Agreed - so get the fook on with it and pick a date - stop fannying around.

We want it at the lane, better atmosphere, closer to the pitch, better ground etc, Uni*ted don't want us playing before their game on Saturday so we'll have to play Sunday, you lot are kicking up a fuss cos you want it on Friday night, but at the end of the day if you wanted a say in when the playoff games should be played you should've probably won a few more games earlier on in the season. As it happens I agree that, although it happens week in week out in the regular season, whoever wins out of us two will be at a disadvantage when we play the final eliminator due to the Sunday/Thursday turnaround. Although I have to be honest, I think it'll all be academic anyway as I think Leigh and Featherstone are currently streets ahead of anything else in this league.

Enjoy the game (whenever it may be!)

We picked a date straight after the Widnes game sunshine.

Fev and Leigh weren't streets ahead when we turned 'em over in their own backyards

Personally I don't get this 4 day turn around business and think it's, statistically, not going to effect the outcome of the next game anymore so than a 6 day turnaround. I'm sure Fax have actually won more of these games than not. However, obviously if we are requesting it then the players feel different so that's fair enough.

At the end of the day though, Sheffield have earned Home advantage and their say should go and that's that.

Not really, we picked a date and told Fax, they don't like it, cried to the RFL, hence no announcement yet.

So as I said , ' the plot thickens ' , I was questioning the Eagles over the delay in announcing when and where , your suggestion is that it is Fax that are the problem

Don't be daft as a game like this should be agreed by BOTH clubs as it is only the week or less before the winners will play at Fev or Leigh. Would you be happy if it was the other way around???
But I am sure Mr Aston will do his damnest to make life difficult for us and pass all the blame onto us as always.
