Dont write anyone off yet.Wayne Bennett has adopted the mantra ahead of Brisbanes NRL clash with Penrith on Friday night, insisting the premiership race is still wide open.Sixth-placed Brisbane will try to stay in touch with runaway pacesetters Cronulla and Melbourne with a win over ex-Broncos coach Anthony Griffins Panthers at Suncorp Stadium.But Bennett has dismissed the notion that the 2016 title can only be won by a top-four team.Finals football is all about momentum, he said.Ive seen teams play woeful three weeks out from the finals ... then win a tough game in the play-offs and they are on their way.Dont write anyone off yet.The Broncos dont have much momentum just yet - they snapped a stretch of five losses in six games with last rounds 30-10 victory over South Sydney.Brisbane have a good run into the finals, facing just two sides currently in the top eight - the Bulldogs and Melbourne.And two of their remaining seven games are against lowly Sydney Roosters.Bennett may not be taking notice of the NRL ladder but he does have one eye on the future after rival Gold Coasts signing of Jarrod Wallace.Bennett will look to bolster forward depth and develop youngsters Tevita Pangai, Jai Arrow, Herman Eseese and Joe Ofahengaue with Wallace and captain Corey Parker (retirement) departing at the end of the season.We didnt want to lose him but thats the salary cap, Bennett said of Wallaces Titans deal.Brisbane will look to the market to bolster their pack - not that Bennett was giving anything away on Thursday.We are not going to make big statements about who we are after, he said.But we are not at panic stations.Wallaces departure frees up money for Brisbane to re-sign Test forward Matt Gillett and utility Kodi Nikorima.It is part of the juggling act, Bennett said.Bennett said Gillett (shoulder) would return next week.KEY FACTS - BRONCOS v PANTHERS* Brisbane have defeated Penrith in five of their past six matches at Suncorp Stadium* Penrith has won three of their eight away games this season. Since the start of 2015 the Panthers have claimed just five of 20 matches away* Penrith have won one of their past eight games in Queensland stretching back to the end of the 2011 season.

The Dallas Mavericks return home wounded and slumping. Facing off against the Memphis Grizzlies probably wont help either malady.The Mavericks (2-8) take a three-game losing streak into their first meeting against Southwest Division rival Memphis (6-5) Friday night at American Airlines Center.We obviously are trying to win games, Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. So far, its been difficult, but we got to stay the course. Its a long season. Theres a ton more games to go. No ones going to drop their heads here, Ill make sure of that.The injury toll continues to mount for the Mavericks, who received a huge scare with J.J. Barea went down in the second half of Wednesdays 90-83 loss at Boston.Barea was in great pain initially and thought the injury could be season threatening. It turned out to be a calf strain that will likely sideline the combo guard for several weeks.It was awful, Barea said. I never felt that before in my entire basketball career. I thought it was over. I thought it was the Achilles. Its a little bit of good news that its my calf. Hopefully I dont need surgery, but well just wait. I never felt that feeling before. It felt like you got shot in your leg.Barea is an integral part of Carlisles rotation, both coming off the bench or starting. The Mavericks are already without Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles soreness) and Devin Harris (toe), and Deron Williams (strained calf) had to leave Wednesdays game before halftime after returning from a four-game absence.Theres no secret, were going through some adversity right now, forward Harrison Barnes said. We caught a little break with J.J. ... but ouur young guys are going to have to step up with everybody out.dddddddddddd Its all hands on deck. Coming back home against Memphis, its a must-win game.The Grizzlies are coming off Wednesdays dramatic 111-107 win at the Los Angeles Clippers. Marc Gasol hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 14 seconds left for Memphis to snap the Clippers seven-game winning streak.They are the best team in the league right now, so for us to get a signature win like this is huge, point guard Mike Conley said.Conley scored 30 and Gasol added a season-high 26 points for the Grizzlies in their second straight win, both coming on the road.Our two franchise players, Marc and Mike, just carried us and it was a good game, forward Zach Randolph said. Were starting to come around. Guys are getting more comfortable.Gasol is becoming comfortable in 3-point territory this season. After only hitting 12 from deep in his first eight years in the NBA, the 7-foot center has already knocked down 16 this season.Hes the best 3-pointer shooter on the team, no disrespect, Randolph quipped. Ive been saying that for a long time.The Grizzlies four-game trip ends in Dallas. Memphis coach David Fizdale has seen an uptick in team chemistry during the last week away from home.Were really starting to become more connected as a group, he said. Thats what the road does for you.The trip to Dallas is also a return for Chandler Parsons, who spent the last two years with the Mavericks before signing with Memphis in the offseason
