Another Leeds love-fest again then I see.

It's ridiculous... we shouldn't be playing the Thursday after the CC for a start, although this has been mentioned numerous times. Neither should it be televised because it could potentially be a terrible match and I expect the sky commentary will be frothing at how good Leeds are against a tired hull team. Frustrating!

Tired back to back CC winners has a much better ring to it! Imagine when we beat Leeds! (fingers crossed)

I hope you're right! It is puzzling when I hear many RL pundits bemoan the quality of the games this season and then Sky/RFL decide we play so soon after the final when we could easily have played on Saturday or Sunday. Sorry to repeat previous posts but I'm not expecting a spectacle on the Thursday

... it could also be the game which prevents us from finishing 2nd.

If Leeds had won the Semi final, they could quite easily have claimed the same thing as the fixtures were released before the semi.

Rank poor decision on scheduling

BUT, it could be argued, Football has kicked off, so Friday/Saturday aren't attractive for big games, a meaningful game in the Thursday might be exactly why Sky scheduled it?
