| Wednesday at noon is when the fixtures come out for the middle 8s.
It is great that we get the four home games. It is the away games that concern me. I hear that there may be some issues getting teams to Toronto, availability of seats on flights are an problem. Fans traveling will be faced with very high fares, due to the short notice.
Another issue may well be the Widnes game. Euston Station is closed for three weekends, August to September. I would put money on the fixture being arranged for when Euston is closed.
Anyway bring it on!!!

Don't worry, when Toronto announce that for the good of the game they are playing all of their games in Manchester it won't be an issue.
They would hate to have to travel back and forth themselves and paying for it might be a problem for them

| It would make sense for TWP to charter an aircraft and sell seats not taken by away team squad members to travelling fans. That’s if air transat have anything that’s not already committed.
Playing there home games at a Manchester venue would make sense to be honest

| One of the Euston closure weekends is August Bank holiday. That would make traveling fun if St Helens and Warrington make the Challenge Cup Final.

Widnes Vikings Away – Thursday, August 9th 7.45pm Kick Off (SKY SPORTS)
Leeds Rhinos Home – Sunday, August 19th 3 pm Kick Off
Toronto Wolfpack Away – Saturday, September 1st – 12.30pm EDT Kick Off (6.30pm BST) (SKY SPORTS)
Toulouse Olympique Home – Sunday, September 9th 3 pm Kick Off
Hull KR Away – Saturday, September 15th 6 pm Kick Off
Salford Red Devils Home – Sunday, September 23rd 3 pm Kick Off
Halifax RLFC Home – Sunday, September 30th 3 pm Kick Off'"
Think these work out pretty much as we might have hoped for? A win at Widnes would be a great start, though they have strengthened- but we are on a bit of a roll, and have everyone fit a nd raring to go.
Leeds - a loss
Toronto, probable loss, but they are beatable
Toulouse - must win
HKR - loss
Salford - must win
Halifax- must win
So worse case 6 points best case 10? Interesting times.

| All it to beat Widnes,
Take whatever leeds throw at us then have a week to recover before Canada. Two ways the club could approach Toronto. Go out early get a bit of time to get over the effects of the travel. Or keep it as short as possible to minimise any effects of jet lag. For me jet lag effect is minimal, the 8 hrs in the aluminium tube more knackering, so go out early have a few days to recover and get back as soon as possible.
Toulouse at ours will be interesting.
KR last time we played em we gave em a fright with a late comeback.
Salford, I think depends on how they have gone before they get to us, could be beatable at ours.
Agree though fax and TO are must wins, Widnes up first in my mind is a must win if we are to stand any chance.

| It would be nice if someone, perhaps the LBSA could run a coach to one of the away games. I would think Hull KR game would be my choice. It would be nice to see some different faces at an away game.

| lets stop kidding ourselves... We will not win away at widnes nor Hull KR
But Salford home, Tolouse home and halifax home are possible, which is 6 possible points......
So the question is Toronto away, Leeds home, we need one of these.... Remember we play leeds just before a cup final which Leeds could be in.
I really think the MPG actually depends on Leeds beating Warrington on Sat...... funny times

IF leeds are playing at wembley 5 days after playing us, I think we have a real chance...
Last year we came oooooh so close to beating warrington at Ealing, far closer than widnes. If Sammut had kicked that penality into touch just before 1/2 time v Wire, we would have won that game. Also 2 years ago we ran leeds close at our place as well.
I think Leeds at home are far more for the taking than Widnes away
