John Grants hopes of an unlikely truce in rugby leagues civil war have taken a hit with angry NRL clubs refusing to return to the negotiating table with the Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC). Jason Verrett Jersey .Enraged by the ARLC reneging on a 12-month-old agreement for extra funding, the clubs were invited to resume funding talks as early as Thursday.However, the parties issued a joint statement, saying they had postponed any meetings to give them time to consider their options.Its believed the clubs had signalled they would not attend, and remain steadfast in their refusal to engage in discussions with the ARLC until Grant is sacked as chairman, or the original funding agreement - worth 130 per cent of the salary cap - is back in play.An emergency general meeting sparked by the clubs on December 20, at which they plan to move a motion of no confidence against Grant, is still set to proceed.The clubs require a minimum 14 votes from the games 26 shareholders - the 16 clubs, NSWRL, QRL and eight commissioners - to remove Grant.The only clubs that didnt join the call for the meeting are the NRL-owned Gold Coast and Newcastle.With the eight commissioners, Titans, Knights and QRL in his corner, Grant would need three clubs to change their mind to survive.Grant has so far refused to step down, expressing on Tuesday his hope some would swim against the tide and sit down with the commission.When you vote as a bloc, you give up your independence. What were seeing is a loss of independence of the individual clubs, he said.That needs leadership that says I know were not going down the right track here but never be afraid to pull back.Meanwhile, QRL chairman Peter Betros has slammed the clubs for their destructive pursuit of Grants job.I think its a completely selfish move, Betros told News Corp Australia.They need to give John a chance to remedy the situation and find a solution for all parties. Antonio Gates Jersey . Clarkson had been dealing with an elbow injury in early January and will be out of action for at least one week. He has three goals and five assists through 36 games with the Leafs this season. Dan Fouts Jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. http://www.chargersauthenticshop.com/Chargers-Drew-Kaser-Draft-Jersey/ . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. The Cleveland Indians made a big move to bolster their bullpen on Sunday, acquiring All-Star left-hander Andrew Miller from the New York Yankees for a package of prospects.The Yankees will receive four players in return, a package headed by minor league outfielder Clint Frazier and pitcher Justus Sheffield.Frazier and Sheffield are considered two of Clevelands top three prospects. Frazier was selected by the Indians with the fifth pick in the 2013 draft; Sheffield was drafted by Cleveland in the first round in 2014.Minor league pitchers?Ben Heller and J.P. Feyereisen are also heading to New York.The Yankees had been entertaining offers for Miller, though the price for the left-hander was considered steep, a source told ESPNs Buster Olney. The chances that Miller would be traded increased after the Yankees traded closer Aroldis Chapman to the Cubs last week.I loved my time here. I enjoyed playing in New York. I liked living in New York, Miller said before the Yankees game Sunday in Tampa. I like the guys here. Im going to miss that. Its a time Im going to look back at fondly. For me now, its a chance to go to a team thats in the thick of it and has big plans for this year. So, you have to look at the positives and helping those guys reach their goals.Miller, 31, appeared in 44 games for the Yankees this season, posting a 6-1 record with a 1.39 ERA and nine saves. He is averaging 15.3 strikeouts per nine innings and has allowed runs in just eight of 44 appearances.Miller has more than $21 million left on his contract, which runs through 2018, and sources told ESPNs Jayson Stark that the Indians are on the hook for all of it.Miller owns a career ERA of 2.72 with Detroit, Florida, Boston, Baltimore and New York. Indians manager Terry Francona is expected to use him in the eighth inning along with right-hander Bryan Shaw as the bridge to closer Cody Allen.Were getting one of the very elite relievers in all of baseball, Francona said. [Indians president] Chris [Antonetti] and the guys just went and got the very best guy there was. If you dont think other teams wanted him, youre crazy. They didnt go halfway. They went and got the best there is. Theres no better message.The Indians are also feeding off a positive vibe in the city started when the Cavaliers, their next-door neighbors in Gateway Plaza, won the NBA championship last month to end Clevelannds 52-year title drought. Mike Williams Jersey. Hes the perfect guy to have and we got him, Allen said before the clubs series finale with Oakland. It breathes a lot of life into this clubhouse. Were in first place with the guys we have, but to get a game-changer like Miller, that lets us know everybody in the front office wants to win as badly as we do right now. Were not thinking about two years from now, were thinking about winning in 2016.Frazier is hitting a combined .273 with 13 home runs and 48 RBIs this season in stops at Akron (Double-A) and Columbus (Triple-A). The 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .238 in 21 at-bats since recently being promoted to Columbus.Frazier is an electric bat, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said. His bat speed is already legendary. Hes got all the tools. He can run. He can hit. Hes got ability. He can hit for power. He can play all three outfield positions.Hes a very exciting, high-energy guy that shows up for the national anthem in a dirty uniform. Thats an exciting thing about his mentality. Hes a super competitive guy.Since the Yankees have a policy prohibiting players from growing their hair long or wearing facial hair beyond mustaches, Frazier, who has long hair, admitted it was time for a new look.Sheffield, the nephew of former Yankees slugger Gary Sheffield, is 7-5 with a 3.59 ERA. The 20-year-old left-hander has made 19 starts for Lynchburg, the Indians Class A team in the Carolina League.?Anybody whos seen him toe the rubber every five days, this is a high-electric, left-handed arm that was also a former No. 1 pick just like Frazier, Cashman said. Gets up to 95 with a three-pitch mix. He is a competitor on that mound.The Yankees made another move Sunday involving their bullpen, acquiring reliever Tyler Clippard from the Arizona Diamondbacks.Clippard is 2-3 with a 4.30 ERA this season.?Dellin Betances is expected to take over as the Yankees closer, with Clippard filling a setup spot.Yankees manager Joe Girardi denied that the Yankees are giving up on this season, despite the trades of Chapman and Miller.I dont wave white flags, Girardi told reporters. This organization doesnt ever wave a white flag.Information from ESPNs Wallace Matthews and The Associated Press was used in this report.
