I have been digging further into this matter and next Thursday will be the 6th occasion that a team has been asked to play on Thursday after having played on the previous Sunday. As well as Wigan, other teams drawing the short straw have been Wakefield, Widnes and Castleford twice. Only Castleford have won when at this disadvantage and that was when they faced London. If it is obvious that a team is disadvantaged when faced with such a short turn round then it is equally obvious that their opponents have been given an advantage. One team has enjoyed that benefit on two occasions. Would you be surprised to find out that the lucky team is LEEDS.

Here's a crazy theory; maybe the club would've said something to The RFL if they thought the turnaround was too short. As it is, it's just a few people moaning on here.

Not moaning, just pointing out inequalities.

Good grief!!.... I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but that does smack of being unfair, at the very least...

Didn't we also have a four day turnaround when we played Wakefield away?

Yes Rogues, I said in an earlier post that Wigan will have had this 4 day turnround twice with the game against Salford. The other game was against Wakefield.

Sunday to Friday is a 5 day turnround.

By the way, your arithmetic is not very good. Sunday to Friday is a gap of FIVE days.

Firstly I don't but these conspiracy theories but who am I to get in the way of the entertainment they provide on a fans forum.

Sky moved our game to Thursday because that's the one they wanted on telly. They wouldn't look it care about whether a team has he 4 days rest or not. As others have said it is not allowed in Australia and shouldn't be allowed here.

Spot on. There's no conspiracy theory but it's just not fair on the players or the fans but Sky don't care (and why would they) and the RFL are too weak to say no.

[pedant mode]Wakefield and Bradford faced each other in round 2 on the Thursday after each playing the previous Sunday.[/pedant mode]

It was a dire game! We won't be a threat tomorrow, so no need to worry about short turn around.

Yes I had noticed that fixture at the start of the season but as there was no disadvantage to either team I discounted it. It is not the fixture against your team that is after a short turnround. That comes on Thursday next when we play Salford.

After your pathetic post above and performance at Bradford I take it you mean Wigan

See pathetic is easy.

So you're including Friday (ie the game day) great logic.
