Lol I’ve been waiting to do this, will we play Houghton or a runner at nine with the new rule changes. Lucky Leeds how much revenue will they get for hosting these fixtures, we know they need help to fund their new stadium. Will Sky really care if no supporters are there, as long as their sat dishes are selling. At least the Hull supporters won’t get drenched at the uncovered end.

Headingley will have been chosen as it has 2 complete sets of changing facilities at opposite ends of the ground meaning minimal to no contact between teams.

You really believe that Karen?

I don't buy into conspiracy theories, no.

Which other Yorkshire venue would you have chosen?

Hull KR, Cas and Wakey are all inadequate.

Hudds and FC don't own the ground so can't afford it.

That just leaves Leeds.

Hardly a conspiracy, just common sense.

West Hull have plenty of pitches, they need the cash, changing facilities al fresco, and a beer garden no problem, there’s no supporters allowed so isn’t a field all we need.

huddersfield applied to host...kcom has 4 changing rooms too....no idea why our club didnt apply...we pay our costs still (cant imagine the greedy egyptians letting us off)...probably all down to location

fingers crossed, september we are allowed back to watch

I'm sure it will have been the SMC's decision, can't see them wanting 3 games over a weekend when city are "playing" 3 games a week as well, and who can blame them.

Leeds applied to host fxitures as did St Helens, Huddersfield, Salford and Warrington.

Doncaster would have been ideal for the two Hull clubs and Castleford
I wasnt saying its a conspiracy to choose Headingley just doubting that it was chosen because it had dressing rooms at each end of the ground.
In the current situation ask anyone in R/L which ground would have been the first to be chosen by the RFL and it would have been Headingley.
No conspiracy just fact.
Understand Huddersfield applied to host games even though they dont own the ground.

Probably not being football league club grounds has a lot to do with it, games could continue at neutral grounds until November at this rate.

Location yeh, but then send hull and cas to play in St. Helens

Think houghton will be brilliant with the new set restart rule, expecting big things from shaul to, plenty of broken field, hopefully our boys have been working on fitness

It's SL not the RFL who chose the grounds. And as is well known the SL administration isn't particularly close to Leeds.

FWIW League Express reported, yes, that the stadia needed to have appropriate infection-mitigation controls including multiple, separate sets of changing rooms, that the host clubs only cover their costs on these games and that the real incentive to apply, apart perhaps from some residual home-ground advantage, is to give exposure to their naming and in-ground sponsors.

And Huddersfield home game is now at Headingley,

Who cares where it is at, just glad we are close to starting again soon.

Decent start to the season, good chance of beating Salford and hopefully getting our season back on track.

Wigan Huddersfield & Salford I believe offered their facilities.

Latest from BJ is that we hope for the crowds back from October (1st I think)

First round is at Leeds, second round at St Helens, third round at Warrington. Cup round games so far confirmed are at Huddersfield.

To be clear, Wigan didn't apply to host games.

Is that an affectionate term for the great leader? Is that catching on? I may have missed that ditty

Shaul for hooker ....can't tackle too well v the big guys but he'll be electric out of acting half. Or let him go dummy half a lot of the time ?

Not hooker, but on the shoulder of houghton all day long, and plenty skoots

I just can’t wait now, after watching every nrl game with the set restart rule, think super league will at last get its excitement back! And I think our squad is primed to benefit from it, really hope our fitness is top notch. Can’t wait. Just hope the refs don’t make a complete hash out of it

Been saying this for ages
no such thing as hooker now its another half back role.The new rule makes it ideal for Shaul
He would come in as second or third tackler anyway so no problem

Fully fit squad, I’d go against Salford

Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Griffin
Ratu
Snyed
Kelly
Taylor
Houghton
Satae
Jones
Terminator
Sao

Carlos
Sav
Ellis
