Carlton skipper Marc Murphy is keen for Bryce Gibbs to remain in the Blues leadership group despite his failed attempt to leave the AFL club. Mike Matheny .Gibbs sensationally asked to be traded to Adelaide for family reasons in Octobers trade period, only to see bitter negotiations between Carlton and the Crows amount to nothing.The star midfielder, who is contracted for another three years, returned to the club for the first time since the trade fiasco on Monday.Murphy maintained Gibbs return wasnt awkward for him or his teammates, even though he wanted to play elsewhere, and believes the star midfielder is ready to move on.Hes a tremendous footballer and person - he loves the footy club and the footy club loves him - so its great to have him still with us, Murphy told reporters on Monday.He was obviously going through a range of emotions (after the trade didnt go through) ... he was doing it pretty tough.(But) hes had a lot of conversations with people at the footy club and I think hes in a really good space now.He ran a really good time this morning in one of our trials ... hes in really good condition and looking forward to a big year.Gibbs was sensationally installed in the Blues leadership group for the 2007 season by then coach Denis Pagan without having played an AFL game.The No.1 draft pick was given time to mature away from the group after a year and has been a trusted lieutenant of Murphys since he took over the captaincy from Chris Judd ahead of the 2013 season.Well go through a process but Id love to still have him in (the leadership group), Murphy said.Hes been a great leader for the footy club and been a great support to me, so Id love to have him in the leadership group.Whether or not hes in that group or not ... well find out in the next few months, but hell still be a leader around the footy club (regardless).Murphys hope is that, with proper off-field support, Gibbs wont seek to leave the club again at next years trade period.Murphy suffered a serious ankle injury in round 10 and didnt play again this season, but reported he is in full training and is suffering no lingering effects of the issue. Mike Shannon . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Bobby Tolan . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday. The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. http://www.custommlbcardinalsjersey.com/...large-691q.html .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey. The review committee set up by the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) to look into shootings no-medal show at the Rio Olympics this year has, in its report, implicated the federation for its lack of initiative and planning and sought a major overhaul in its attitude, policies and practices. In response, the NRAI said it will set up another panel to monitor all recommendations.The four-member committee, chaired by Abhinav Bindra, analysed the individual performances of the shooters who qualified for the Olympics and then laid the onus on the national body for operating within a flawed structure, leading to a combination of factors which led to the disappointment of the Rio Olympics. The NRAI was held accountable for hiring incompetent national coaches, not holding national camps and not having a system in place to monitor the physical readiness of shooters competing at the Olympics.The committee, which held its first meeting on August 29, spoke to shooters and coaches over a number of sittings before drafting its 38-page report assessing the performance of each of the 12 Rio Olympic shooters separately and putting forward its recommendations with regard to the terms of reference mandated by the NRAI. The committee acknowledged the NRAIs willingness to look within for answers and noted that it was the only national sports federation that had done so post-Rio. Bindra, who was a part of the Rio Games contingent, did not participate in matters dealing specifically with his Olympic teammates to avoid a possible conflict of interest.We suggested some course corrections to ensure that the sport is run in a more efficient manner, hope they are imbibed, Bindra said at a press conference on Wednesday. The complete report was made available to the public and was expected to be put up online, too.Among its recommendations, the committee sought the appointment of a high-performance manager -- who is not a part of the NRAI -- to coordinate among the shooter, coaches, the NRAI and the Sports Authority of India (SAI), and remain accountable to the governing body of the NRAI. It has also called for a committee of experts, comprising the national coach, at least three shooters who have won medals at major events and the high-performance manager, to appoint a fresh set of coaches for Olympic contenders.Pushing for a review of its existing selection policy, the panel has suggested that the NRAI announce its 2020 Olympic selection guidelines in 2017; offering room for debate and scrutiny and make the final policy applicable from no later than January 2018.In its assessment of primary medal prospect Jitu Rais performance at the Games, the committee pointed out that foreign coaach Pavel Smirnov lacked the expertise in precision events to help the shooter win an Olympic medal and the absence of a working relationship between them only worsened matters. Gussie Busch. .Responding to the review panels observations, NRAI president Raninder Singh told ESPN that the federation would, possibly over the next 48 hours, set up an independent committee to monitor all the recommendations in a time-bound manner. It will be entrusted with one mandate -- to institute and implement the recommendations -- and will be required to send monthly reports to the president on the status.If were not doing our job we need to be criticized, Raninder said. As far as the coaches are concerned, for instance someone like (Pavel) Smirnov, hes the one who gave us shooters like Vijay Kumar, Gurpreet Singh and Jitu Rai, and now suddenly hes the bad apple. Thats not fair. Its very easy to criticize and get rid of anyone but very difficult to replace. It has taken me one year to find a rifle coach in place of [Stanislav] Lapidus. So weve got to put things into perspective. Certainly well put in more protocols to make them more accountable and well be monitoring shooters as well as coaches, both Indian and foreign.Calling attention to Gagan Narangs underpreparedness to participate in three events -- air rifle, 50m rifle prone and 50m rifle 3 positions -- the review panel highlighted NRAIs ignorance of the shooter carrying a heel injury into the Olympics. While the committee commended shooter Mairaj Ahmed Khan for his creditable show in the skeet event, it roundly chastised four-time Olympian Manavjit Singh Sandhu for his inflexible attitude and lack of inclination to adopt a fresh approach.The committee said that the word coach has lost meaning in the Indian shooting context and observed that none of the national coaches have a proven track record either as coaches or shooters, the committee noted that the title of the national coach has turned into a titular one and that theres total absence of coordination between the national, foreign and personal coaches.Seeking an end to the federations dependence on the SAI, the panel strongly suggested that the NRAI turn into a self-sustaining, shooter-friendly organization. The NRAI cannot be at the mercy of SAI and every problem cannot be outsourced to SAI, it said. If there is a problem, NRAI should step in with corrective measures and sort it out with SAI later.The other three members of the panel were sports administrator Manisha Malhotra and senior journalists Kamesh Srinivasan and Digvijay Singh Deo.
