Coach Rob Wright admits the NSW Swifts could also lose their fanbase after losing their biggest stars to Australian netballs three new expansion sides.But after pledging to rebuild the trans-Tasman era powerhouse from the bottom up, Wright believes it will ultimately be for the greater good.Beaten grand finalists in the last two seasons, the Swifts were by far the hardest team hit by the feeding frenzy that followed netballs new collective bargaining agreement, which will see 80 players share a pool next year of almost $5.5 million.They face a barren short-term future with the departures of Sharni Layton, Caitlin Thwaites (Collingwood), Kim Green and Susan Pettitt (Giants) and Stephanie Wood (Sunshine Coast Lightning).The teams 2016 MVP, Kiwi Laura Langman, is also expected to join the Melbourne Storm-backed Lightning.Wright concedes hes disappointed with the extent of the exodus, but far from disheartened.We could worry about whats happened but in reality its pretty exciting, Wright told AAP.Over the last three years weve built something pretty special, I think, but obviously with the new comp, opportunities abounded.I dont think its just us, theres a lot of teams looking very different and three new ones. I think its great for netball.Im hoping it means the fanbase continues to grow for the entire sport because to me, this is about making sure netball becomes the premier sport, really.The sport is bigger than any team.Wright said it was impossible to deny any players seeking a late-career payday in a sport where salaries have been sub-par for so long.Youre a long time retired, he said.I would never begrudge them the opportunity to earn money which I think has been long overdue in womens sport.I think its fantastic this is probably the first time some of these superstars can earn some really big money.The Swifts unveiled on Thursday a hugely depleted, youth-heavy roster for next year, with just four players from this seasons squad staying on and only one Diamonds representative in Paige Hadley.Abbey McCulloch, Amy Sommerville and Maddy Turner - all named in the recent Netball Australia emerging talent camp - have stuck around for another season.The Swifts have also signed Trinidad & Tobago shooter Samantha Wallace, the reigning player of the season from the English Superleague, as well as rising English star Helen Housby and former Adelaide Thunderbirds pair Maddy Proud and Sarah Klau.Wright reckons Wallace, 22, can become a superstar of the competition much like Queenslands Jamaican sensation Romelda Aiken.With the group weve got I truly believe well build a new fanbase, Wright said.NSW Swifts: Paige Hadley, Helen Housby, Sarah Klau, Abbey McCulloch, Claire OBrien, Maddy Proud, Amy Sommerville, Emma Tickner, Maddy Turner, Sammy Wallace.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Bernhard Langer has a left knee injury that could force him to withdraw from the PowerShares QQQ Championship, the inaugural Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs event.Im not sure Ill be able to play tomorrow, but Ill make that call at noon when my tee time is, Langer said Thursday. For right now, Ive been getting treatment and trying to stay off my knee.Simply, the decision will come down to whether the he can hit the ball.I tried yesterday and it didnt work, Langer said. I cant transfer my weight. I cant put any pressure on my left knee.The 59-year-old German star leads the 50-and-over tour with tour four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459.I had an MRI on Monday because I couldnt walk properly and just had problems, Langer said. Obviously, havent hit a shot yet, havent been out on the course. I walked it, but I havent hit a shot yet because I cant, I cant put much pressure on my knee. Walking these hills is very difficult, especially downhill.The top 72 players on the money list earned spot at Sherwood Country Club, the former site of Greg Normans Shark Shootout and Tiger Woods event that is now called the Hero World Challenge. The playoff field will be cut to 54 for the Dominion Charity Classic next week in Richmond, Virginia, and to 36 for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship the follow week in Scottsdale, Arizona.Each dollar earned in the first two events is worth two points and will be added to the regular season total. At the Charlees Schwab Championship, points will be reset so that the top five only have to win to capture the Charles Schwab Cup.ddddddddddddLanger has a big enough advantage over second-place Miguel Angel Jimenez that he would keep the lead event even if he doesnt play this week.I came all the way here from south Florida and committed to play, said Langer, a three-time Cup champion. But if Im going to do long term damage, the last thing I want to do is try and play and do further damage and then I cant play next week or the following week, which that would really be bad if I cant play the Schwab Cup. You know, the priority is to get my health. You cant play golf if youre not healthy. The game is hard enough when youre healthy, you dont need to be injured.Fred Couples is attempting to play after sitting out eight months with a back injury.Im honestly hoping to get through this, the 57-year-old Couples said. Its one of my favorite golf courses, so I found out last week that I was in the playoff. I havent played since February, so I thought, `You know, Ill commit. I hit balls on Friday before I committed and actually felt OK.John Daly qualified 70th. He has five top-25 finishes in 14 starts since turning 50.All of us old guys have seen this course a few times, so theres no home-field advantage, Daly said. Ive heard nothing but great things about the changes and everything. ' ' '
