Cornwall - Crusaders has been moved to Truro College, but due to limited capacity you won't be able to pay at the gate only ticket holders can get in.

And kick-off has been brought forward to 12.30. Otherwise, as you were.

Do we not have regulations about this kind of thing?

Hopefully everyone travelling to cheer on Crusaders gets to watch the game. Assuming the early kick off doesn't scupper their travel plans.

It was done after consultation with the RFL and the Cru. The problem was that the pitch at their normal ground was already waterlogged and with more rain forecast had no hope of drying out.

You can’t mess around with away supporters like that. If it can’t be played then postpone

Wouldn't postponing it also mess around the away supporters?

I'm pretty sure the NWC fans won't have planned to just nip down to Cornwall on a last minute whim. Most are likely to have overnight accommodation booked.

And would also expect to be able to pay on the gate.

Wonder what the capacity of the ground is if it's so limited that there's no ground admission on the day.

Ironic that it's the Cru game that's been moved, given all their ground problems last year.

Cornwall 16-40 North Wales FT

[Yorks Tim]

Hurricanes 30 Newcastle 16 half time. 

Midlands rather sloppy but comfortable in the lead. Thunder got plenty of flight in them so it's a good game. 

My first time in the main stadium and I'm really impressed. 

[Yorks Tim]

Canes win 70-16. Some good tries, just need to work on defence.

Should Thunder have bothered getting over the line for this season? Would they not have been better regrouping this year and going again next year?

If we hadn't have gone again this year I don't think we would've gone next year to be honest. 

We have to keep backing the team, we knew it would be difficult and it is.

Keighley 58-16 Workington

Rochdale 24-26 Hunslet

[ATLANTISMAN]

Looks like it's going to be a long season for 2/3 clubs.

Quite disappointed Cornwall seem to have stagnated.

Exactly.

Get stuck in. It's tough this year as most team have made improvements and it won't be any easier next year.

You've done this before, you can do it again. Good luck to you.
