We couldnt have asked for a harder opening three games in Toulouse, Leigh and Broncos, probably the three sides I’d expect to be in the top three places in this league. I just hope fans don’t start running the players down or getting on their backs, it’s a long old season ahead and I’m sure Fordy will know what’s needed and we will be better for the tough start and know the standards that are required at this level for this season. 

Spot on Andy. We have had a tough start but now we have our first win I am sure that will have given everyone associated with the club a big boost. So much to look forward to. Stadium coming soon. Let’s kick on and show everybody what this club is about. Up the fantastic Knights.

A good home draw for a change with a chance to progress. Thats all that needs saying for now cos Hornets wont be coming to just make up the numbers.

Yes John, and a similar score for the home side will do us nicely . But its the cup, as the Broncos just found out, so need to tread warily.

John and Vicky would be still doing a conga around the retail park at Wembley right about now with some Leigh and 'Fax whilst everyone else would be waking up to take on the Broncos.

Challenge cup now sham with Toronto pulling out do Newcastle get a bye to last 8.

 

with no matches do york, fev, Sheffield, Newcastle and Widnes play matches against each other to get some game time so they don't get badly injured against fully intense super league teams.

Problem all championship and league 1 teams have now is you have 4 weeks to get into training for potentially 1 game until the Autumn when the RFL have their tournament planned with most team players and staff furloughed is it worth it?

Nope.

With The Challenge Cup according to Sheffield Eagles who have pulled out and the statement on their club website states.... As a club we proposed that the ‘prize money’ for the losing sides exiting the competition in the next round, the sixth round, (is) £7,500.. 

Definitely doesn't seem worth playing for they have also pulled out of the Autumn Cup that's at least 3
