Typical BARLA reaction to anything new then?

I'm sure they've done as much damage to the game over the years as any other part of the game.

On the whole I'd agree it makes sense for all levels of the sport to be in a seasonal alignment - but where are we going to get our 'fix' in the off-season now???

That would be my question Walt , I wont be able to go to a RL match twice in a weekend , so it will be East that miss out for me , others may choose East/Miners over the Centurions , just pointing it out , not moaning about it

I think there may be more midweek games especially local derbies (East/Miners v Wigan/St Helens teams) and the overlapping of seasons certainly didn't detract from the Miners v East crowd last week. Can you imagine that fixture on a balmy summer evening - it would be packed to the rafters!

It already was!
