Quote: tvoc "
IIRC as recently as 2008 the Wakefield V Leeds game scheduled for the Sunday was moved forward to the Friday to ensure it kicked off at the same time as the St Helens V Wigan game just in case Saints lost (they drew 16 apiece) and Leeds won by a boatload to snatch the League Leaders Shield. The RFL insisting (quite rightly) at the time it was neccessary to protect the integrity of the comp. In my view integrity is not something you can pick up and put down from season to season, you either have it or you don't.'"
So, it appears that RFL will protect the ingetrity of these fixtures where it benefits Saints and ignore the integrity of these fixtures where it benefits Saints.
