| Several posts on Twitter that League Express are about to break a big story.
Someone from TotalRL wrote:
"Good grief. The lead story in @leagueexpress this week is going to send the game into meltdown. Rugby league fans cannot afford to miss it!"
League Express responded with:
"Plenty of activity on social media regarding our big story in the new paper. All shall be revealed soon, just make sure you don't miss it."
Anyone have any ideas??

| Have been wondering when we'd hear anything about McNamara's England future? Could it be he's leaving?
I know not exactly "meltdown" but I doubt whatever the news is that it will cause that exaggerated claim.

IIRC Bradford pretty much said they couldn't continue spending in 2016 what they were in 2015. I remember it because it put James Lowes petulant and rather childish outburst just after losing the deciding game with Wakefield (I just can't use the term "Million Pound Game", it's horrific) into a bit more context and could maybe see how he'd gone from favouring the system early in the season to being dead set against it, if he'd have to downgrade his squad if they didn't get promoted.
So I wouldn't be suprised if they're now not happy with Leigh being able to spend more when they either can't or aren't willing to match it and keep up.

Nice bit of speculation but totally wrong .
Story is actually about Salford and payments to players bradfords only involvement is we asked rhetorically why investigation was dragging on so long.

I was only going off what number 6 said. I do know though Bradford are struggling to spend enough to compete with Leigh, they put a lot of money into last year in the hope of promotion.
Doesn't sound good for Salford though, wasn't Sean Long after them for unpaid wages too?
If what Green alleges in the article is true (that it was discovered at Puletua's tribunal he had 2 contracts) then I agree with him. It needs sorting and quickly. And every signing made by Salford under Koukash needs examining closely and they need a very harshly penalty applied to them including looking at whether any directors or Salford employees need banning from the sport.
At first I thought it was League Express wetting themselves over not much, but when you read it it could be a massive issue for the RFL. Melbourne Mk 2.

| I had heard that a player had 2 contracts - one paid by the club and the other paid by another business owned by the club owner. If true and done to break the salary cap I hope the club is hammered and the owner asked to leave the game. Not sure this is the story in the paper as I have not seen it.

| It's just another over-hyped story to sell a sports newspaper. This kind of stuff does the game no favours...

| Question is though, what happens if Salford get a points deduction and didn't make it to 0 before super eights kick in? RFL need to think long and hard how to deal with this situation.

Not if the allegations about 2 contracts are true it's not.
If they're true it's a very big RL story.

They'd be bottom, as per us last year, and have ages to prepare for the middle 8's, which will send Leigh into meltdown. The whole of the Championship will be molten.
