Nail on the head. Talk of SKY deliberately manipulating fixtures to make them more competitive is absurd. Some folk aren't happy unless they are playing the victim.

But I thought Wigan had the best squad with loads of superstar kids ready to play incase of injuries?

Just out of curiosity how many times have Saints had a Sunday/Thursday turnaround this season?
I've stated many times that it shouldn't happen and is not allowed in Aus. If you play Sunday then you should not be made to play Thursday, I've argued it since day one of the Thursday fixtures.
I'm not talking about Sky manipulating the fixtures, I'm talking about common sense.

I don't know is the answer to the original question. There's plenty places you can find that info though.

You may be right in that it isn't common sense; that's a completely different argument. My post was in response to somebody suggesting SKY are deliberately hampering Wigan and making their games more even.

Wow, some quality arrogance coming over there

Surely not!?

It is allowed, indeed expected. After all, we are double title holders, dontcha know

Tonight's game Salford v Leeds. The Reds are on a 4 day turnaround, Leeds 7.
Next week we are on a 4 day break Salford 6.
Sorry, but that's just not right for either game, 4 days is no recovery period and teams should not be playing unless both have a decent recovery time.
The most important thing for me in all this is player welfare. One team has recovered from their previous game and is prepared, the other is neither. It appears player welfare has not been taken into consideration.
IMO next Thursday's TV game should have been Hull FC v Saints. Hull on a 7 day gap Saints 6. The Salford/Leeds and Wigan/ Salford fixtures are just plain wrong!

do you want to write to Murdoch & the rest of the slime-balls at Sly or should I

One person’s thoughts of another person’s possible open arrogance may just be showing that that person is only demonstrating sad thoughts of envy themselves!

If the yellow peril won't answer you Rogues I will. The answer is "none" and that is the same answer for Leeds and Warrington. Even further than that Leeds had a four day turnaround at Easter when most clubs had just a three day gap. The fact that Wigan have now faced this unfair burden twice makes one wonder if there isn't an agenda here.

That comment would have some relevance if not for the fact that some clubs (like Leeds) are never at the fun fair.

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.
