Moved to Thursday after Wembley.
Words fail...

Yes, it would be nice if we could hear the logic behind this decision. That's assuming there is some logic!

So that's Thursday night TWICE after playing catalans away this season and now Thursday night after a Wembley final. Absolutely unbelievable

At the end of the day Sky pump the most money in and without Sky Super League would do well to survive. Yes it's a massive inconvenience and a ballache for the players and the fans but it's the powers that be (Sky) who are putting the money in and therefore make the decisions.

That’s about right, reach the cup final and Sky will reward you, unbelievable.

and with our recent record against Salford we certainly don't need any 'help'

Unfortunately, although sky are our main benefactors they haven't done a lot for the exposure of the game recently. Sky has made our tv exposure exclusive to paying customers except for superleague show & a few CC games on BBC. Sky has made the game so exclusive to viewers that it has actually marginalised Rugby League. Add to that the farce of short turnarounds & sky's demands are not so conducive to the good of our game. Contrast the free to air exposure that RU has compared to ours & it looks like something has gone amiss with our marketing team.

Good to see that Sky putting player welfare top of the agenda................

It's tough at the top

Sh!te happens, what else is there to say.

Albeit noting, yet again, that it was the club chairmen who, in the majority, accepted the Sky deal and everything that came with it.

All we need now is Mr child to be announced as ref now that would put the cherry on the cake...thank god I don't give sly any money

Good news for us but that’s a disgraceful call you’ve got there and one the game can’t allow to keep happening. It’s just not right and is unfair on the players.

Sky pay the money and make the decisions and Thursday games are unlikely to go anywhere but the powers that be need to ensure the scheduling is fair. Both you and St Helens should’ve been off limits for the Thursday game.

Can't blame sky wanting top 5 hopefuls against the challenge cup holders first up following a weeks break.

Good point, well made.
