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.

Well the idea is to get competitive games but it doesn't take into account teams over achieving or under achieving last season. It's basically the play off teams in one pot and the non play off teams in the other.

The draw has already been done:

Wigan v Leeds
Saints v Hull KR
Wakefield v Castleford
Huddersfield v Catalan

Warrington v Hull
Bradford v Salford
Harlequins V Celtic

Why has the date of the fixtures been brought forward.

I think hes joking pal

Well IMO i dont agree with it. Again, lets say Wakey draw Leeds who go on to finish top and dont lose a game all season. Hull draw Celtic who go on to not win a match all season. Hull pinch 8th spot and a play off place by 1 point over Wakey who finish 9th. I personally do not think its fair that Wakey would have had to play Leeds 3 times and Hull played Celtic 3 times. Would you consider that fair? (obviously i am usuing them 4 teams just for an example)

Why cant we just have a league were we play every team 2 times like every other respectable league around the world. (obviously i take the scotish football league out of that )
