No conspiracy here I'm afraid, just something that happens all the time, whether that be rugby league or more important news events. For example, news of Bruce Forsyth's knighthood was all over Twitter well before the embargo, and that's news from the government!
At a guess, judging by the sites which 'broke' the story, I think most of their news comes from one source, so rather than the BBC, Sky and the Super League website all breaking it, I'd assume it came from the same place.
