So we have Leeds London and probably Bradford or Featherstone (whoever wins) at home as I expect Batley will win against swinton. If they lose or draw provided Bradford/feath isn't also a draw then it will be Batley.

So Salford/Leigh/KR and (probably) Batley away.

You've requested to play away first due to town being at home for the first game of the football league season. Leeds have done the same also due to pitch being relaid.

Let's hope it's Leigh away first then.

Please then we can give Ryan a big warm welcome back I will be happy if we give you a game and don't fall to bits again like last year

Doesn't matter who we play because we are back where we were when all this started bottom of the league.

I still believe now as I did then that the bottom team should be relegated and top be champions if you have promotion and relegation whether that was us, Leeds, Hull KR or Salford.

Would now be a bigger irony if the MPG was us vs Leigh as the game was that won us promotion and we no longer have Stanley Gene to inspire us !!

Sorry but we waited far too long to move PA on and now it's a lottery when most of our competitors have more tickets (home games)

Think we should be seeing the middle 8s as a thankful opportunity.

Without them in place, we would have just been relegated.

Yes I agree although we would still have had 4 matches to turn it around in a full season I guess.
