    The two increased attendances for clubs v Catalan are unsurprisingly Wire last year and Wakey this, for the simple reason tickets to attend were reduced to £5.

    The main attraction for the existence of the 2 French clubs amongst UK fans is a few days away supporting their team, apart from that I doubt that they will be missed. 

    Fans like you drag the game back

    I don't know who is keeping Salford going, or how, but I'm pretty sure that they will complete their fixtures this season. It would be too embarrassing to the sport if they didn't. Maybe the financial implications of them folding mid season outweigh the alternative? I don't know? I'm just enjoying the drama.

    If they fold mid season sky could cut the funding

    I'm not sure the bridging loan is the key here.

    If it were the case that the bridging loan solved the immediate issues, and it was due imminently, why would the winding-up be adjourned until September?

    HMRC would surely prefer payment once these funds have landed.

    It’s been pushed back as they haven’t got the money yet, they have seen “proof” but until the money is there they will meet again in September

    There's no suggestion at this stage that will happen with Radley - obviously a developing situation that a lot are speculating about but very unlikely to be this season if it does happen. 

    Absolute no to Iro and I'm confident Wane will agree. Just because he might qualify because he was born here, same as Sam Walker, he is no way shape or form English. 

     

    Not saying we would pick him or he’d pick us but why no? Got as much right as anyone

    I would think so. He's going well and I'm glad he's getting his career going now but I think his target should probably be next years World Cup. The lad has really worked on his conditioning and looks fitter and stronger than ever. Hopefully he can get another 18 months of experience under his belt and make a play for that squad. 

    I agree he’s only young and another 18 months he could really be something

    Yeah might be a bit early for him. If he keeps up his form for the rest of the season he might be worth a chance though. He’s quite big too which is something that is needed at international level

    I agree he’s a strong ball carrier and could be a great impact prop

    Its a completely toxic situation. 

    All those, including agents who advised players to sign there, and especially the coach who persuaded players to sign/stay with the club should hang their head in shame.

    Interesting take? The coach rowley wouldn’t know the exact details if anyone is to blame Paul king is up there 

    don’t forget rowley is also not getting paid

    Nigel is keeping us waiting.

    We won't get much out of him until after the Council meeting on 15 July, at which he is likely to become the RFL Chairman.

    I do know that he's spent quite a bit of time recently in London speaking to Sky Sports about likely future broadcasting scenarios for Rugby League, while also marshalling the Super League club owners to accept they have a common interest in making their competition as attractive as possible for potential investors.

    The clubs have the final say in how many teams comprise Super League and they seem to have moved en masse to wanting 14 as early as next season, although such a move isn't yet guaranteed. I believe that Nigel has been tasked with finding the money that will enable the clubs to maintain their current distribution levels, both for them and for any new clubs coming into the competition, and that won't include Catalans losing their share of the distribution.

    And anyone who claims that the NRL won't make a move for Super League because of Nigel's appointment is talking nonsense.

     

    They won’t want Nigel involved though will they. 
     

    the fan reaction alone shows how silly this move is
