Newcastle coach Nathan Brown is optimistic the back-to-back NRL wooden spooners can bolster their squad with several more players before the 2017 campaign kicks off.The Knights are favourites to finish last for the third successive season after adding only Jamie Buhrer (Manly), Rory Kostjasyn (North Queensland) and Ken Sio (Hull KR) to the roster who managed just one win in 2016.The Knights insist they have a cash stockpile waiting to be spent on the right players, and further funds could become available if they are successful in finding new clubs for Jack Stockwell and Jake Mamo.I think in the NRL, nearly anything is possible these days, Brown said.We saw Michael Jennings move (from the Sydney Roosters to Parramatta) in early December last year. If you believe what you hear, theres a number of clubs under salary-cap pressure and different clubs are trying to move different players for different reasons ... you just dont know who becomes available this year.But I do know if youve got money, youre always a chance. If you dont have money, youre no chance.Since Browns arrival in Newcastle 12 months ago, numerous players have parted company with the club, including Chris Houston (Widnes), Adam Clydsdale and Joe Tapine (Canberra), Tariq Sims (St George Illawarra), Robbie Rochow (South Sydney), Akuila Uate (Manly) and Jeremy Smith (retired).As well as their three recruits for 2017, they picked up fringe first-graders Pauli Pauli (Parramatta), Brendan Elliot (Roosters) and Mitch Barnett (Canberra) last season.Brown predicted there would still be a fair bit of movement in the market in coming weeks, as clubs juggled their rosters and players eyed greener pastures.Weve still got a decent amount of money, Brown said. It just depends what comes up. Weve just added Ken Sio, who helps our outside backs.Wed definitely like to bring another outside back in. We like to bring in a middle-type player and an edge-type player.Id say wed like to bring in another three players, if that was possible. Whether thats possible, well have to wait and see.The Knights kicked off pre-season training on Tuesday with fitness testing and Brown said they were in a little bit of a better position than we were this time last year.The younger guys are more aware of what first grade is about, having played a fair number of games last year and having their first pre-season, he said.Theres definitely a lot of those guys in a position to have a better pre-season and improve on that.

TOKYO -- Tokyo held a groundbreaking ceremony on Sunday for a $1.5 billion National Stadium to host the 2020 Olympic Games.Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike and other dignitaries launched the construction at the site of the demolished National Stadium, which was used during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, by putting their hands on a glass sphere that rotated through pastels of the colors of the Olympic logo.The ceremony ended with a video replete with computer graphics showing how the stadium is expected to look and function once completed by November 2019.Work on the stadium in the center of the city fell behind schedule because the government abandoned the original design amid spiraling costs and complaints over its scale and appearance.Koike, Tokyos first female governor, took office in July pledging to use her platform to host a cost-efficient and environmentally friendly 2020 Olympics. She has lambasted organizers of the 2020 games for failing to keep ccosts under control.ddddddddddddAn expert panel she appointed put the price tag of the 2020 Games at over $30 billion, barring drastic cost-cutting measures, a more than a four-fold increase from the initial estimate when the city was awarded the games in 2013.Fans of the old stadium, built in the late 1950s, had lobbied to keep and renovate it. But in the end the government opted to replace it with a more modern facility.Kengo Kuma, the architect of the new, open-air stadium, chose a wooden lattice design that echoes traditional styles seen in Japanese shrines and pagodas. It is intended to blend in with surrounding parkland and will be structured to minimize costs for heating and cooling.The structure will use Japanese-grown larch in its wood and steel composite roof and prefabricated panels to help speed the work along and contain costs.
