Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!

Sky Sports reveal that the Easter Weekend double-header will NOT take place in 2023
Best for player welfare?
or a loss of tradition?

Difficult to argue about player welfare. Higher intensity game these days. But I'd agree that the loss of tradition is upsetting, and Sky have no interest in that at all.

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

Not too concerned, myself.
I debated whether to bother with the Wakefield match on Monday, as I had other things to do and I'd already had my rugby fix for the weekend at Saints.
The game won out in the end, and I'm glad I went, but for a combination of both "Fan fatigue" and player welfare (see the Saints team last night) - I think the game is better off by dropping the extra match.

Good - epsecially if they can make the missing game at the Magic Weekend - that way prevent teams playing each other ridiculous times in a season and some teams having to double up on harder games than others at Magic.

Pleased to see the back of it. Not bothered about Sky's motives; they are don't care about rugby league it's clear. But three games in a week doesn't result in high quality sport.
