In this month's Forty-20: Brian Noble says Wigan can do the double; Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook goes hunting with Keiron Cunningham and Angela Powers catches up - eventually - with Bradford-bound Jarrod Sammut.
BBC commentator Dave Woods takes us behind the microphone at Wembley; Tony Hannan looks back at a thrilling Challenge Cup final and the fall-out from Sam Tomkins's now infamous 'V' sign; and Andy Wilson pays tribute to Sean Long.
We have Dave Hadfield's Good RL Pub Guide; Richard Mathers with the player's view of big match nerves; the second part of our interview with RFL boss Nigel Wood; and there are reports from London, Swinton, Salford, Townsville, Sydney, Penzance, Lebanon, Penzance and Rhode Island!
Oh and you can win yourself a pair of Super League Grand Final tickets too. Plus much much much more - and only one very brief mention of the Rugby Union World Cup.
Issue three of Forty-20 - the rugby league magazine for grown-ups - is in local newsagents, northern branches of WH Smiths and various national branches of ASDA (see here www.scratchingshedpublishing.co. ... confirmed/ for list) on Tuesday 13 September.
Or alternatively subscribe here to the paper edition - www.scratchingshedpublishing.co.uk/magazine/ - or here to the online edition (only £5 for three issues) - www.exacteditions.com/exact/browse/660/1295

Hi folks
Understand your frustration - distribution problems are the bane of all small publishers' lives and we're no exception. We are doing our best to get the mag as widely available as possible and given that we are only three issues old aren't doing too badly all told. We SHOULD be in most northern WHSmiths by now, plus the list of national ASDA stores in the opening post. We understand a few ASDAs (in Yorkshire mainly by the look of it) have gone AWOL this month - hopefully temporarily - and are investigating that. You can actually help us if the mag isn't where you expect to find it by asking why not. That will let them know that people want it.
The easiest way to ensure you get your copy on time, of course, is to subscribe to either the paper or online editions - links again above - but if you don't want to do that, any local newsagent in the country can place either a one-off or regular order for you from their wholesaler, assuming it isn't already on their shelves. Your best bet for finding Forty-20 locally seems to be Post Offices, Spars and off-licences who sell papers and magazines. The Wigan, Warrington, Leeds and Salford club shops also stock Forty-20.
We are currently working on getting the mag into garages/train stations/airports etc via Smiths Travel and hopefully from the start of next season will be in more supermarkets, including the Co-op.
Anyway, we appreciate all the kind words about the mag so far. We set out to provide rugby league with something a bit different to anything else out there and it looks like we've achieved that (when you can find us, obviously!).
To keep in touch with what we are up to (and contact us direct) follow us on Twitter at @forty20magazine, or me personally @tonehannan - you can also email us direct at sales@forty-20.com
Onward and upward

editor-at-large, Forty-20

We are currently embarked on getting the mag into London/South East via WH Smiths generally and are looking into why the Oxford Branch didn't re-order, so there should be some developments soon, hopefully.
Oxford St actually sold out of issue one, which shows you some of the weird stuff we are up against.

Yeah that was why I was so confused about issue 2 as I noticed all of issue 1 were sold out. (congrats on that) Maybe it was rugby overload mate as I have noticed about 4/5 union magazines in there cause of the union world cup!

| I was pleased to be able to locate and purchase a copy of issue 3 in the village store in Mawdesley, Lancs, today. I also saw issue 2 in WH Smith in the Manchester Arndale Centre WH Smiths and the newsagents adjacent to Picadilly Gardens metrolink stop, if that helps anyone in that area.

| Never read this. Does Mr Hannan use it as a platform to slate off every aspect of the modern game, or is that strictly the preserve of his Twitter feed? If it's the latter, I'm looking forward to getting a copy.
