With Featherstone playing in the cup on May 18th, will we be playing a mid week game, or will they use the semi final weekend which is after the final league game? I presume the RFL would want all the fixtures played before then?
I assume that they left that weekend free so all the clubs in all 3x8 leagues can have the 2 weeks to sort out stewarding arrangements, etc. for the remaining 7 games. So guess this would be a big no-no.
I also believe that the RFL regs say something along the lines that you have to re-arrange the game to be played within 2 weeks, unless you can get agreement with the RFL for mitigating circumstances (a free weekend for both teams could be an example).
However I would guess there may be some mitigation here with Fev having to traval to France for the CC game on the 16th May and both teams having to back up from tough games in Blackpool the weekend of the 23rd/24th May. So I would guess that the game is likely to be 3rd June.
