St George Illawarra NRL coach Paul McGregor has failed to guarantee under-fire playmaker Benji Marshalls future at the club.Off-contract at the end of this season and being battered from pillar to post after a string of poor performances, the 31-year-olds career is under a dark cloud.He is reported to have had a run-in with McGregor after being singled out this week in a video session - reports that have been hosed down by both parties.McGregor said while he had no plans to drop the ex-New Zealand Test playmaker to reserve grade, he stopped short of guaranteeing he would play out of Wollongong in 2017.Hed feel some frustration and some pressure because he is off-contract and he is a legend of the game. That hurts, McGregor said on Thursday.But as a club coach, Ive got to look at all (players) available for the future and whats out there and do the right thing by the club.The Dragons have made big plays for Luke Keary and Corey Norman as replacements for Marshall next season - missing out on both - and have been linked with out-of-favour Sydney Roosters playmaker Jackson Hastings.The Dragons are two wins outside the eight with four rounds remaining. McGregor, his players and senior management are under the microscope with the side staring down the barrel of six-straight losses going into Saturdays local derby with Cronulla.The relationship between McGregor and Marshall came into question this week when they were said to have been involved in a heated war of words however the coach downplayed the incident.Fullback Josh Dugan on Wednesday jumped to the defence of the hard-nosed coach, with McGregor refusing to change his tell-it-like-it-is style, even if he risked ruffling some feathers.Im not perfect but Im real, McGregor said.Man management is a big thing in sport.Last year, everybody is happy and, when youve got players not playing to their full potential, which they did last year, a coachs job is to create an environment to do that.And when that environment is not a winning environment, you get challenged in your certain circumstances and this is just one of those circumstances because thats the sort of person I am - thats the way I do things.Nik Stauskas Jersey .B. -- The Baie-Comeau Drakkar took over sole possession of first place atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League on Thursday with their sixth straight win.

Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.Greg Inglis candidly admits he will go into Saturdays rugby league Test underprepared and expects to be targeted by the Kiwis.Inglis arrived in Perth on Thursday, four days later than his teammates after staying in Sydney for the birth of his daughter Quinn Sybella.The Australian centre will only have Fridays captains run as training before the nib Stadium encounter in what will be his 36th Test appearance.Crucially, it will be his only training session inside likely left winger Valentine Holmes, who will make his Test debut.Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga will name his team on Friday morning, with Holmes set to get the nod after Semi Radradras non-selection for the 24-man Four Nations squad due to off-field dramas.Josh Mansour is not with the team because he is getting married on Saturday.I am going in under prepared but Ive played enough footy with these guys and enough footy with Mal so I know what he expects, Inglis said on Thurrsday.ddddddddddddTheres no doubt if I was playing a rookie (combination), Id be targeting them.You never know until after 20 minutes how its going to act.Inglis said he had gone before into representative games, including State of Origin I last year, with familiar teammates such as Johnathan Thurston playing inside him on the left side.Well have a bit of a chat with the boys; JT and my winger will chat about how we all like to defend, Inglis saidIve played a number of games over the years with JT and were pretty comfortable.Theres been a few camps where I went in underprepared.
