No disrespect to Chaz's 'Classy Cas', but, did anyone see that result coming? Was that the turnround, or just the intensity of our game that had the desired effect? Fair to assume it was a combination of both G.O.

Do we know why it has been changed , is it for sky purposes ?

Sky's request. 8pm k.o

Do you play rugby? Trust me, you play a hard game and you only just recover in time for the next game. That's ammatuer rugby as well. I dread to think how the players feel the next day after a SL game. Malcolm Alkers book also sheds some light on how it feels to wake up after a game and the slippery slope of painkillers to mask the pain.

Just because they are professionals doesn't mean they heal quicker.

The only people that should have the final say on when games are due to be played is the RFL (or as previously stated the Local Police is a Safety issue)

Oh and owners of a Championship football ground who cant see that the RL will always bring in bigger crowds!

All this fixture changing is one reason the attendances are down IMO

I understand where Ganson is coming from but I agree with the consensus. If you're tired you're tired, the amount you get paid is of no consequence. You might get less sympathy if you're on a 6 figure salary but there is a price physically and mentally for every game.

Being completely honest, I don't know how anybody plays this game at that level. Incredible athletes.

Wasn't there a study by Northampton Uni in which they studied the fitness needed for all the major sports in the world and overall fitness RL was deemed the hardest, due to needing both high levels of aerobic and anaerobic fitness in equal measure.

According to warringtonwolves.org the fixture is now on Saturday 10th August at 3 pm.

I thought i'd read an article about this last week on the WG web page.

That will give us a 5 day turnround then a 9 day rest if we get to Wembley.

Well the fixture change means I can go so bicker all you want about the rights and wrongs, I'm happy with it. I won't be happy if we lose to either Wakefield (by resting players) or Widnes (by being knackered) as a result mind, or get fatigue related injuries against Widnes if we're in the Challenge Cup Final, but for now I'll see how it goes!

Mind you, Wire V Wakefield on Sunday, late shifts at work Monday and Tuesday, England V Scotland on Wednesday with overnight stay in London, Wire V Widnes on Thursday, late shift at work on Friday, Liverpool V Stoke on Saturday...

I might be collecting my bin bigs full of clothes from the driveway on the Saturday night and looking for a new place to live on Sunday.

Hmm. Scrap what I just said then as that now rules me out of the Wakefield game as I'll be at work then. Ah well, I suppose I'd rather go V Widnes than V Wakefield so swings and roundabouts.

Safe in the knowledge no doubt that your particular bin 'bigs' will be filled with the smartest clobber in Heald Green...Only joking DM, no I'm sure that they will be....

I'm not sure about that. Heald Green can be quite a well dressed place. It's hardly Warrington.

totally agree with you big dave 3..i remember sky doing an aftermatch interview with sir lee last season and was asked about the next match being a short period away..sir lees responce was thanks sky..so some players do take this on board..just look at the debate over the games at easter,this argument always crops up
