramentos Golden 1 Center. ' ' '
