For the second time in a year, Martin Taupau has earned a new contract away on Kiwi duty.Despite having a further three years to go on his current NRL deal, Manly moved to tie down their star forward for an extra season on Tuesday, making him a Sea Eagle until the end of 2020.Marty loves the club and wanted to commit for a long term because he likes the direction we are going, coach Trent Barrett said on Tuesday.He is a tremendous competitor, great trainer, and a player willing to do the things to make himself better. He will be a key player for Manly in the years ahead.The extension comes almost a year after his move from Wests Tigers to Manly was infamously confirmed by a Canadian theatre critic while on tour with New Zealand.Taupau is currently in Perth preparing for the Kiwis Test against Australia on Saturday, but was nonetheless delighted to secure his long-term future at the club.I am very happy with this extension of my contract. I thoroughly enjoyed my first season with the Sea Eagles this year, he said.There is a lot to like about the direction the team is heading in. Trent Barrett is a wonderful coach and I look forward to further developing my game under him.Taupau, 26, averaged 142 metres in his 20 games for the Sea Eagles in 2016, including four line breaks, 32 offloads and 58 tackle breaks.His re-signing comes in the same week brothers Jake and Tom Trbojevic also penned extensions until 2020.Sea Eagles head of football Bob Fulton called Taupau one of the premier forwards in the game.And he will only get better, Fulton said.We are delighted to have him for another four years and his contract now has him in line in terms of length with the Trbojevic brothers Jake and Tom.They, along with half-back Daly Cherry-Evans, will form the basis of a very strong team long term for the club.While the Taupau announcement is a coup for the club, the focus remains on the immediate future of injured veterans Brett Stewart (knee) and Steve Matai (neck).Both continue to be monitored through their rehabilitation.It remains to be seen whether either player will see out their contract in 2017.

Ugen outshone outdoor world silver medalist Shara Proctor in the long jump, while Porter made it a hat-trick of world indoor medals with a fine display in the 60m hurdles.The medals helped rescue what had been a frustrating day until then, with a number of potential medal hopes seeing their chances come to an end. Ugens performance was a stunning one, as her fifth jump in the competition saw her soar to 6.93 metres to equal the British indoor record set last year by Katarina Johnson-Thompson.Im ecstatic right now, Ugen said. This is my first time getting on a podium, so it was fantastic to finally get some silverware.My first couple of jumps I was behind the board, so we were trying to find out if I wasnt running properly or whether I needed to move (my run-up). Eventually we decided to move it in, put one on the board and really put one out there.Proctor described her performance as horrible as she could only finish eighth, with a best jump of 6.57m, and she blamed a hamstring injury suffered during her opening jump. Tiffany Porter (R) took bronze in the 60m hurdles behind Nia Ali (C) and Brianna Rollins (L) Only 10 minutes later Britain had a second medal whenn Porter made the most of a mistake by Americas Kendra Harrison to fill third spot in the 60m hurdled behind another home athlete Nia Ali.ddddddddddddI was listening to the long jump and Im just so happy to follow Lorraine with a bronze, said Porter, who won silver in Istanbul in 2012 and bronze in Sopot two years later.Among the British athletes with medal hopes, there was particular disappointment for sprinter James Dasaolu.Dasaolu started this year by winning the British championship, after a nightmare 2015 season, but his chances of a place in the final were denied by a false start in his semi. James Dasaolu is ordered off the track after a false start in his 60m semi-final Words cant describe how disappointed I am. Its extremely frustrating, he said before seeing American Trayvon Bromell claim gold in 6.47 seconds ahead of Jamaicas Asafa Powell.I could have gone at least sub 6.50 as I knew training wise Im within my personal best of 6.47, so its really disappointing. Its extremely frustrating. This was the bounce-back chance for me.Morgan Lake finished seventh in the womens pentathlon, which featured a quite incredible finish.Canadas Brianne Theisen-Eaton snatched gold in the closing 800m by making up a deficit of more than 13 seconds on Ukraines Anastasiya Mokhnyuk to win by 34 points.
