I know its scheduled to be Hull KR vs Wakefield next week on SKY but do you think there is any chance we could be on against Hull with it being a top 2 clash of early form setters? Should be a cracking game, or do they not budge once the schedule is decided?

They dont really change the schedule early in the season. They set the early games out so all teams get a fiar share. Later in the season they then pick and choose the better games.
Prefer it not to be on TV as it will detract from the crowd.

Its just I'm a student up in Leeds wanting watch us play but can't get back to the DW stadium that night

Glad it's not on the tele.

That should put an extra couple of thousand on the gate.

Get on the national express bus from Leeds to Manchester pal. I've got on for as little as £2 return sometimes.

But just mind you don't get the bus with the stewardess with an ärse "the size of a small country"

think they have to give 2 or 3 weeks notice for it to be changed.

Thanks guys

I'm sure Sky would like to show the best two games of the week with a weeks notice of change but they are contractually obliged to visit every one of the 14 stadiums at least twice during every season so thats why they can't be that choosey with the games they pick in the first half of the season.

From May 21st onwards you will see the best games being picked most of the time.

They have given the dates they will be announcing changes for the games from Round 15 onwards. It'll be a month at first then as we get nearer to the back end of the season the notice decreases first to three weeks, then in August to two.

Thanks mate, appreciate that.

if it was leeds vs saints then it's on the t.v
they go by what happened last year
their not in the knowledge that hull, wigan and warrington are 3 of the major players in this league.

i wont be able to make it through work commitments, but it's a game that should be for the vewing public on the tv. if their trying to equal it out then why haven't salford been shown once yet, but bradford are gonna be shown for the forth time alredy this season.

Their two visits to the Willows are later this month and in May when St Helens (who they beat at the willows last year) visit. Clearly they want to keep Salford's appearances to the bare mimimum and on current form that is likely to be their only two tv broadcasts this year (well they'll get shown at Murrayfield as well). We've already been shown more than that!

They picked the schedule for every week up to May 15/16th when they released the fixtures in November. Alot of it is pot luck but fans can't have it both ways, they are getting the two visits to each ground quota out of the way now so they can't pick and choose the best games in the second half of the season.

We were on this weekend againts Bradford and our next two games after Hull are Leeds at home and Saints away so they won't have us on 4 weeks on the trot. Can you imagine the outcry if they did? "More Wigan favouritism!!!" I can hear them cry!
