The NRL has failed to close a damaging rift with clubland after four club chairmen walked out on talks at Rugby League Central on Wednesday.The meeting looked doomed after just 30 minutes when North Queenslands Laurence Lancini, Cronullas Damian Keogh, Canterburys Ray Dibb and Melbournes Bart Campbell all departed.It is thought the move came after the governing body took off the table a proposal to fund clubs 130 per cent of the salary cap from 2018 onwards.The NRL, represented by ARL commission chairman John Grant and chief executive Todd Greenberg, reasoned it should concentrate on the collective bargaining agreement and setting the salary cap before tackling club funding.Its position was there was little point negotiating club funding as a proportion of the salary cap while its unknown how much the salary cap will be.Last December the NRL and its clubs agreed in principle to that increased funding in exchange for signing perpetual licences, which would eliminate the possibility of a Super League-style breakaway competition.However clubs have since baulked at proposed terms including that they contribute to a sinking fund which would bail out clubs that go into receivership.The NRLs inability to come to an agreement over the last 11 months has become a source of concern and frustration with some clubs.Lakers Jerseys 2020 . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

Bengals Linebacker Vontaze Burfict, who is suspended for three games for a continued pattern of egregious play, pulled down Steelers running back LeVeon Bell on the play that ended his season with a knee injury, and he put big hits on Roethlisberger and receiver Antonio Brown in the Bengals AFC wild-card loss.Thats not who we are, said Roethlisberger about retaliating. Its a physical football game and a physical division. Thats what we expect, a physical football game -- clean.Roethlisberger wouldnt bite on the evolution of the Steelers-Bengals matchup, which featured more than $100,000 in player fines, pregame scuffles, social media sparring and player-to-coach beefing.Whether its the Browns, the Bengals or Ravens, to us they are all big division rivals, Roethlisberger said.The closest thing to a scintillating quote in the Steelers locker room on Wednesday came from defensive end Cam Heyward, who called Steelers-Bengals the second-biggest rivalry in the AFC North. Many Steelers still consider the Raveens, armed with two Super Bowls, their primary rival.ddddddddddddThe Bengals and Steelers create physical matchups, but the two are still developing a history, Heyward said.Its not a slight on the Bengals. The Ravens have won Super Bowls, weve won Super Bowls, Heyward said.Asked about the animosity between both teams, Heyward said: What animosity? We got the win last year. At the end of the day, thats all were trying to do.In similar fashion, the Bengals have stayed mostly tight-lipped about Pittsburgh. Cornerback Adam Jones, whose scuffle with Steelers assistant Joey Porter earned the Bengals a costly 15-yard penalty in the final seconds of the playoff game, has declined comment about Pittsburgh.Roethlisberger expressed respect for the Bengals, calling their defense very, very good and Burfict a great player. Burfict dislocated Roethlisbergers shoulder on a playoff sack, and when Roethlisberger returned to the lineup for the games final drive, Burfict disrupted his passing attempt to Brown with a vicious helmet-to-helmet shot on the star receiver. Brown suffered a concussion and missed the Steelers divisional playoff loss to the Broncos.One of the best defenses in the league, Roethlisberger said. ' ' '
