Helen Housby hopes the Manchester Thunder can strike an early psychological blow against title rivals Surrey Storm in Mondays Vitality Superleague match. The Thunder strengthened their place at the top of the table with Saturdays win over Hertfordshire Mavericks and will next face reigning champions Surrey in Manchester, live on Sky Sports.After ending Hertfordshires unbeaten record, Housby admits the Thunder can plant a few doubts in the Surrey side, who were beaten for a second time this season against Loughborough over the weekend, if they extend their five-game winning start to the season. Thunder clear at the top Thunder beat Mavericks to maintain 100% record It could instill a lot of confidence if we could come out with a victory, the England shooter told Sky Sports.For them, if we were to take the victory, it would make them question themselves. Likewise, if they were to beat us, we would be questioning ourselves for the next time that we would play them.Yes I do think it would make a big difference. This is quite early on in the season, weve still got them to play again before the semi-finals, but I think it is good to lay down a marker and see where we are at against their abilities. We look back to 2014s Superleague final between Manchester Thunder and Surrey Storm as Helen Housby won the game in dramatic fashion Australian Dan Ryan took charge of Manchester in pre-season and has introduced a five strong leadership team, with three vice-captains.Housby has welcomed this new approach and believes Ryan has inspired a sense of togetherness in the squad.Anybody who knows Dans personality know how passionate he is and how funny he is as well, said Housby.Hes come over from Australia, with the Australian style of play, and has really instilled a lot of belief in us and has done so well to merge the different styles that weve got in the team. Housby on Clarke decision England ace backs Clarke over Aussie move Weve got a lot of England girls, weve got a Kiwi and weve got a Jamaican, so it could be quite difficult to merge all those styles together and get a team to come out firing, but hes done it so well.

TAMPA, Fla -- The Oakland Raiders have been the NFLs best road team this season, already with four road wins on the way to a 5-2 record, and they are spending a full week on the road with consecutive games in Florida.Jack Del Rios team gave him a win Sunday in Jacksonville against his old team, and the Raiders are training at IMG Academy in Bradenton this week to prepare Sundays game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Weve got a process and theyve adhered to the process, Del Rio said of his teams success away from home. Theyve embraced it and really focused on just playing good football regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the weather, regardless of the time of day -- just to get excited to get out and play good football whenever they put the ball down for us and we tee it up and kick off.IMGs facility is so impressive that Jim Harbaugh brought Michigan down for a week of practice this spring and Del Rios goal has been to make a week spent on the opposite side of the country feel like a typical game week for his players.Were just focusing on trying to keep it as normal as possible for the guys, for the coaches, for the players, he said. We have a tremendous support staff that is providing everything we need, so that we can go about just a typical game week of preparation. So, all of our focus is there. Our workouts, our meetings, the structure, what we eat, everything is basically kind of staying within the normal flow of a game week.The week also allows Del Rio to spend Saturday afternoon back in Jacksonville, where he can watch his son Luke play as the University of Floridas starting quarterback against Georgia in their annual rivalry game.Sunday will be a reunion of sorts, as Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter and defensive coordinator Mike Smith were coordinators together on Del Rios Jaguars staff in 2007, part of a team that won 11 games and a playoff game as well.I learned a ton from Jack, Koetter said Wednesday. Both Jack and Mike Smiith came out of the Brian Billick tree when they won the Super Bowl up in Baltimore and just organization.dddddddddddd I was a pretty organized guy when I was a college coach, but NFL-style, I learned a lot about that from Jack. I was fortunate to come out of college and get with a guy like that.There are other reunions to watch as well -- Raiders receiver Amari Cooper played once against Bucs rookie cornerback Vernon Hargreaves in college, and had 10 catches for 201 yards and three touchdowns in an easy 42-21 victory for the Alabama Crimson Tide.Hargreaves has played well in his first six games, with no touchdowns allowed and no accepted penalties against him. He and Pro Bowl veteran Brent Grimes will be tasked not only with stopping Cooper but also Michael Crabtree, whose six touchdowns tie him for the NFL lead, with the Bucs Mike Evans.The Bucs, in turn, will try to exploit a Raiders defense that ranks last in the NFL in total defense and passing defense, and has given up a league-high nine pass plays of 40 yards or more. Evans is on pace to break the Tampa Bays single-season records for catches, receiving yards and touchdown receptions.While the Raiders are seeking their fifth road win, the Bucs are still seeking their first home win, having spent four of their first six on the road, with home losses to the Broncos and Rams. Koetter has lobbied for fans to limit the number of Raiders jerseys in the lower bowl, trying to get back a home-field advantage in a stadium where the Bucs have lost 15 of their last 18 games.Weve got to learn how to win some games at home, Koetter said. We need to. Lets keep those Raiders jerseys out of the lower bowl. Lets get some Bucs jerseys in there. Lets rock that place next week. I think weve got three in a row at home. Weve got to do our part. Weve got to learn how to win at home. ' ' '
