the other games I think are even

I would have thought

fax v fev
bradford v leigh

would have been fairer

Very good point, both games would attract the big end of day crowd, but perhaps as the season progresses couldn't each team say "its not fair we had to play ***** three times whilst the other clubs etc etc.
Its what we have got, lets get on with it.
Bring it on.

A great fixture but is it just me that thinks we are a victim of the RFL's ludicrous ideas here?

Is it fair that we play a full time team on nearly triple our salary cap in an "extra" game for which points are available? We have to play this team three times as opposed to every team playing them twice. Surely The Dulls should be playing The Broncos?

Agreed. IF it lost us two points it could prove costly.

You will beat Bradford, after we maul them on the opening day they will be shot for the season - imagine the fun you will have running 60 past them live on Sky and the huge crowds it will bring back as a consequence.

Yours in Hope

You beat me to it.
Looks like they have got the days wrong with putting Leigh v Fev on the Saturday.

The Beeb on the ball as ever. And also completely ignoring that Blackpool Panthers ever existed!

It isn't all that different to us being drawn against huddersfield at magic weekend for last two or three years. Local derby but a wholly pointless mismatch.

I'd imagine you'll give us a far better game than we gave the Giants.
