New South Wales cricketers will be the first Australian female domestic athletes to go fully professional, via a landmark deal that will push the wages of some players beyond six figures.Cricket NSW unveiled a two-season deal with the sponsor LendLease that will ensure all members of the Breakers squad earn at least a minimum wage of A$35,000 a year. Combined with WBBL and Southern Stars payments, this will mean the likes of Ellyse Perry will now draw in a cricket salary in excess of $100,000.The announcement arrived ahead of negotiations for a new MOU between Australias cricketers and Cricket Australia, with womens pay and conditions set to be a key battleground. NSW officials hope the LendLease underwrite will be a trendsetter for players around the nation.This truly is a landmark moment, NSW chief executive Andrew Jones said. Cricket NSW has always been a leader in womens sport and today we are proud to announce another first. Every member of the Lendlease Breakers squad now has the opportunity to pursue a professional sporting career.I am confident that every state in Australia will now follow the lead of Cricket NSW by giving their female cricketers the opportunity to earn a living wage.Cricket NSW is committed to growing and professionalising womens cricket by attracting and retaining the best athletes, providing world-class facilities, coaching and support staff, and offering all of our athletes a professional pathway.While the deal has been in the works for quite some time, it has grown in pertinence through recent advances in playing and payment opportunities for women in other sports such as AFL and netball. The new deal will again place cricket in the vanguard of womens sport.As the young Breakers batsman Ashleigh Gardner put it: Cricket has always been my passion. However, I never really thought that I would be able to play professionally. In the back of my mind I was always having to consider how I needed to juggle school work, studies, one day having a job and a family, with my training and matches.To know now that I dont need to worry about juggling all of this at once, and can really commit to my training and play professionally is incredible.Nick Mullens Super Bowl Jersey .

He is opening practice at Sanford Stadium to fans on Saturday, which also is the annual fan day with opportunities for photos and autographs.Freshman Jacob Eason, the biggest name in Smarts first recruiting class, may be the fan favorite to beat out returning starter Greyson Lambert and Brice Ramsey at quarterback. Smart said he wont be swayed by which quarterback draws the biggest cheers.Do the fans impact my decision? Smart asked. Absolutely not. They can go out there and cheer and scream for him, but Ive got to make the best decision for this team. Ultimately, who the fan favorite is, thats going to be the guy that wins the games, I promise you. If Eason loses a game, they wont like him, either. They wont like me, either.None of the candidates took control of the quarterback job during spring practice, which included a record turnout of 93,000 fans for the G-Day spring game at Sanford Stadium. It was an impressive response -- more than doubling the previous record of 46,000 -- after Smart called for a packed house.Smart is not making a similar request for Saturdays practice. He said opening practice is a reward for fans and extra motivation for the players.Ive always felt like thats an opportunity to give back to your fan base, Smart said. Not only is it exciting for them, but its exciting for the players. II think thats a good way to give back, to give them an opportunity to come out and watch a practice.dddddddddddd I dont think they know exactly what our players go through in practice.Smart said he expects fans and reporters to track the reps for the quarterbacks with the first- and second-team offenses.Thats fine, too, he said. Thats not what Im looking for. Im looking to see how guys respond with people out there in the stands.Eason completed 19 of 29 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown in the spring game. He is the most celebrated quarterback to sign with Georgia since Matthew Stafford, now the starter for the Detroit Lions.Tailback is another key position this spring. Junior Nick Chubb was on pace for a big season when he tore the posterior cruciate and other knee ligaments on the first play from scrimmage in Georgias loss to Tennessee on Oct. 10. Smart said Chubb will be closely monitored as he is cleared for everything the team is doing.Sony Michel, who replaced Chubb as the starter, will be limited at the start of practice as he continues to recover from a broken left forearm he suffered in an offseason accident.Were not really comfortable with him right now on if hed have to fall and brace himself, Smart said. He wont be as involved.Options at tailback include Tae Crowder, Brendan Douglas and freshmen Elijah Holyfield and Brian Herrien.Senior center Brandon Kublanow said the uncertainty at tailback is not a concern.Im not worried about it, Kublanow said. We have a lot of hard-working people on the team and weve had a great offseason. ... We always have guys to fill in. ' ' '
