Can I book you in for a CT scan my friend

The facts are that the Harlequins v Manly game should now be called off.

Why

Because the forcast for 2 weeks awy is -18 with 42' of snow duuuuuuuh!!!!

1) Bradford had their season preperation squandered by the RFL in the first place when the RFL decided to play Harlequins vs Bradford on February 8th. This meant that Bradford had to cancel a warmup game with Hull KR.

2) It is the second consecutive season that Bradford have had their pre-season squandered by the RFL.

3) It means that Bradford will play Hull KR next weekend with just 2 warm-ups against Whitehaven and Dewsbury. They then get the weekend off the week after and then have Huddersfield the week after that. That leaves 2 competitive fixtures before playing Wigan.

Dont look at my sig then

As previously said... can the the RFL forcast the worst snow in 18 years months in advance?

Well put there Paul and I agree 100% in that the RFL have to cancel the Harlequins v Manly game asap and reinstate the Bradford game.

For many a year now the RFL have messed us the Rugby League loving fan about and this has now gone too far.

Please Leeds will finish 14th, it's upside down

No.

They can however, cancel the game against Manly for

1) Scuppering our pre-season last year
2) Already scuppering it this year.

The only other time to play it would be during the week which would

1) be unfair on the Bradford fans who work
2) Make Bradford play 3 games within a 7 day period.

Integrity should not be damaged purely to grow Rugby League within London.

Highly unfair me thinks.

That has nothing to do with it.

The RFL will try and get away with it by telling Harlequins to play the Bradford game on a Wednesday mid-week.

Many Bradford fans have already said on the forum that they will never visit London away again if they do and I will be joining them.

So Quins will attract more for the Manly game than the Bulls?

Why don't Manly play Celtic - who don't have a game that week.

What a load of rubbish.

Why are people talking about two games before the Wigan game? You are talking as though this is the Grand Final, and the other three games were warm-ups.

Bradford were probably happy with this decision, as they would get a week off in a few weeks. No much anybody could have done about the weather. Stop acting like mard-ar$es.

So your club Dave has a game, week off, game, week off, game, etc.

Is that ideal preparation to start a season with = NO

No

You said no Bulls fans are going Mick

Your team haven't got that.

You have one week off, so why have you put two weeks off in your example? To try and make this look a bigger issue that it is.

It will now go:

Game, Week off, Game, Game, Game etc.

It would have gone:

Game, Game, Week off, Game, Game etc.

No big deal.

The RFL sent the snow? What are they some kind of Bond villain?

Wigan play their first game tomorrow, we play our first game against them next Friday, and yet we haven't complained.

Because we are not idiots, and we understand professional sport.

That was the Avengers movie, wasn't it? And Bananaman.

Must remember to read rest of thread before responding to OP

Back OT, you are asking for this when you start your summer league in early Feb, and you start shifting league fixtures around in order to accomodate a friendly.

I agree that it is too early for the season to start, however we just don't have a long enough summer in the UK.

Last year we started a week earlier due to the World Cup and I don't believe that we had games called off, so we have just been unlucky with the extreme weather this year.

Like Bradford give a flying one when it is Quins traveling up there, remind me just what crappy times we've played you in the last few years?
