I'm in a similar position. Hoping I can get the tickets I want on Wednesday.

York sign outside back Scott Galeano from Queensland Cup side Sunshine Coast Falcons.

With a 13 team Championship this season there is of course one of those teams with a bye each week. It would be possible that each round a different Championship team (those with the bye) plays an exhibition match against whichever SL team was supposed to play Salford if they did end up dropping out. It wouldn't necessarily be competitive but would allow a 6th televised match (if that is contractually required) with least disruption.

That's very generous of you. It might be more fair if the RFL or SL were to compensate them instead though!

What of all the fans of Championship clubs who've already booked and paid for trips to see their teams in Toulouse this year?

World Rugby League would certainly make more sense than NRL. It is international rather than national already with New Zealand Warriors. That's before a PNG team are added and then the rumour of UK and France under the same brand.

I believe that away fans are also allocated some seats in the Neil Fox Stand (opened barely a year ago and possessing a roof amongst its other facilities) if you would rather that than stand on the terrace.

To be fair to our leaders, we are in the process of moving to three divisions of 12 teams, hence going from 10 to 11 in L1 this year before 12 next year. A 12 team division should be a lot better, but for this year with 11 teams there obviously has to be bye weeks. In regard to some of the other weeks Rochdale have had/will have off, if they had won their Challenge Cup and 1895 Cup fixtures they wouldn't have those extra blank weeks.

1. Will a Super League team win to nil? No 2. Will a Championship team score more than 7 tries? No 3. Will Huddersfield be bottom of Super League at the end of the weekend? Yes 4. Will there be a game in League 1 that has a combined points total of 70 or more? Yes 5. Will there be a match that finishes level after 80 minutes across all 3 professional divisions? No Tiebreaker: How many combined points will be scored by teams (place names) that start with the letter 'W' in all 3 divisions? 126

I've just watched this - it's over 20 minutes long, but I found it interesting. Sparked in part by a broadcast camera facing through the door between changing rooms and toilets catching players peeing earlier this year, it discusses the legality (in Australia at least) of filming/broadcasting the players in the changing rooms and sought player and fan views on the activity - a number of players not being comfortable with it but feeling forced to accept it. It's always struck me that if there is one place in a stadium that shouldn't have cameras it's the changing rooms.

You'd better stop there - wishes come in 3s, you've used yours all up!

I try to forget, but you keep reminding us!

I think his role was to go in and see what they needed to do to get on an even keel. Wasn't it on Carter's recommendation that Salford were told to start selling players? They decided not to at the time and the RFL didn't force them to.

I assume as the sport's national governing bodies in the proposed territories the RFL and FFR XIII would need to be on board with the NRL's rumoured proposal for it to be official rather than rogue? Could we have three different competing visions for the sport within the next couple of weeks - the IMG vision, the NRL vision and the Wood led RFL vision? Is our own Super League war on the way?

As terrible as anyone having any kind of brain injury is, I assume that everyone making a claim has a brain injury of some kind (otherwise they wouldn't be taking legal action). Doesn't this article just identify the proportion of claimants that show signs of a certain condition (CTE) rather than other conditions (eg Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer)?
