Jon Sharp sacked by Fev, odd.

Strange decision and timing, they are in middle8's for god's sake!

Sky will identify the games they wish to cover, for the first four rounds of Middle 8 fixtures. At some point they will decide which games they wish to televise for the following rounds. The only game that for certain that they will show is the MPG. The RFL WILL accommodate Sky.
.

Does not matter what SKY want there are some Saturdays that we cannot play at home, hence my suggestion that we might end up with a Fri night game if sky want to televise our game.
The Fev situation us very odd, maybe they told him that he was not getting a contract next year so he just said well ram it then.
Anyone thinking bradfurt could be saved by Swindon, apparently they gave to raise 100k by the end of the week. If they go down the tubes gives Bradford a champ spot lifeline

I do not think anything The Swindon Rugby League team do will have any influence on Bradford Bulls. That is Swindon St George. The one in Wiltshire.
Now Swinton Lions, thats different. The ones near Manchester.

They weren't going to renew his contract, which expires at the end of the season. Gives the new guy, who may be appointed this week, time to assess the current squad and build for next season with players he wants.

Having played for Swindon and having a Bessie mate who was on swintons books I do know the difference, you know what I meant.

This took me so long to find on the RFL site thought I would post it here too. Hope it saves somebody else some time:

"Details of the Super 8s fixtures for Kingstone Press League 1 and the League 1 Shield will be confirmed on the morning of Wednesday July 19 and fixtures will begin on Sunday July 30.

Details for the Betfred Super League, Qualifiers and Kingstone Press Championship Shield will be published on Wednesday July 26: this will allow all clubs to feed in details of their stadium availability once the regular season has been completed, and give broadcasters the opportunity to select televised fixtures for the early rounds of Super 8s. The Super 8s begin on Thursday August 3."

It's what they have done for the last couple of seasons.

I was told that they are sorting out the fixtures differently this season.

Well it's really the only way they can do it.

The fixture selection process will be different. That is how I understand it.

Not sure how it can be that different, it's 7 games and we know how the home and away decisions are made. Maybe it's the engagement with clubs/sky/rfl is what they are talking about.

HKR strengthened with the signing of the monster MM (Mosoe) from the Reds

Leigh brought in a player from Saints. Acton long ban.

So its finished Wire, Cats, Leigh and Widnes in SL. Who do we get at home??
