If other games are on, Barrow in particular (and they win or draw or get a point) and then the result is that Blackpool can't qualify.....this game should be cancelled.
Unless we are desperate for revenue....which I don't think would amount to much.
IMHO

Hope it is rearranged , players need the game time especially the ones coming back from injury !

Forefit the game or whatever. Can't afford the risk of any further injurys probs on what is a glorified friendly.

I agree but we can't just forfeit the game because we would get hammered....
I was thinking back to the last but one (IIRC) NRC when a game still outstanding between us and the Skolars (IIRC) was deemed not necessary to play in similar circumstances when both parties wanted to avoid the expense, trouble and backlog of playing it.
It's down to the RFL.
