We'll play on Sunday so Leeds can have their cash (and glory). The Bulls who are in need of the money given another blow by the RFL. I wonder if Salford will deducted points and Sky money? Somehow I doubt it. Too many axes to grind by the RFL in relation to the Bulls.

The points deduction was for going into admin. It's set out in the rules so no complaints on that score IMO. Salford haven't gone into administration so there's no reason for a points deduction to be applied.

Read about this is the paper and couldn't believe the RFL hadn't been more helpful. Could the H & A fixtures not be switched?

Can sort of understand it from the RFL's points of view. Guess we'll have to get on with it.

Still better than on sunday, will still get a few extra people through the gate i would have thought

This is pathetic. The RFL are being pretty short sighted IMO. This is a historic sporting event. The local football team have become the first side from division four to play in a major cup final. It's at wembley and they're gonna be taking 30K plus fans.

It's not like playing our game on the Friday is going to detract from the attendance at Headingley is it? It'd be a sell out whether the Bulls play or not.

Well that's it then I miss a game but it's the RFL's fault IMO. I can see why the Bulls can't play it and I certainly can't begrudge City fans their big day out. I'm a town fan and I'm right behind them.

You say that without any detectable sense of irony.

I would be going to this match.

But i am heading down to wemberley Saturday so wont be going.

2pm kick off. Why?

Hmmmm...

2pm is ridiculous, anyone who works saturday now has no chance, why not a kick off of 6pm or after?

But someone with family responsibilities can now bring their young children to the game. It's great that Omar is thinking of RL as a family sport & embracing the government's drive to support married couples.

Typical RFL, they take with one hand whilst taking with the other. Saturday at 2pm, what a laugh!!!
Fans who support both clubs and who are going to London will still miss the Bulls/Saints game. Bulls fans who work on Saturday will miss the game. Traveling on a Saturday, midday and early evening not the best.
Makes you think that the RFL are determined to reduce the SL size by any means and the Bulls will be the first victims.

Still trying to work out what stops someone with "family responsibilities" from attending at 18 :00. The game is still going to over before 20:00, and it's not as though the kids have to be up for school the day after....
