    More and more players owed money but the one thing that does not add up is that we have to presume that not a single one of them has approached the RFL over the matter. I mean surely if someone had of gone to the RFL they would have taken action on this wouldn't they?

    Various news stories have included claims from the players that when they had spoken to the RFL, they had been told that Rovers were disputing the amounts owed and that the RFL would only act if Rovers admit they are at fault. As players' contracts are supposed to be registered with the RFL, I wonder whether some of the problem is with things that are non-contractual that might not have formed part of the RFL registered contract, which is why the public stories have been over things like receipts from testimonial games, payments to agents, relocation expenses and so on.

    Although the pensions thing is still only an allegation. The article I read, Vickers conceded a little on the merchandise and debt to agents, but denied the allegations about the pension money. Which if true, surely can't be legal?!

    If you deduct money from an employee's wages for pension contributions, it's legally required to be in the pension by the 22nd of the following month. The pension fund has a legal duty to report this to the pensions regulator if 90 days late. The Pensions Regulator can issue fines for late payments or even for failing to respond promptly to the Pension ombudsman.

    The Breeders both in Manchester.  The Breeders are fine as that is midweek. 

    One of my favourite bands, never seen them live. Kinda impressive that I reckon the best 'rock' track of last few years was released by some sixty-something women. Hoping to go to the Leeds gig, but there's a good chance I won't be in the UK that week.

    Was supposed to see Irish fiddle/accordion player Sharon Shannon in Masham last month, but she cancelled due to illness. Was supposed to see Urban Folk Quartet over in Swaledale last week, but they cancelled due to illness, their banjo player Dan Walsh did a very good solo gig instead. English folk band Leveret up next for me.

    Piece Hall in Halifax has a bit of an all-star line-up this year?

    I’d rather see a team from an area without an existing pro club in the pyramid such as Manchester, Nottingham, Carcassonne, Avignon etc rather than a NCL club from Wigan, Hull, Halifax, Oldham etc

    Yes, would be madness to add an NCL club from a place that already has a pro club in the area - and I think that is all of the current members.

    And of course the switch to summer has been a wonderful success hasn't it? 😑

    Average crowd in the top flight pretty much doubled since the last winter season.

    Amount of money in the game enough to support at least a dozen full-time clubs vs just 1 back then.

    Fair to say that football has got a lot, lot bigger since then too, and rugby union has gone professional.
