Easter fixtures : Fri Feb 19, 2021 3:36 pm  

Super League's Round 2 Easter Weekend schedule has been revealed, with Mose Masoe set to benefit as he continues his rehabilitation from a life-changing injury.

Super League have said the full details of how fans can support Masoe, who suffered a spinal injury following a seemingly innocuous tackle in a pre-season encounter last year, will be announced ahead of the start of the season.

The six games, all live on Sky Sports and set to be played behind closed doors, will see two of Masoe's former clubs meet, with Hull KR playing St Helens at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Thursday April 1.
The fixture featuring the league's defending champions follows the game between last year's losing finalists Wigan Warriors and Wakefield Trinity.
There are two games on Good Friday, with Warrington Wolves taking on Leigh Centurions before Leeds Rhinos play Castleford Tigers.

The round concludes on Easter Saturday as Salford Red Devil’s face Hull FC ahead of the clash between Huddersfield Giants and Catalans Dragons.

Super League executive chairman Robert Elstone said: "Mose Masoe's remarkable spirit and determination provides inspiration for all us.

They are saving those for a time when fans can attend if possible to maximise revenues

We (Leigh) have Pies then Wire, so it looks like us, and your good selves should both be on 4Pts a piece then.

My experience is that you have to play them anyway so you might as well play the favourites before they get into their stride. I know you could argue the other way around but Trinity seem to do better the more difficult the start.

You don’t have to win you just need to play well, that in itself gives you the confidence to win the games you’ve got to win.

In all honesty who the hell really knows their team will have a good season, Saints maybe but things can go wrong even for the best.

Can't argue with that.

This is bob on. Better to face them at the start. With a long pre season, new back room staff and an extended pre season there’s a clear target in sight with Leeds and Wigan.

I see no reason we can’t turn up in round 1 and win. While Leeds had a much improved year last year they have struggled for a few years prior. They’re not yet one of the big boys again and should very much be seen as a mid table rival we should be aiming down our sights at.

Excited to see some rugby!
