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.

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

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

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.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go

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?

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. |
