NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg admits the games governing body mishandled their funding negotiations with clubs after John Grant narrowly avoided the axe.ARL Commission chairman Grant on Tuesday received an 11th hour reprieve after striking up a peace deal with the clubs who were threatening to revolt after the NRL last month abruptly pulled a funding deal from the table.Grants position appeared untenable but they managed to negotiate a resolution. The NRL would not divulge details of the deal because it was dependent upon how much the salary cap rises by in 2018.Greenberg admitted they had got it wrong and had badly sold their message to the clubs who had threatened a civil war.Theres lots of things that could have changed over time but I think we could have handled ourselves better in some parts, Greenberg said.But these are emotional issues for the game and its probably not the first time weve debated the distribution of funding and it wont be the last.As part of the peace deal, the clubs agreed to a five-year funding model which will begin in 2018. Greenberg said it would fund each club at an amount above the salary cap.The NRL will also establish a sinking fund for clubs which run into financial hardship, a proposition clubs had previously baulked at because they didnt believe it was their duty to prop up rivals who run into hardship.It was reported that the clubs were pushing for Grant to stand down within the next 12 months but Greenberg said he had not been given an exit date.Absolutely he will (stay). Johns in a position wheres he got to put the games best interests at heart, Greenberg said.Hes come under some personal criticism but thats okay, thats the way the game works.

Philadelphia was handed a 6-3 loss by the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon before dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rangers the following night in New York City. MILWAUKEE -- After dropping back-to-back games against opponents that had yet to win a game this season, the Milwaukee Bucks will look to get back on track Saturday night when they host the Memphis Grizzlies at the Bradley Center.To do that, Milwaukee will need another strong night from forward Jabari Parker, who has averaged 23.2 points on 46.3 percent shooting over his last five games and is coming off a season-high 33-point effort in the Bucks 112-106 loss to the Pelicans on Thursday night.Jabari was great, Bucks head coach Jason Kidd said after the loss to New Orleans. He came out and played. He kept us in the game on the offensive end. At the end, we kind of made a game of it. You have to be perfect coming down the stretch, and we just werent.Parker also made three 3-pointers in that contest but the Bucks, as a team, are still looking to bolster their 3-point attack, especially late in games.Improving that aspect of the offense was a key focus over the summer for general manager John Hammond, who added Matthew Dellavedova, Mirza Teletovic and Tony Snell to the roster before the season began. But Milwaukee lost its go-to long-range shooter in training camp when Khris Middleton was lost for most of the season with a knee injury.It is going to be a group effort, Kidd said. Its not just we can lean on Khris. We can look at Jabari in that group to be able to get a three, and not just be able to get a three but to make a three.The Grizzles come to Milwaukee looking to string together consecutive victories for the first time this season. A Marc Gasol buzzer-beater allowed Memphis to narrowly escape with a 108-107 victory over Denver on Tuesday night that the Nuggets ultimately protested because they believed -- and the NBAs two-minute review confirmed -- that the ball went out of bounds on the previous play.ddddddddddddAndrew Harrison scored 10 points with six assists and four steals in that contest as he battles fellow rookie Wade Baldwin for Memphis backup point guard role behind veteran Mike Conley.Head coach David Fizdale handed the assignment to Baldwin for the teams first six games and he responded well, averaging 4.3 points and 3.5 assists in 21 minutes per game. But Baldwin has sat out the last two games, looking on from the bench as Harrison gets his shot.Its a good competition, Baldwin told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Coach has been even with it. Well see how it goes.I want it. Its a team environment but at the end of the day hes going to put on the floor who he feels most confident with, Baldwin added. When Im out there Ive got to be productive. The last game I played I had four turnovers in however many minutes I played. Thats unacceptable. I look at that, among other things, as why Im not in games.Fizdale said both players will see plenty of action as the season goes on and will, at some point, share the court together.Were feeling our way through, Fizdale told the newspaper. Andrew did a heck of a job last game. He was a big reason why we won. He stepped up and helped us on both ends of the floor. They both understand that they are always on deck. No one is out of the rotation. I might play them together. Theres never a time when you can get down and feel sorry for yourself. I have confidence in both of them.The two teams split the season series a year ago, with each winning on its own home court. The Grizzlies have lost two straight at the Bradley Center. ' ' '
