More likely it's not been communicated by SL to media yet and someone at a club has passed him the info. The RFL provide the news to journalists well in advance. There is no scoop, no digging. He was given the info and broke the embargo. 1

Yes - only last month he broke the news of the Aston Tribunal decision an hour before the embargo time. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

WN83 Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Lets hope they've managed to come up with a full fixture list that doesn't see a club playing another three times before they've played a couple of others once.

Really painful. lets hope they have managed to clash most of the rhinos home fixtures with Leeds utds home ties or away kick off times like they have been doing last season - isnt it great? next season hasnt even started yet and we have a thread about it with plenty to moan and groan about - brilliant! see you later undertaker - in a while necrophile

So is this a collective decision for all games to kick off at different times, surely Leeds wouldn't choose a Saturday afternoon for this one?

They definitely wouldn't. Unless its a BBC pick I can't see why you would undermine club's earning potential like this. All the Saturday kick offs last year will have cost Leeds a fortune.
whatmichaelsays Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Quote ROUND EIGHT - RIVALS ROUND Thursday April 17: Wakefield vs Castleford - 8pm Friday April 18: Hull FC vs Hull KR - 12.30pm - exclusively live on Sky Sports Friday April 18: Wigan vs St Helens - 3pm - exclusively live on Sky Sports Friday April 18: Leeds vs Huddersfield - 5.30pm Saturday April 19: Leigh vs Warrington - 1.30pm Saturday April 19: Catalans vs Salford - 6pm FFS, In what world are Huddersfield anyone's "rivals"? Two opening games on a Saturday and this? The fixture planners clearly hate Leeds.

Gooleboy Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Catalans v Salford and Leeds v Huddersfield are rivals!!! Says who?

Chrispmartha Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 Really hope Leeds don’t get a lot of saturday/sunday games, the odd few is fine but there were far too many for my liking last year. 1

Archie Gordon Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 It's been a really poor effort by SL on the fixture release front. 1
whatmichaelsays Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 (edited) Only six home Friday night games for Leeds and four games (all traditionally bigger gates for Leeds) on Saturdays. That's really poor. From the sounds of the press release, SL has tried to avoid having lots of games clashing at the same time, which is a good thing for TV audiences. But it feels like a short straw has been drawn here (probably because Leeds aren't told when they can and can't play by a football club). Edited November 21, 2024 by whatmichaelsays 1
Archie Gordon Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 Looks as if the BBC are doing the random days/times, and presumably channels, thing again. Disappointing.

The Saturday games are a mixture of 1730 (2), 1500 (1) and 1430 (1) kick offs. The last round of matches, we are against Wigan, is TBC. I think there has been some comment towards the club being too weeknight focused in recent times, so I think it's a fair balance.
sweaty craiq Posted November 21, 2024 Posted November 21, 2024 Probably been said but we, Leigh, appear in 7 Thursday fixtures!!! The day hated by fans/corporate etc and we appear in 7 of them considering there would be 52 an average would be 4/5 per club say 2 home and 2 away. Hope Sky are paying for this honour
