Obviously Boxing day is confirmed.

From what I've been told we have Bradford not sure if its Home or Away yet think clubs are still discussing.

Then for James Donaldson Testimonial we are playing Hull KR at Headingley about 2 weeks before season starts on 15th of February

Hunslet game is already confirmed for 2nd of February but I'd imagine that will be just Academy players playing. So you'd imagine Donaldson testimonial game will happen on the Sunday 4th.

Pretty much same pre season as last year.

Hopefully a game away at Halifax is now on the agenda.

Wakefield Trinity - H - 26/12
Bradford Bulls - A - 28/01
Hunslet RLFC - A - 02/02
Hull KR - H - 04/02

I’d expect another one in the middle of January either Halifax or Featherstone A.

Hope its Fax.

Be a tough game away at Bradford on that pitch.

Hunslet on a Friday? Sounds odd.

Sounds like the Lazenby, in which case it will be academy lads out.

Maybe a first teamer or two needing a few minutes.

Anyone know where they have flown out to today? Seems to be a distinct lack of info on pre-season this year as oppose prev years. Maybe on purpose, trying to keep it more low key?

I'm only going on the time of social media posts so could be wrong, but we can see they flew Ryanair out of Manchester, and the flight schedule suggests the 06:10 flight to Tenerife.

I've no doubt that Saints fans will be telling us that their team are going to Elevenerife.

Team is currently in Portugal for a 5 day warm weather camp.

Is it a hair cut, a filter or does lisone look a little trimmer in the chops?

For anyone who hasn't seen, The Sportsman on YouTube have put out 5 decent player interviews in the last day or so. Far better than the amateurish efforts put out by the club this preseason.

Back in my callow youth when I was plain Gregory Parsloe-Parsloe, one went up from Eton to Oxford with Harold Stinker Pinker and Pongo Twistelton-Smythe. Jolly good chaps who of course went onto play for their country at Twickers.
Sadly, I missed out but gained a honour they did not and was later knighted for services to .. ahh, well I’m not really sure. I was once caught a bit short of the filthy green stuff at the Cafe D’Europe and was forced to raffle my trousers to cover a bottle of champers, but I doubt I was knighted for that. Anyway, I was delighted to see some splendid sounding chaps in our side today, Tom Nicholson-Watton, Ben Hursley-Hord and Freddie Brennan-Jones. Can’t see them in Debretts but they sound like good eggs. Play up chaps.

The club want to encourage spectators to attend these games - then they need to put a squad out with players fans would pay to see. This is a micky take.

Yeah bollox to injuries and fitness, wheel em all out there! I don't care about seeing these young kids, I want to see Newman's hamstring snap in half as he slides over for the winning try against Bradford in pre season.
