http://www.giantsrookiestore.com/Giants-Nat-Berhe-Jersey/ .Netball Australia on Wednesday announced a huge pay increase for players in the new national league, confident it will ward off the challenge of rival codes such as the womens AFL.They are hopeful its another step toward netballers being full-time professional athletes within five years.With the new league set to start early next year, the collective playing agreement (CPA) allows for 80 players to be contracted to the eight clubs and share from a total payment pool of $5.4 million.Each club will have up to $675,000 to spend on its list of 10 contracted athletes, meaning that the average salary will increase to $67,500 and the minimum wage to double to $27,375.By comparison, AFLs new womens league has set a minimum wage of $5,000 for their players, with marquees earning $25,000, while female cricketers could earn at least $18,000 if they played both the one-day and Twenty20 domestic leagues.All netballers will sign 12-month part-time contracts, averaging 20 hours per week, with the hours of 10am-4pm protected should they wish to study or work.Other key points of the CPA are that players income is protected for up to two years in the event of injury or pregnancy, their health insurance is paid by the club, while new mothers will be able to travel with a carer at the clubs expense.This will make it easier for new mother of twins, Australian and Adelaide Thunderbirds player Renae Ingles, to resume playing, while Test and Queensland Firebirds skipper Laura Geitz also recently announced her pregnancy.Current Australian player Madi Robinson said she was excited to be a player in this era of netball.To see the progression and growth of this sport in such a short time, over my playing career, is awesome, Robinson said.Hopefully it will empower and inspire the young girls as future Diamonds.NA deputy chief executive Marne Fechner said they had lifted the bar and believed it would keep more women in the sport.We want to ensure that netball remains the code of choice ... there was a story that potentially netballers are leaving the sport for AFL and our job is to ensure that over half a million girls want to be Diamond or a championship player.Fechner said she hoped the players could be full-time professionals by the end of the five-year broadcast deal.NA also confirmed that the CPA deal meant that clubs may officially commence contracting for the new competition, which starts mid-February.Robinson has been linked with a move from the Melbourne Vixens to cross-town rivals Collingwood.

The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick. (STATS) -- Coach Beau Baldwin has been praising third-ranked Eastern Washingtons defense this season but its been overshadowed by a prolific offense fueled by Gage Gubrud and Cooper Kupp.Its hard to overlook what its doing in the FCS playoffs.One of the best defenses of the postseason and one of the best defenses of the regular season will be on the same field Saturday, though No. 13 Youngstown State may have some players suspended as it looks to keep the high-flying Eagles in check at a frigid Roos Field in the FCS national semifinal.Eastern Washingtons offense has received significant attention -- and for good reason. The Eagles (12-1) are first in the FCS in passing yards (403.4), second in total offense (534.7), third in scoring (42.7) and are led by two of the top three vote-getters for the 2016 STATS FCS Walter Payton Award in Gubrud and Kupp. The two were also both named the Big Skys Co-Offensive Player of the Year in leading EWU to a conference title and No. 2 seed for the playoffs.The defense, however, has also been instrumental to the teams success after being a major liability a year ago and has stepped up its play in two playoff games.After allowing season lows in yards (244) and points in a 31-14 second-round win over Central Arkansas, the defense was even better in last Saturdays 38-0 quarterfinal victory over Richmond. The Eagles had six sacks, forced five turnovers and permitted just 205 yards in recording their first shutout since 2009.Youre always growing, and especially when its only year two of a new defensive coordinator (Jeff Schmedding), you feel like you should be continuing to grow at this point, Baldwin said. I also think there is something to the work ethic they carried through the season, a work ethic in the weight room and health-wise to keep themselves in the right position to have success late in the year. Its a number of factors that have helped lead us to this spot.The defense is vastly improved from a year ago, when it was tied for 118th in the FCS in scoring (39.5 points per game). This year, theyre allowing an average of 25.5 and four EWU defensive players -- linebacker Miquiyah Zamora, safety Zach Bruce, end Samson Ebukam and tackle Jay-Tee Tiuli -- were named to the All-Big Sky first team.The unseeded Penguins (11-3), in the playoffs for the first time since reaching the 2006 semifinals, are also no slouch defensively, ranking seventh in the FCS in points (18.1) and 11th in total yards (313.5). They had three from that unit named to the All-Missouri Valley Football Conference first team in ends Derek Rivers and Avery Moss and safety LeRoy Alexander.The unit will face a much different look than in last Saturdays 30-23 double-overtime win over Wofford. The run-oriented Terriers attempted all of three passes -- a number the Eagles may reach on their first three offensive snaps.Gubrud leads the FCS with 537 attempts and 4,822 passing yards, is second with 45 touchdowns and third in completion percentage at 68.

The sophomore is also first in the division in total offense with 5,380 yards.He has three receivers that have eclipsed 1,000 yards led by Kupp, who is first in the FCS in yards (1,520), second in receptions (107) and third in TDs (15). The 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year ranks first in Division I history in receptions (418), receiving yards (6,284) and touchdown receptions (71).The best receiving corps in the FCS also includes fellow seniors Shaq Hill (75 catches, 1,112 yards, 16 TDs) and Kendrick Bourne (76, 1,087, 6).Our defense has been challenged this way before against a number of teams that throw the ball and spread you out, YSU coach Bo Pelini said. ... These guys post some different challenges here and there and are unique in certain ways. Its about getting a good plan together.The Penguins may catch a bit of a break as the weather could dictate Gubruds ability to throw. The forecast in Cheney is a high of 7 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.Were going to approach it that they can run their offense, Pelini said, and plan B is if it becomes really difficult out there, what are our answers then if it becomes more of a running situation.Ideally, the Penguins will be at full strength for facing an offense like the Eagles but they could be without some key contributors.The school hasnt confirmed a report that some YSU players will be suspended after testing positive for an unidentified substance following the teams second-round win over Jacksonville State. Its also uncertain if Martin Ruiz will face any more punishment after his arrest last week on a gun charge. He spent a night in jail and only got in for one play in the second half against Wofford.Ruiz (1,153) and Jody Webb (1,200) are the only 1,000-yard runners in the MVFC. Ruiz also tops the MVFC with 12 rushing touchdowns and Webb is second in the league with an average of 6.3 yards per carry.Hunter Wells threw a season-high three touchdown passes last week as Youngstown State was able to overcome three missed field goals. The junior quarterback was playing in his seventh game and the Penguins are averaging 38.8 points during a five-game winning streak since losing at North Dakota State.The Eagles lone loss came to the top-seeded Bison, falling 50-44 in overtime. The teams have one other common opponent, as EWU and Youngstown each beat Northern Iowa by four points.The only other time YSU and EWU met was in the 1997 semifinals, when the Jim Tressel-led Penguins won 25-14 and would win the FCS championship a week later.The winner will face either No. 4 North Dakota State or fifth-ranked James Madison in the FCS national championship in Frisco, Texas on Jan. 6.
