Blake Austin insists he has buried all links to hometown club Penrith but one gripe remains - that Panthers star Matt Moylan should have way more than 70 games to his credit.The duo played almost all of their junior football together at the mountains, however it took Moylan nearly two years to join Austin in the NRL ranks when he finally debuted in 2013.By then a lack of game time forced Austin to look elsewhere for an opportunity, heading to the Wests Tigers before eventually finding a home in the nations capital last season.Ahead of Saturdays NRL semi-final between the two clubs, Austin revealed how he thought Moylan would be dominating teams a lot earlier than he is.I always thought he toiled away in (reserve grade) longer than he should have, Austin said.In the end its a formula thats worked well for him. He sat back and watched a lot of his mates debut a lot earlier than he did. But he got the last laugh. Hes playing really good footy.We played a lot of junior footy together, and -20s, and spent a lot of time at Windsor together too. To see him playing the way he is, its no surprise to me. Im really happy for him.The pair now hold the key to their respective outfits when they face off at GIO Stadium on Saturday, with the winner to take on Melbourne for the right to a spot in the grand final.Moylan is arguably the most in-form player remaining in title contention, while Austins return from a hand injury alleviates the probable loss of Josh Hodgson.Austin, 25, said stopping Penriths forwards is crucial to preventing Moylan taking over games in the same way he did in the second half of their elimination final win over Canterbury, when involved in four of his teams five tries.Moylans involvements, you can limit them by what you do in the middle of the field and the way you handle their forwards, he said.You know Moylan plays a bit of a halves style in their team. The opportunities will be limited if your forwards are struggling. Thatll be the key.Austins history with the Panthers dates back to his time with junior club Doonside, but was frustrated by the scarce opportunities presented to him by then-coach Ivan Cleary.He played just 16 games for the club before opting to severe ties, however he denied a win over the Panthers in what is his first career finals game would be sweet revenge.Theyre a long time ago, the Panthers. Even the Tigers now, theyre just another team, he said.Authentic NHL Jerseys .

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Lions have not announced the hiring, which was first reported by ESPN. Lombardi, the grandson of former Green Bay Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi, has been an offensive assistant on Sean Paytons New Orleans staff since 2007.SAN ANTONIO -- The team attempted to keep it private, but San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich is doing more than just speaking to reporters about social issues, according to a couple of Twitter posts Monday from scholar and activist Dr. Cornel West and The Nation sports editor Dave Zirin.Over the summer, Popovich reached out to youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. On Sunday, the coach invited West to speak in San Antonio to approximately 350 kids at the Jo Long Theatre of Performing Arts at the Carver Community Cultural Center. The event lasted 3 or 4 hours, Popovich said, and included the entire Spurs team and basketball staff, as well as owners Peter and Julianna Holt.Zirin served as the moderator for the event, which covered the gamut, Popovich said.It was big time. Cornel West is amazing, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. Hes been fighting that fight for a long time. Hes very clear, very well-spoken, had a lot of examples and names. He was right there. I had listened to a few of his interviews, and its just mesmerizing to listen to him. So it was good to get to meet him and to listen to him face to face. And if you add that to the fact that there were 350 kids from Sam Houston High School learning and listening, I think it was very powerful. It was a great, great move.Popovich has been outspoken over the years regarding social issues, and he hasnt shied away in recent days from expressing his views regarding the presidential election. This event, however, had been planned well in advance of the election, and the team took its time putting it together because Popovich wanted Sundays town hall with the local youth to be more substantiaal than a one-time visit.ddddddddddddIt was about the kids, Popovich said. In todays environment, one can talk a good game about we need this or we need that. We need fewer disparaging remarks. We need more attention to healing the atmosphere for a lot of minority groups, whether its racial or things that have been said about women or handicapped people or any such talk is just talk. But at some point, theres got to be follow-through where people are engaged.The Spurs plan to conduct more outreach activities with local youth. Much of the discussion during Sundays town hall focused on what young minorities face on a daily basis.The purpose of it was to show the kids that even though the environment is as it is, and weve heard some pretty rough talk through the election, that there are people, many people at all levels who value them greatly, Popovich said. They dont need to be as fearful or feel less than because we know who they are. We depend on them for the future.Popovich said the town hall conversation touched on a variety of topics, including race in America, sports, economics and the fatal shooting of a San Antonio police detective during a traffic stop Sunday.Of course that was pretty poignant considering the tragedy we had losing a police officer (Benjamin Marconi) through just horrible violence. But thats what it was all about, Popovich said. The kids were great. It was as simple as that. We just wanted to be there for them so that they know we want to interact with them, and that a lot of people care. ' ' '
