I'd guess the players wouldn't be happy at playing twice in five days.

My only worry would be the short turn around. Knowing the RFL they'd ask the Monday night team to play on a Monday and then the Friday whilst their opponents get a usual week to prepare.

In a game as physically demanding as rugby league that's a huge disadvantage.

I don't mind too much, as long as it's announced well in advance - it's the games that are switched at short notice that annoy me.

Maybe there is some logic behind the move to more Sunday games to give the team more recovery after a potential Monday game.

Yep definitely, the RFL need to sort out what the remaining 9 games are ASAP and get them announced. The last thing we want is tickets being sold for a Friday night and then it gets switched to a Monday.

We only have Sunday games up until March, after that the are pretty much all Friday apart from the odd Sunday away game.
