3 games in a week. Other than easter, when was the last time bradford had to do that. wasnt there a time when it was common to have midweek fixtures.

And why wouldnt they take the chance to play a leading NRL side. I think they are right to.

point is we're having to do that to accomodate quins, who get the benefit of the manly game as compensation. We only get the disadvantage.

quins are right in taking the opportunity to play manly but why should another team be put at a competitive disadvantage in the league to accomodate this?

To make us go all that way mid week

Like Bradford give a flying one when it is us traveling, oh you are not forced to come either.

If they have to cancel this weekend because the pitch is not up to scratch then they should forfeit their friendly weekend and put the match back where it was supposed to go in the first place.

Awww, dum de dums. Does BG not like the opinion of others?

Anyway, definitely the first option, if it helps you establish who the guy was.. he's been working there for a year and admitted her had no idea about pitches although he knew the pitch inspection was at 4pm. He did add that discussions were ongoing with the RFL to move that forward.

Now sod off back to your little threesome with TB and Mintball.

kthxbye

Why is everybody assuming it'll be midweek re-arrangement?
Harlequins may do what Skolars do and re-arrange for CC Final weekend, hoping to take advantage of the huge amount of RL fans in the capital that weekend to boost the crowd.
