Yeah.

nope, historically it's also colder in November and March to November would clash with even more of the football season.

And have no internationals?

Second weekend into new season and we have a back log hahaha impressive

Not true.

The mean temperature in Manchester, Leeds and Hull is a couple of degrees higher in November than February. November is wetter although in Manchester you are five times more likely to get snow in February than November.

two games in a freak storm, Humber Brisge full closure for only the second time since it first opened, PL matches called off, TELEVISED PL matches that is.

Leeds' training ground has flooded again

Biggest problem rl has kicking season off at end of january is that it clashes with 6 nations starting so all press and news goes to rah rahs and barely a mention on rl its something they really should sort out a later start date

be able to use it now as an excuse for a poor season

they can always play their Agar, sorry, mean Joker.

It wasn't the cold that caused the cancellations yesterday.

Internationals are e anyway

As badly as last time? They need to move it, joke that a professional team is in such a situation.

You mean they want free training grounds to be moved to somewhere more suitable. They'll be chasing planning permission for housing next, and flood alleviation from a Governement fund!

You get these bores across social media at the start of every season whenever it's cold or any games get called off posting dull cliches about 'summer rugby eh'.

What do these clowns want? Start the season in May finishing in August and play about 3 games a week?

November is in Autumn.
February is in Winter.
There's no way it's colder in November than February.

I don't see how March to November would clash more with football. Do they play more football in November than February?

It’s not about been a clown,, it’s about been able to watch a decent game of rugby, it’s what we pay for isn’t it =#FF0000Leave out the name calling. Thank you. Karen

Lol what? Steady on dude

Sorry Steph

I agree with you. These =#FF0000Leave out the name calling. Thank you. Karen who say same things this time every year and start crap threads like this one evidently don't realise you have a limited time to get the season done and dusted.

You can't start the season when the warmer months are arriving and still expect the season to end in early October.

Moving the season back may seem sensible.
However, do we really want the GF and Internationals played in November / December instead of October / November..
The first move should be to have our season running in absolute tandem with the NRL and move either one forward or back to balance them out, with a mid season international break and other Internationals at the end of the season.

Just because we've had storms during one weekend at the start of the season shouldn't man that we go into panic mode.

Also, if there was an international break, it could be the ideal chance to also catch up on any postponed fixtures, assuming, of course, that there weren't loads of them.

With global warming and the wild variations in weather patterns the likelihood is that games can be called off at any time. Whether they are in February or November .

Stop speaking sense. You’ll cause a meltdown.

If the planet is warming up, it will soon be summer rugby all year round, although it may be too warm in summer so, perhaps we should move back to winter rugby

We can also look forward to an expansion club in Antartica.
