Superstar Melbourne fullback Billy Slater says theres no guarantee he will play next year with his shoulder still not back to full strength.The 33-year-old, who had a second reconstruction after round one in March, is back in pre-season training with the NRL grand finalists.But he says he wont play again if hes not comfortable with how the injury has recovered.Its not 100 per cent yet but hopefully by next year it will be and all things going well I will be out there but theres no guarantees just yet as I havent done a whole heap of contact work, Slater told AAP.If its not in a position where I feel comfortable with it then Im not going to be risking it.Im more chance than not of playing but its hard to say Im definitely going to play next year because I havent put it through those tests.After only managing nine matches in two seasons, the Test and Maroons star said he still had the hunger to play beyond next season, when his Storm contract ends.He filled this year with coaching and media commitments around his rehabilitation as the Storm advanced to the grand final, where they were beaten by Cronulla, but said he would rather still be on the field.I still want to play football and thats why Im training now.I really have that hunger and drive to play and still want to play for another year or two and if my shoulder comes good hopefully I can do that.Slater hasnt set a date to make a decision on his return and would be guided by the improvement in the troublesome joint.My surgeon says its a two year recovery and Im only eight months into it so by next March I will half way, he said.The shoulder will progressively tell me but its going really well.Cameron Munster filled the fullback role in Slaters absence with aplomb but he has been ear-marked for a shift to five-eighth following Blake Greens departure to Manly.Melbourne football manager Frank Ponissi said he believed Slater was just being cautious after only lasting one game in his comeback from 2015 surgery.Billys a bit guarded after going through the disappointment of missing the finals in 2015 and then having a big pre-season and then doing it first game, Ponissi said.We would be shocked if he didnt play.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are accomplishing things in Dak Prescotts rookie season that never happened under Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman.Dallas, which got its five Super Bowl championships under Staubach and Aikman, had never won 10 consecutive regular-season games in the same season until now.Only once before in franchise history had the Cowboys started 10-1, in Tony Romos first full season as the starter in 2007. That was also the only other time since 2005, their last Super Bowl season, that they already had 10 wins on Thanksgiving Day.I have tons of confidence in myself, this team, and the coaching staff, Prescott said. I never go in to the game thinking we are going to lose, it is always what do we have to do to win? I feel like that is how this team thinks.The NFL-leading Cowboys (10-1) havent lost since their 20-19 setback to the New York Giants in the opener, when Prescott and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott made their NFL debuts. Their 31-26 win over Washington on Thanksgiving Day completed a season sweep of the NFC East rival.The momentum is real for us right now. Our football team is a lot of fun, veteran tight end Jason Witten said. Its neat to be a part of this and lead a great group of guys. ...Ten wins is good but they dont hang those banners after 11 weeks. We have to continue to build here going into a critical stretch.Unlike after most Thanksgiving games, the Cowboys dont immediately get a long weekend this time. They play another Thursday game next week at Minnesota, meaning their extended break will instead come before the Nov. 11 rematch against the Giants in New Jersey.After that, the Cowboys will have consecutive home games against Tampa Bay and Dettroit before finishing the regular season at Philadelphia.ddddddddddddIts cool. We have to keep it moving though. We cant get comfortable, receiver Dez Bryant said about the 10-game winning streak. When you get comfortable youre going to fall apart. Its still a long season. We have to make sure everyones mind is right, including mine. We have to be chasing something.The only time the Cowboys have won more consecutive regular-season games was 11 in a row -- the last five of the 1968 season and the first six games in 1969, a stretch that included Staubachs first NFL start.When including postseason games, the longest winning string in franchise history is 12 in a row. That included the Cowboys first Super Bowl title during the 1971 season, when they won their last seven regular-season games and all three postseason games, before winning the first two games of the 1972 season.Were striving for perfection, veteran cornerback Orlando Scandrick said. Nobody is making the playoffs after 10 wins. We just have to keep our foot on the gas and continue to go in week in and week out and win football games.Game notes Prescott is three short of Ben Roethlisbergers NFL rookie record for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl Era. Roethlisberger won 13 consecutive games as a rookie with Pittsburgh in 2004. ... The Cowboys have the longest winning streak following a season-opening loss since San Franciscos 11 straight wins after losing its 1997 opener. The NFL record is 12 in a row by Minnesota in 1969.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
