Southamptons negotiations with manager Ronald Koeman over a new contract are progressing well, according to executive director of football Les Reed. Koeman has enjoyed two successful seasons at St Marys, having broken the clubs Premier League record points tally twice and guided the Saints into the Europa League with a sixth-place finish this term.The Dutchmans contract expires at the end of next season but he said he wanted to stay at Southampton for the foreseeable future after their final game of the season. Despite that declaration, sources have told Sky Sports News HQ that Koeman would be tempted away by one of Europes leading clubs, but he has opened talks over a new deal and Reed is pleased at the way they have gone so far.Conversations go on all the time about planning for the future. Ronald has mentioned recently that hes sat down with us at board level and talked about the five-year plan, Reed told the clubs official website.Theres no point going into contract negotiations about finance and money unless youre all on the same wavelength about where the club is going. Koeman has enjoyed two successful seasons at St Marys If Ronald is committing himself to the club for a longer period of time, its important we talk about our ambitions being aligned and that we are still trying to achieve the same things.Were now at a point, as Ronald has said himself, where were actually getting down to the detail of the contract, which is where agents and lawyers get involved.Everything is going very positively at the moment.

Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Jason Taylor and his Wests Tigers face the biggest test of their new direction and faith in Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses against NRL title contenders Canterbury on Saturday night.Tigers management have been forced to make some tough choices over the last 12 months after their decision to invest in young halves Brooks and Moses.Martin Taupaus move to Manly in an effort to free up salary cap space and the release of Blake Austin to Canberra has centred around the belief their young halves are the future of the club.Taylor has been a frequent target of critics but has always maintained that he was acting in the best interests of the organisation.But the 21-year-olds face a crucial examination against the surging Dogs without senior players Robbie Farah, Aaron Woods and James Tedesco on Saturday night.Our halves taking ownership is what weve built our last six or eight weeks on, Taylor said.Ill be disappointed if that doesnt happen. I want that to continue.Well miss those guys because theyre quality players but the opposition has got some key players out as well.Farah, Woods and Tedesco will miss the ANZ Stadium clash because of State of Origin with JJ Felise, Joel Edwards and Josh Addo-Carr coming in. Fill-in fullback Jordan Rankin suffered a rolled ankle at training during the week but Taylor said he was hopeful of playing.The Bulldogs will be without NSW stars David Klemmer and Josh Jackkson however thats offset by the return of New Zealand international Greg Eastwood.ddddddddddddThe Bulldogs have jumped into the top four for the first time this year following three straight wins, with statistics showing they have been one of the most disciplined teams in the competition this year.They are second for completion rates (78.5 per cent), miss the second fewest tackles (21.1 per game), while their giant forward pack has been able to make the third most metres per game (average 1510 metres).Its always hard to gauge, we think we can play a bit better than the last outing, Canterbury coach Des Hasler said when asked if they were at their best yet.I just think its too early, were still just getting through this last Origin patch.But what you want to try to do is build momentum and I think thats pretty important.STATS THAT MATTER* Hooker Dene Halatau will move into equal sixth on the all-time Tigers list for matches played, equalling Keith Galloway with 173 matches.* Canterbury have been the dominant team in this fixture, winning 19 of 30 matches.* Wests Tigers downfall this season has been its defence. They have conceded the second most points (25.4 per game), tries (4.4), linebreaks (5.8) and conceded the most offloads (11.2).Source: Fox Sports Stats ' ' '
