Looking back at our results over the last four seasons during the Easter period – it doesn’t look too good:

2007
Good Friday – Harlequins (away) – LOST 30 – 28
Easter Monday – Hull KR (home) – WON 22 – 14

2008
Good Friday – Hull KR (away) – LOST 11 – 10
Easter Monday – Leeds (Home) – LOST 4 – 30

2009
Good Friday – Hull KR (Home) – LOST 14 – 18
Easter Monday – Saints (Away) – LOST 44 – 22

2010
Good Friday – Hull KR (Away) – WON 18 – 14
Easter Monday – Warrington (Home) – LOST 10 – 29

So, a 25% win rate with an average points scored of 16 (average is 12 points scored for the last 3 years).

Could be 50% each way this weekend I hope but fear a 100% loss

id be confident of beating kr this friday..but monday....bloody monday

They hardly give us an easy run though do they? Our Easter Monday games in the last 4 years have been Leeds, Saints, Wire, Wire after playing the dobbins on Good Friday. Has any team had a run as comparable.

Saying that, it should still be better than it is.

Not fair is it we never get to play an easy team like us
Seriously though it's what we should want isn't it? Big games , big crowds , great entertainment and atmosphere over the bank holiday. We should be excited. Remember when it was like that???

Who does wire play before us?

(anyone any ideas why Hudds/Salford is off?)

Thanks standee x

Huddersfield Town are at home on Easter Monday, so the Giants game is on Tuesday night.

ta, typical BBC just listing it as off instead of rearranged.

What, this BBChttp://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_league/fixtures/default.stmrl

Scroll down a day....

salford have done well there, wire at home followed by a trip to hudds!!!

Think it is going to be a tough easter fixture wise, painful maybe
decent weather should bode for some good footie tho

All the away teams on the Easter Monday are harshly treated I think. Why is the Friday seemed more as a 'local' round but not the 2nd bank holiday. Bradford play Leeds in a bruiser then have to go all the way to France, Cas to saints, we're off the width of the country to Wire.

I know there probably cant be a perfect match up for all teams over the 2 days but it could be done a damn sight better than this. Cas could go to rovers, we could go Wakey, Bulls go to Hudds, crusaders to wire etc etc.

Hudds and Wire are almost guaranteed 4 points I would say.
