Melbourne's admirable regard for the history of the competition and its records was on show again on Saturday night when coach Craig Bellamy made a big deal of the fact Cameron Smith had won more games than anyone else in premiership history following the 28-6 win over Penrith, the skipper's 238th "W". The stat was mentioned in passing in the lead-up to the game but almost kept under wraps by the Storm until full-time. However, some of the impact was lost by the fact Melbourne's media conference didn't start until 10pm – a regular occurrence at home games. I was in Fairfax Media's Pyrmont offices and saw the quotes coming in too late for inclusion in the Sun-Herald's late edition. NRL rules say the winning team should be in the press conference by 20 minutes after full-time, and the losing team five minutes after that. They can agree to swap. 3. Secret squads due It's not something anyone wants to advertise but all the squads of the competing countries in the World Cup are due to be submitted over the coming week or so. The 40-man squads are strictly confidential and can be changed but we all know how good rugby league is at keeping secrets. Perhaps the most sensitive information isn't who misses out on the various teams but how many players are picked by two or even three countries. Meanwhile, two weeks ago we told you Kurt Gidley wore a camera during a game, a first for the sport. Apparently it copped a knock early and his Warrington coach, Tony Smith, ordered it removed at half-time because it seemed to be distracting him. To quote Paul Gallen from our first item, "back to the drawing board".

4. April Fools joke on Turnbull If you go to a certain page on the Australian Parliament website, you'll get a message, "Sorry, there was an error generating this page". According to a Reddit "sub" dedicated to the NRL, that page was on Saturday titled in such a way that it featured a speech by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. But what was actually there was the entire North Queensland-South Sydney match from Friday night. Yeah, right? You can't believe everything you read on the internet – but who'd come up with something as bizarre as that? Pirating of matches is of course a major issue for the NRL. The YouTube page which features whole games appears to be run by the official governing body of the sport in the Ukraine! 5. Auto Giro does it again Lote Tuqiri once appeared in these pages as "auto giro" after an entire rugby league story was mistakenly spell-checked. Chances are, you weren't even aware dual international Tuqiri "changed his name" to Lote Land over the weekend. Whatever Lotto paid the Fijian and Australian Test star for the social media blitz, it's hard to see it being worth it.
