Not sure how much truth there is in this but heard through a Salford fan who has links to a lot of the players that there is a rumour going round linking Hastings with NZ Warriors sooner rather than later... Hoping it's all nonsense but apparently he can just walk out of his contract whenever? Seems...

I don't know if this was the cause or the result of any drop in performance but did anyone else notice he was getting extra grief every time he was tackled and trying to play the ball in the Leeds game? Either that or he was letting any attempts at winding him up get to him as he always looked prope...

"Clock shot"- can someone tell me how this works if the opposition delays/messes around/niggles at the scrum? I heard Hicks calling "shot clock off" a few times so I'm assuming if the opposition is delaying then the countdown is paused and the attacking team won't get penalised ...

Would've assumed this would be Catalans' 'home' game as it was their idea but who knows!

It seems to be the cheaper weekend for flights out of the ones I'd seen suggested so that's not terrible - though it's still not a bargain trip by any means.
