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

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. |

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. |

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.

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? |

They can however, cancel the game against Manly for
1) Scuppering our pre-season last year
2) Already scuppering it this year.

Bradford were not happy.. this game with Hull KR is part of Stanley Genes move to Hull KR and as a result of the RFL fixture planning etc has been called off twice.
If they are going to let the Australian team play a friendly though the logical thing would be for it to be the team who would have played the SL team in that week. |

The reason this is now a big issue is due to the weather though, which has been extreme. |

Should of played either Quins or Hull KR this week so that's game off, Hull KR at home (game), game off so Quins can play Manly and game vs Huddersfield.
So Im right in what I say, Game Off, Game, Game Off, Game, Game |

It should be called off because Quins v Manly is just a friendly, nothing more, nothing less.
That is a fact.
The RFL should scrap the game and play the Quins v Bulls fixture instead. |

That was be being me.
Yes I do understand that it will be hard for you guys to come up to Odsal like last season at 6pm on a Monday, but I'm not moaning about kick-off times.
Im ed off with the fact that the RFL see Harlequins v Manly as a bigger game then Harlequins v Bradford.
One is a friendly, one a Super League game.
This is my point, the RFL made us cancel the Hull KR friendly, so why don't they make you do the same with the Manly game. |
