I hope we are having more then the two against Castleford on Boxing Day 12noon and Hull KR away on the 31st January with a 15:00 ko.

What was the crack with the Donaldson deal ? Was it just the one game away at Whitehaven or are we due there again this year ??

I would like to see us drop the Dewsbury game and play Halifax instead.

You recovered OK now Mick?

What Donaldson deal with Whitehaven he was signed direct from Wath Brow Hornets.

Yes just about, cheers.

Well I hope we are playing more then the two this year because last year we did the same Dewsbury & Whitehaven.

We need four or five especially with all the new faces.

I don't see a Dewsbury game...

Jolly good I have nothing against playing Dewsbury as the last four have been great to attend but surly a game vs Halifax at the Shay would generate a massive crowd

Have n't we got a friendly against Rochdale this coming season as part of the tie up with them.

I wouldn't mind a trip over to Rochdale.

Not been to the Spotland since we won 48-10 in the cup in the late 90's

I'd expect a fixture against rochdale as part of the tie-up on an annual basis, probably as one of the earlier fixtures with mainly academy players getting a run out.

Aye, and stuck in the mother of all traffic jams...I ended coming back via bloody Bacup (don't ask...) and we were far from convincing for quite some time in that game and Rochdale played OK IIRC? Not a bad ground.

Don't I remember reading that the Rochdale fixtures are going to start pre-season for 2011 season, not 2010? Or did I dream that?

Yeah it was quite close early on, we went on the train that day, good crowd 5000+ crowd.

Pitty we lost to Castleford next round 26-21 when Cummings robbed us something shocking

Don't we play Hull KR one more time or something?

I think we're supposed to yes, the game that's been cancelled the last 2 years.

Why is that? Have I missed something?
