The first Sunday game is the weekend after the easter double header which makes sense.
The second Sunday game (Catalan) may be because the stadium is hosting the cricket WC on the Saturday so isn't available for Friday night? Not been an issue before but maybe.
But the third one is Hull which makes no sense on a Sunday as far as I can see.

Poor decision not to advise the season ticket holders of 4 aawy games, and very tight home games.
Also the club have just said, following feedback from the club’s Supporters Board and direct feedback from fans, the Rhinos are pleased to include three home games on Sunday afternoon’s at Emerald Headingley. Not a happy bunny !!!!!!

Looking at the full fixtures, that's 7 Sunday Home/ Away games for the coming season.

Ridiculous those first four games away from home. I understand possibly why, but that doesn't make it right. The club should have advised of that before getting people buying season tickets. Now we have a collection of home fixtures at a time when people might have been missing for holidays, etc, but now find instead of one game they might miss two or three.

Yes, we're going to miss Catalans and Saints at home as they are in the middle of the main summer school holidays and we already have a holiday booked. We usually expect to miss one match but it is frustrating to miss two of the better fixtures.

I'm glad there's more Sunday games.

I like the odd Sunday game, although I’m glad most of our fixtures are Friday night.

Im a firm Friday nightist.

Theres nothing better than finishing work for Friday nights under the lights at Headingley for me. Great start to the weekend and leaves the rest of it free for other pursuits.

Absolutely, that's the club's gameday and it's worked for over two decades with maybe one Sunday afternoon family game thrown in each year. At a suburban ground like Headingley it works well.
