From reading on Twitter, may not be true but says most clubs are trying to arrange the postponed games for evening this week. Hope that's true for Bulls.

8) This probably means we're effectively pencilled in for a double fixture over Easter then, what with the next round of the CC not taking place until April 21st/22nd

We've got the postponed home game against Skolars to fit in somewhere too, although I suspect we'll leave that until later in year and play it on a cup weekend after we're knocked out.

If that's the case we'd need to be quick, as they restart scheduling league games quite quickly in our division since most Champ 1 teams don't last too long when the SL teams appear. If we have some luck with our cup games we may even be in the position of having to cancel more league fixtures to play cup matches.

Fax/Oldham and Crusaders/Fev are both on Tuesday evening. No word from Coventry or Hunslet as far as I've seen yet.

Cheers pal, they didn't mess around sorting them out did they.

I'd think as early as possible so as not to impact too much on next weekends game. The weather is going to get warmer pretty quickly, which is a good sign.

3 games in 10/11 days then. Think we'll have to use plenty of our squad for this period. Personally, i'd give plenty of the fringe players a go for the cup game. Leave Chissy out, then start him for the league game.

Agreed. I'm not bothered about the cup. Promotion is key.

I completely get that the league is number one priority; however if we cannot finish top of this league with the experience and depth we have then we have a very serious issue.

Getting through this round could be worth thousands of pounds in revenue and this has to be put equally on par over these next few weeks. If we don't then it ultimately effects our ability to strengthen later in the season or even next year.
