Will be Live on Sky Sports News Wednesday 18th November between 1pm and 2pm.

Pot 1 will include Leeds, St Helens, Huddersfield, Hull KR, Wakefield, Wigan, Castleford and Catalans.

Pot 2 will include Bradford, Warrington, Harlequins, Hull FC, Salford and Crusaders RL.

It'll be an open draw with the 8 teams in Pot 1 will be drawn to play each other in 4 games. Then the 6 teams in pot 2 to provide three further games.


The 2010 fixtures btw I believe will be released that morning.

Are Wigan not involved next year?

You missed a team off mate

Damn your quick edits

I'd have been quicker had I not quoted first rather than edited.

I hope it's Saints again! Make it a hat-trick of Murrayfield Thrashings!

Have they stated any reason for the 2 pots ????

I wouldn't have minded a game against Wire, Bradford, etc.. but just because we finished higher up the table, we are automatically given a harder game (based on last years form).

I don't see why this isn't a simple, single pot, with any team drawn against any other.

I would personally like the easiest game possible.

I think it's unfair that we automatically get a harder game really.

We all know it will be Leeds v Saints and Wigan v Hull KR to maximise support.

I'm surprised they are still banging on with this Murrayfield tragic event!
They could make far better use of a free weekend than produce an extra league fixture that clubs don't want.
How many years did they contract for?

Wakefield please

I'd like Hull KR.

The 2 sets of fans have a good relationship and both take good followings to the magic events so a good crowd would be on for the game.

They did the same last year IIRC. Personally i dont agree with it because why should Wakefield (for example) be punished for finishing 5th last season. IMO its not fair, warrington are more likely to be up there next season and could draw a nice easy tie for there extra game. I understant they want as many competative games a possible but i personally dont agree with this

the point is that it gives the teams who finished bottom 6 last year a chance to pick up 2 points against weaker oposition that the top 8 pot and those 2 points could help them break into the top 8 come end of season.

levels the playing field a bit imo.

and im still a fan of the NFL draft system. They have a salary cap same as us, but the team finishing bottom gets first pick of free agents (out of contract players) and rookies from the amatuer ranks (colleges), and top team picks last.
would love to se a similar system here . that would stop any team dominating for years on end, unless they had the finances brought in from crowd receipts.

Good that its on SSN, but wouldnt have minded an easier fixture than those available.
