IT IS A SHAME HULL HAVE NOT GOT AN EXILES GAME, ALTHOUGH I WILL PROBABLY SCUTTLE OVER TO HUDDERSFIELD FOR THE MATCH

Houghton's in the Knight's squad and I wouldn't fancy playing Catalans without him. He's been great so far this season.

While I would have loved to have seen a game at the KC, I can understand this decision.

Fans from West Yorkshire/Lancashire aren't going to trek across to Hull mid-week for a friendly that is live on SKY, and also the pitch is looking in a bad state and i'd rather we get it sorted out so it is nice for any potential playoff fixtures.

The way I read it, SMC organised the re-seeding AFTER finding out we weren't getting the game.

but its ok to expect hull n rovers fans to trek across to west yorkshire/lancashire, again!

im sure the public of hull would have come out midweek and create a healthy crowd!

It would have made sense to have a game at the KC on the Saturday and St Helens on the Weds. I can't see Hudds getting a great crowd mid-week. Unlike the big clubs, they'll have to rely heavily on fans coming in from outside. They struggle to get a big crowd for proper internationals.
