Sorry old boy I meant Toulouse, though it wouldn’t be a TRL thread without Toronto getting a mention.

Looks like they’ve replaced the traditional Friday/Monday fixtures over Easter with Friday, Tuesday/Wednesday then Sunday.

Add in golden point extra time and I hope clubs are running bigger squads this year!

Surely professional clubs should be able to play fixtures anytime.

They can, it is more of the inconvenience to fans that is the gripe.

They can. But what about the part-timers?

A Bradford Bulls Spokesperson added: “We fully support the decision for Leeds Rhinos’ Emerald Headingley Stadium to host our away fixture against Dewsbury Rams in what promises to be a fantastic afternoon of action on and off the field."

Same spokesperson who's been making lots of announcements recently?

Also see that Dewsbury are starting the season off on a Friday night in January against a team that you'd expect to bring a few supporters on a Sunday afternoon but that spot's being occupied by their house guests against a team that won't bring many whenever the game was played......

And Batley are also at home. Great job by the fixture planners.

Widnes versus Leigh away, Bradford home, Halifax away in 9 days.  Many thanks to the fixture planning department for this.

Either you are an SL ready pro club or you arent. 

I have no idea what you’re on about but the facts are, there are a number of clubs in our second tier who now have a midweek game scheduled, some just 72 hours after their last game and around their normal employment schedule.

Fans need to get used to it I'm afraid. Ita the same as the moans about SL on a Thursday. We cant expect everything in our favour

Isn't that what you get the 2 million for ?

So full time teams can't play 3 games in 9/10 days despite running reserves , therefore having more players available next year ?

But part time teams will play 3 times in 9/10 days including mid week despite probably having less players available due to less DR and loans next year ?

Given home advantage up but what about gate money?

Rugby League will never be straight forward with the way it's being run a lately.
