As his protracted contract negotiations continue, St George Illawarra hooker Mitch Rein admits he is faced with the prospect of exiting the NRL club.Rein, who has been mentioned as a future NSW hooker, is off contract at seasons end.The 26-year-olds preference is to stay with the joint venture but on Wednesday he said his future could lie elsewhere.These things, they take a lot of time. I did expect it to drag out, he said at Dragons training at Kogarah Oval.Thats just how it is. I have tried to keep my distance from it all and leave it up to my manager. It can be a distraction - but for me it is not.These things happen and if I have to move on there is no point sulking about it. If I am playing good footy I will get a job somewhere.While pivot Benji Marshall is also off contract, Rein said hed like to continue with he, Marshall, five-eighth Gareth Widdop and representative fullback Josh Dugan as the clubs spine.In other Dragons news, co-captain Ben Creagh has started running following his knee injury and is hopeful of playing again this year before he decides whether to hang up the boots or continue in 2017.Creagh has not played since round three.I have had a few complications with it following the surgery, Creagh said.I have started running again. I havent got a date when I will start playing again but Im hopeful it will be this year.It is a bit frustrating, but it is the first time in my career I have missed this many games. Unfortunately it has just come at this time when I am off contract and getting close to making a decision about whether I play next year. Nike MLB Jerseys For Sale .

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Akeem Hunt waited all season for a chance to play. When it finally came, he made it count.Hunt was promoted from Houstons practice squad Saturday and delivered in a big way Sunday. The second-year pro from Purdue ran eight times for 52 yards in a 24-21 win at Jacksonville . He had a key run down the stretch, a 17-yard gain on a third-and-16 play in the fourth quarter that set up a field goal.I wasnt surprised with what Akeem did, Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said. You were able to see glimpses from Akeem throughout the preseason. He seems to have so much bottled-up energy. If you get him the ball, he might be able to spring the big one every single time. Hes so athletic, hes so fast, hes quick and hes a smart football player as well. He had great vision today and really hit the holes hard.He ran five times for 39 yards on Houstons final scoring drive early in the fourth quarter, none of his carries bigger than that third-down run. The speedy back caught Jacksonville by surprise when he took a handoff and skirted around the left side for the teams second-biggest gain of the game. It led to Nick Novaks 51-yard field goal, which proved to be the difference.That was crushing, Jaguars defensive tackle Malik Jackson said. I thought it was a pass for sure. Everybody made a mistake thinking it was pass. Weve got to get off blocks and make the tackle. Nobody seemed to do that and we lost. Two or three plays as a defense wwill show us why we lost the game, but we were playing a hell of a game.ddddddddddddThe Texans finished with 181 yards on the ground. Lamar Miller led the way with 83 yards, including a 45-yard scamper that set up a first-quarter touchdown.Osweiler scrambled for 23 more. Hunts yardage was equally eyebrow-raising. After all, he was added to the 53-man roster the day before the game because Jonathan Grimes (illness) didnt make the trip. And Hunt could have been playing elsewhere.One of the fastest players on Houstons roster -- he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.37 seconds coming out of college -- Hunt was let go in final roster cuts. He was offered practice-squad contracts by Chicago, New Orleans, Kansas City and others after scoring two touchdowns during Houstons preseason finale against Dallas.He opted to remain with the Texans and take his chances on the practice squad. Hunt showed glimpses of potential as a rookie last season, rushing for 96 yards on 17 carries and catching six passes for 39 yards. That came after previous stints with the New York Giants and Baltimore.But what he did in Jacksonville has to top his highlight list.Akeem ran really well, especially in the fourth quarter, and it was good to have him in there, Miller said.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
