Pity about Cian missing out again as I didn't think Cartwright offered much more last time he played. Turner, Thornley and Macdonald. Three top quality centres. Interesting to see the 17 at 2pm on Sunday.

At least we now have changes at the RFL who are supposed to know what is happening at clubs like Salford and Cornwall. I wonder what happens next with the league structures. Only time will tell.

After the salford fiasco it shows again that the RFL have little idea what is going on in the game. Hopefully the new regime will do better.

If Wigan v Salford doesn't go ahead could we borrow Bevan French for the day

A friend has also suggested flyers in some of the pubs around our old heartland e.g. Weavers Arms, Black Horse, Bear on the Hill, possibly with some kind of incentive for the landlord.

I know lots if ideas have already been put forward including posters and flyers. Now would be a good time to get a few posters for Barrow game in areas with most footfall (if we can) e.g. Asda, Tesco, Aldi.

It doesn't do much for the sport in general. Lots of discussion before sky games on the direction the sport needs to go. I am sure that all 12 superleague club chairmen will do what's best for the game and not just look after their own interests

Do either of sky commentators have a clue ?

I don't see the wigan lads just coming over to be in the 21. I don't know much about either player but if Lowe has a first team squad number it suggests he is a good player. I think okeefe will either be on wing or 18th man again. Shame for him but that's the way things are with a big squad and DR with Wigan.

Only referring to what was reported at the time.https://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/4/sport-news/148516/former-rochdale-afc-chief-executive-david-bottomley-andrew-curran-anddarrell-rosebanned-by-efl-for-two-years

Like most stories there will be more to it than we are aware of but at the time it just said he was banned because he became a "relevant person " without getting EFL approval in advance.

It was a tough game and without Craven, Drinkwater and Astley (taken off injured) we couldn't break them down. To be fair we had chances but couldn't convert. They scored from a really good chip and chase with a good bounce, a last tackle up and under and from our 1 on 1 ball steal that fell nicely for them. They took their chances well. It was however a great game to watch.

As people have said before, mergers don't sit well in this country. Gateshead Hull Sheffield Huddersfield Both above happened and yet clubs just rose from the ashes and started again.

2016 revisited.

Yes.

Really entertaining game with a fantastic final few minutes. Great advert for community game. Well done Waterhead.

Fair point.

Whilst it is interesting to see the points all clubs have scored, unless a club seriously feels that a few tweaks off the field can get them into the top 12 then at the moment it is an irrelevance. Batley, Whitehaven and most other clubs in the championship and league 1 don't fall into that category. Let's just play rugby.

Is it not a bit of a trek from carcassonne to toulouse ?

One more signing due this week. Shirts not yet ready. Hoping that replicas will be available mid December I believe.

If true I think Leigh are at Catalan the same day.

Good meeting. Squad details announced with most players in attendance. Looks like we start with a squad of 31 although no.23 vacant and to be announced very soon.

A question no-one can (or wants) to answer.

Is Roebuck still with us?

Especially if we can get BBC North West to do a piece on us like they did earlier this year.
