You would expect so. That will be another Sun afternoon game gone, not that the club can be blamed but very annoying as we will end up playing 4 Sun afternoon home games in the
regular season.

Agreed, it's what the club and fans want, but 4 games in your preferred slot is poor!

On a nostalgia front, Salford away in the CC got me thinking of Darren Fritz's last game for us iirc, a right battle at the willows. We then got stiffed by Whitfield & Northern in the next round!

My two sons fly into the UK on Friday morning, just in time to miss the game... seems the rugby gods that kindly gave us a game that weekend have been usurped by the TV gods that took it away again.☹️

If you had first choice wanting to attract as many viewers as you could the you would definitely go with hull v cas and wire v Wigan

Maybe even the Beeb don't like Dr Koolcash

Was that the game where thei Bradford winger got tackled into touch 10 yards from the line and Whitfield gave a try because he couldn't keep up with play? Funnily enough I was thinking about that incident only the other day.

Neil Summers wasn't it? he was tackled a couple of yards short of the line but jumped up and began celebrating, the referee just assumed he'd scored. The YEP did a four frame photo showing how short he was.

Leeds game has been changed to Saturday June 10th with a 1900 kick off time.
