Disappointed we are starting away from home for the second season running, a fairly tough start to 2020 but if we are to be genuine contenders with the squad we have then it should make no difference who or when we play.

Quite like that start to be honest, Nothing to fear from both games, bottom of the table sides last year, looking forward to it

Think its a good idea, should guarantee a full Headingley for the cameras for Toronto's much hyped debut.

Assume it'll be a Saturday or Sunday canr play two games on a Friday night in Winter. Also interesting to see how they split the tickets, can't fit all the Hull and Cas fans in the away end, surely some North Stand seats will be made available, even if it means moving some Leeds fans for one game.

Every Super League club will play in Toronto but their first three "home" games - in effect their home loop games - will be played in the UK. One at Headingley against Castleford, the others are runoured to be at York with the third at a rugby union club.

Good decision, sat through many poor Easter Monday games where the players are tired. And finally all games in the final round kicking off at the same time!
