| It's the decision of the RFL if the game goes ahead or not. I'm sure the club did all they could to prevent the situation. They will have wanted to play the match as much as we would.
Hopefully the RFL will see sense now and put the game back where it was in the first place.

| Seeing as the forecast is for anything between -5 and -7 tonight I think it is reasonable to make an early decision.
Still it may mean you have your Bird available when you play us (if they let him in)

They're fore-casted highs and lows. Take them with a pinch of salt as every weather report has different figures.

Yes but you know everyone on here is an expert! Some people have absolutely no sense at all. It's freezing down here. The RFL, so I have been told, made the decision early to stop most of the fans and the team travelling. There is a weather warning telling pople not to travel unless it is absolutely neccesary. But who care about that when the people on here know everything

Takings will be in the millions. It's unsurprising they are better able to get the game on.

| Twickenham has undersoil heating and of course they don't have their pitch in use quite so often so they will have had a better chance of keeping it in good nick.

Yep, I booked my train tickets and accommodation a couple of months ago. Like I said, there's plenty of other stuff to do in London but thats not the point! grrrr!

It will be an absolute disgrace if we are forced to play another date because of a friendly. I've lost money on an over night hotel already, the only reasonable decision now is to ask Manly to make other arrangements that do not affect SL. Can you imagine the NRL disrupting their fixtures for something that neither sides of the World take too seriously?

| I'll probably have a junior ticket to sell by the way, as it appears a member of our travelling party has dropped out and was never really interested in going in the first place.
Eugh

Sorry mate but you`ve got that wrong imo. I can`t think for a second that Quins would have any advantage in postponing a game if it wasn`t necessary; how many are going to turn up to the (probable) mid-week new date? A good deal fewer than on a Sunday I`ll bet.
A Saturday inspection is plenty of time to tell if a game is definitely off, personally I`d like to thank them for saving my time tomorrow, even though I`ve paid for a match ticket and coach travel and most likely won`t be able to get to the game now.

seriously doubt that will happen as its part of RFL's promotion of rugby in london. basically we've had our pre-season disrupted for the benefit of harlequins and no benefit to ourselves. Now we're going to have the handicap of having to play 3 games in 7 days at some point during the year to add insult to injury. Th only possible benefit to us is that we may have bird and lynch available for the re-arranged fixture.
assuming that the RFL dont cancel the many fixture and put us back on in round 2 then the only fair thing they could do is allow the bulls to nominate when we play the fixture so we get to play a mid week where we dont have tough games either side. You watch them make us play it between leeds and saints or similar though
doesnt help that its the 2nd year running that our pre-season has been disrupted by a WCC that we arent even involved in
