Thinking of the cricketers, mostly.

Their eye watering wages not so much of a problem?

They’re just getting their own back for every time someone from the UK/Europe suggests P&R as a way of improving the NRL.

They have history. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/35024363

Please, no.

Agreed. We’re talking “verified Zombie virus” levels. Other than that: zero tolerance.

If a club cannot put forward a full matchday squad then they should forfeit the game. And the penalty for forfeit should be relegation. I am quite Draconian on that one.

Agree with this. Thought the reffing massively ignored some very obvious infringements in order to keep the game moving - with the outcome that attacking play was stifled. If you can do what you like in defence, there won’t be many tries nor incentive to attack.

They’d already done it with the redevelopment of Wembley. And then forgotten they had.

It'll go down as 0-1. That was the score.

I am outraged by the visible soccer pitch markings.

As with all this, Meninga has previous for bigging up apparently settled events only for them not to happen. It sometimes feels like he’s the last man in Australia to care about the national side.

It would make an astonishing amount of sense for England to play a warm up game against anyone on the weekend that Australia play France.

How much do the Sportsman pay?

It is free and nationwide.

Did you say the same about the Channel 4 coverage of Super League?

It's telling when it's the immediate follow up to the "this new Challenge Cup format is terrible, Wests are going to all be injured and Halifax hate it" article.

Not in such a useful way on so many fronts. It is almost like we have well renowned media agency involved with the sport to help things along now.

I know it’s the done thing to say Sky humiliate us but … these are all approaches made possible by sharing Sky as a platform with the others.

That is what is currently proposed but no confirmation yet

The massive rigging of the Championship funding in favour of a small group of clubs happened under Wood.

I got a big screen blocking subscribe request but I closed it and could read the article.

It’s a free article.

Oh, and football is called football, (all kinds), because it's a ball game played on foot.

I genuinely think they will have done. The One Show can have very weighty topics next to fluff. The context in which the draw happens will absolutely be part of the discussion. In the same way, advertisers in the press will often have stories/themes they do not want their ads to be next to.
