Four home games in first 13, five in first 16, 8 from last 11 games at home hopefully we be in a half decent position.

Good to see the fixtures are spread over the weekend at last a bit of common sense, no three games on a Friday anymore, One Thursday, two Friday, Two Saturday and one Sunday but sometimes one Saturday, two Sunday.

How are the loop fixtures arrived at, I'm assuming there is some sort of logic to it?

I'm not wholly sure. I know the league is split into three groups of four (top, middle, bottom) and you then play two games (one home, one away) from each of the two groups you're not in (hence our group of fixtures).
But I've no idea how those individual fixtures are arrived at. In our case, for example, why Wigan/Wire and not Salford/rovers, or Leigh/Cats and not Saints/Leeds?

Similarly, at magic we are allocated another bottom-four side, but I guess in that instance we were paired with Huddersfield so that Cas-Wakey could be the other one? Whether there is a definitive logic process to all this I don't know, this is rugby league after all!

Regardless, I now know more than I did, so thanks.
Didn't know they split the league into groups.

I believe because we finished 11th, we play 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th 3 times. So if we'd have finished 5th and Leigh 11th for example, we'd still have the same loop fixtures
