Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan is confident he will have all but one (the retired Michael Ennis) of his history-making premiership-winning side back for the 2017 NRL season-opener.Whether they all intend to be there the following year is the bigger question.Just days after claiming the first premiership in the clubs history, the Sharks face the perennial premiers challenge of keeping their grand final-winning team intact.The first call of business for Flanagan is sorting the immediate futures of veterans Chris Heighington and Sam Tagataese, who are both currently without a club.Taga was going to move on. Hes probably going to go to England but he wants to stay another year, Flanagan said.We havent worried about it over these last couple of weeks. Him and Heighno - if they want to play again, well try and keep them here.The stiffer task follows not long after.Backline stars Ben Barba, Valentine Holmes, Jack Bird, Sosaia Feki and Chad Townsend join captain-in-waiting Wade Graham as players due to come off the books at the end of next season.Holmes and Bird in particular could fetch astronomical money on the open market, however, the club could have money to spend should skipper Paul Gallen call stumps after 2017.Luke Lewis also has just one year left and will be 34 by the start of the next finals series.Flanagan is confident of staving off heavy interest in Holmes and Bird, and that both will have long-term deals to stay in the Shire by the start of next season.Theyre not a problem. Theyre both committed to the club, theyre not going anywhere so I dont see an issue with that especially on the back of this (grand final win), he said.New recruit Manaia Cherrington is the early favourite to wear the No.9 jumper of Ennis, although the club is also keen on under-20s rake Jayden Brailey.

The return match is Nov. 30 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid.We had to stay focused from the start and we played a good match, Asensio said.Madrid also scored with an own goal by defender Gianni Zuiverloon early in the game and a late header by youngster Mariano Diaz.But it was Fernandezs amazing strike in the 68th that attracted all the attention at the Reino de Leon stadium in northern Spain.After a cross by James Rodriguez from the right flank, Fernandez jumped into the air just inside the area and turned his body sideways to fire a firm right-foot sciissor-kick volley into the top of the net.ddddddddddddAs Nacho celebrated, Rodriguez took both hands to his head in apparent disbelief, and coach Zinedine Zidane looked amazed as he turned to the bench and smiled broadly.That was not normal, Zidane said. Its a goal that will go down in history.Cultural Leonesa, which played in Spains first division for the only time in the 1955-56 season, scored its lone goal through Benja Martinez in the 83rd minute, with his team trailing 6-0.We tried to play our game, but they are infinitely superior, Leonesa player Alejando Gallar said.Zidane rested most of Madrids top stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Among those who played were Pepe, Dani Carvajal and Toni Kroos.Madrid plays at Alaves on Saturday to try to defend its Spanish league lead. ' ' '
