Simple, because it's all about the crowd. If you wait until 3 weeks in advance before deciding what the games are based on league position, fans don't know if they are playing on the Saturday or the Sunday, so will withhold buying tickets (except those going for the full weekend). There'll then be a 3 week mad dash for people to buy tickets for the day their team is playing on, as well as potentially booking hotels and transport.

The only way you could leave the exact matches until later in the season is if you picked 6 sides to play Saturday and 6 sides to play Sunday early on, and then decided the matches from those 6 closer to the day.

Are Batley trying to screw with us? Dewsbury have won three games all season - all against Batley

Well, to be fair, you're assuming that Sheffleld were asking the same price then as now and we don't actually know if that is the case. Also, as pointed out above we've lost Leon from both the playing roster and wages list so, given his playing position and charismatic character, bringing Chissy on board is a direct, and imo, very necessary replacement if we have pretensions of making a fist of avoiding relegation.

Just got back from the weekend, what a great match and the support was epic, Sundays support for the remaining matches was poor i'm sure there were more Bulls supporters on the Saturday night than the total support on Sunday.

The only disappointment i felt after the game was the realisation that our owners failed to offer Dane a contract at the start of the season.

The guy was class! If we had him at the start of the season, i'm sure we would have significantly more points on the board!

Massive mistake from the owners!

Maybe we had to hit rock bottom first but I didn’t see that performance coming. In stark contrast to the London game we muscled up and respected possession. Chisholm undoubtedly provided a lift. He has his faults but he’s got that bit of extra X factor that makes a difference in a tight game. I just hope that knock to his knees isn’t serious. Playing with a big pack certainly helped with Magrin in the backrow. I hope we continue to do that. When the rain came down I feared the worst as our handling in the rain has been poor this year but this time we were excellent. Something to build on certainly for the crunch match at the weekend at Dews.
