The idea is folk can still come to rugby then watch the big PL football match afterwards either in the bar or at home. Think a few we’re staying away in favour of football especially if utd/Liverpool etc were on.

 Not a bad idea pal yea it does catch a few out me esp 

[The Voodooguru]

Its a great idea as long as you don't work first shift at weekends ffs. Thought last season was a one off!

Sheffield at home 6pm on a Wednesday is a strange one.

The fixtures are a joke . 5 at home out of the first 7 matches . What's wrong with home  away each week . Totally agree with DavidM and Cumbria RL .With the season being an early start we will be playing most of our home games .in the winter months .so there could be a reduction in the crowd numbers  . If it's pouring down,  Rather than standing in shirt sleeves in the summer months . .What is the logic in the way these fixtures have been done .  Would love to hear an explanation from the RFL.

When have the RFL ever given us a break? We have extra bank Holidays this year and still can't bag a home derby on one.

If you look on the plus side, could be seen as a good chance to get a few early wins and points on the board?

We’ll have a fair idea which way our season is going anyway

Hope it doesn't - last years tradition style kit was great

I agree there’s been a great range of gear this past year or two,I just thought I heard someone saying there was a change this season??

Badly I reckon ! Unless we have a couple of aces still to play on the recruitment front.

I think the kit is the last of our worries. No chairman and very little info on the squad.

Ridiculous asking part time players to play Wednesday night then play 3 days later at the summer bash.

Hate to say it but I feel this way too ATM. I'm sure CT will know what we need and the club will be working hard on it but still need a bit of quality in key areas.

If they continue the traditional theme ( and why wouldn't they) I'm gonna stick my neck out and guess at a reworked championship winning kit with the red and white diagonal pinstripe!

Hard to see where a win will come without adding more experience and quality

Knowing what we need and being able to get it are 2 completely different things unfortunately. I know we won’t be able to fault our lads for effort but in this league you need a bit more than that.

Yes spot on. All sports are about money now. However there is time yet so let's keep the faith.

Indeed. I'm surprised and disappointed  the 200 Club hasn't been filled yet. I had thought on the crest of the wave it might even have increased to the 300 club.
