I never seem to suffer with jet lag on the way there but the day after landjng back home is bad.

I dont think jet lag will be too much of an issue but if they are allowed large block fuxtures it will give them a huge advantage in my opinion. If they dont have to travel often and they are playing teams weekly who have travelled it has to be an advantage.

On the flip side it would be a huge disadvantage to them to play alternate home and away.

There needs to be some arrangement whereby they could play 2 or 3 games home, 2 or 3 away etc.

A discussion about jet lag wasn’t a place i thought this thread would go when I started it

This is a completely sensible solution to any sane person

I agree 2 or 3 but no more. However i think they are looking at Toronto playing all their home gsmes in a block in the middle of the seasom which is just ridiculous.

But that would be their choice to join that set up. We should not change for one club.

No there doesn’t. You don’t change rules for one club only.

Change of Subject rumours that Merrin may not be coming back as his partner is pregnant among other things that happened in his life

Oh come on. Yes we do. Like we gave Catalans protection from relegation in their first few seasons. And it’s a good job we did. Otherwise they’d have gone down in their first season.

The league change the rules for clubs all the time. Clubs often get allowances made for them in the fixture list. Whether it’s for football clubs they share with, for their pitch being relaid or for stadium redevelopments.

In the NRL the Warriors consistently don’t play alternate home and away.

The principal is already there. It’s just a matter of finding a middle ground.

Totally agree HIM.

If as a sport we want to include Toronto and the likes of Ottawa and New York you have to make certain concessions.

We can of course just stick to teams around the M62.

Some people just want their cake and to eat it.

Doesnt look like Trent Merrin will be with us next season unfortunately.

GH must have sworn everytime the wages were paid - Yorkshire war cry "Ow Much"

Big sigh of relieve from the CEO - 2 marquee players gone in a season - plenty cap room for more Donaldson and Crosbys!!

Well if Merrin does go, and I know this isn’t a universally popular view, but it gives us a chance to plan for a better balance in the side. We’ve been chasing our tails reacting for over a year and this could be a new direction for us.

he was our best player. by a million miles. we might have hone down without him.
rather hurrell went

Given the news about Merrin my expectations at present are significantly reduced

Merrin going just when we seemed to be getting things together two steps forward one step back.i interesting to see Leeds have put a time limit on him finding a new club.so hopefully this can be concluded quickly and Leeds may already have someone lined up
