They put the fixtures live on the website yesterday afternoon and by dinner time today they had gone. An 'admin error'. Some of us were savvi enough to screen shot them all before they were removed



Sheffied away up 1st

Which 4 clubs do we play twice?

22 game season

Only playing Batley, Dewsbury, London and Oldham once

No decision made on summer bash yet

Although there is a weird looking fixture on 13 June vs Featherstone with the venue down as millennium stadium??? I’m not sure the summer bash is that much of a pull but I’d love (covid permitting) to go to wales)

Yeh very strange i presumed that was a miss print. Hasnt superleage magic weekend been moved as far back as September. No way on earth are we travelling to Wales in June

This seasons fixtures are on the Bulls website.Dont think there supposed to be but they went live at 4pm.

Now removed.

They put them live on Thursday and removed them Friday dinner time as well.

Dont suppose it matters really matters for the early games but for for those that like the away trips, havin Newcastle and York away both at the end of August gives us a bit of hope of being there

Same thing happened on the Doncaster Official Site .

Website is run by RFL, so they upload fixtures to website, happened to quite a few clubs.

Opening fixtures not too bad to be honest. That Fax game in the second round could be massive. If we get a win there we have the potential to have a very good tally of points on the table early on.

According to the Bulls website we are playing Featherstone at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff?! Think we may struggle to fill it.

Home or away....

Millennium Support, who provide support for adults with learning disabilities and complex histories within community settings, are one of Featherstone's main sponsors including for the stadium, the name change was announced around a year ago.

So London, Dewsbury, Batley and Oldham are the 4 teams we only play once. Although Toulouse depends on factors outwith the control of the sport. Are we ok with that? The highest ranked of those 4 is London and it's the away game we need to play so I think some clubs will have been slightly advantaged by this "random" fixture list and others disadvantaged.

Always going to be the case with an uneven fixture list. Not having to go to Batley is a plus though, despite it being my favourite away day, it's a tough place to go. And get two points.

Widnes only have to play Toulouse AND Fev once so they've certainly benefitted from the uneven fixture list.

Those first 6 fixtures are all winnable, with Halifax at home looking like the toughest one. We could conceivably go into that London away game with a 6/6 win rate. Less than a 4/6 win rate I think I would be a little disappointed.

Someone’s worked out the reason for Widnes having a lower seeding and slightly easier draw. It’s based on the 2019 season finish and Widnes of course had their 12 point penalty so were artificially low. It is what it is I suppose

Agreed. Also it's a top 6 play off this year so if we start well, it puts us in a very strong position to be in the play-offs. If we get in the play-offs then it's game on. As Fev proved 2 years a go. Get in the play-offs ahead of us by a single point. Were 10 mins away from getting into SL.

I'll be honest If we fail to make the top 6 I think we've done very poorly.

£4.95 good price to watch games

I dunno about anyone else but I'm really struggling to care about how we do this season. I've been a season ticket holder for over 25 years and I can't remember ever feeling more apathetic as I do right now. I admit some of that is probably due to the situation re the pandemic, but not all of it.
We're not promotion contenders in my opinion. Not even close. It already feels like all our hopes are resting on Brough and when he inevitably gets injured, we'll be screwed.

Yes, but I think a lot is due to the current situation (grateful to have my health but for me each day/week just melts into another) and the fact that the team have not played for nearly a year.

With some luck on injuries top 6 is achievable and yes Toulouse & Fev squads look particularly strong but there are 6 - 7 teams with little to choose between and thus I am expecting close, hard fought, entertaining games won/lost in the last 10 minutes. A couple of games under our belts and I think enthusiasm will return.

Mid table sounds about right.
