| I'd like to see it. It gets on my nerves when you pay out a load of money, drive for hours get to the game and find out Sam Tomkins or O'Loughlin aren't playing.
Also the press/publicity reasons.

Then don't support a one man team.

| Releasing team news before the game will not help with the publicity of the game.
Admittedly, for internationals it does, but can you tell me that announcing whether Jon Wilkin or Lance Hohaia is going to cause media interest to skyrocket?
Indeed, as it is at the moment should be perfect. 48 hours allows journalists to speculate but sadly, I don't think any editors would devote column inches to such discussions.

So what happens if for example Wigan name their 17 on Thursday to play Hull & O'Loughlin is named in the team, only for you to get to the ground on Friday night to find out he's pulled out injured?

| running the rlfans fantasy rugby league we have noticed inconsistencies in the reporting of team sheets & scorers, I would have thought a good plan for the RFL would be to have the official teams online pretty much straight after the game, in order to give a place the media can get consistent information.

| Ok not many people think it's a good idea.
What about the second point though, it should be known 24 hours before kick off which dual registration players you are facing, and if one has to pull out he's replaced from the host club's squad rather than drafting in another dual reg.
As things stand the sport accepts that there is a degree of second guessing what the team will be, especially at Championship level where no squads are named at the 48 hour stage, but when the number of dual reg players could be as many as five it gives an unfair advantage to the club benefitting from dual registration.
