3 teams play Toronto away twice (we're not one of them), so it would make sense for one of those fixtures to be early season. Having said that, none of this makes sense.

Can you imagine the powers that be actually thinking about that?

Not when the rfl change the format and bring 2 more teams into sl!

another team that wont have to play on a Thursday night.the games becoming a joke.

Not strictly the case if they play 2 or 3 consecutive away games as has been suggested.
