Thursday night, 7.30pm ko at Don Valley.

Should be a run of the mill victory against a relegation threatened team.

Eagles 62-4 Hunslet

Att: 702

Hopefully we'll put Hunslet to the sword thursday and a few more turn up as it's the last league game at DVS

Eagles 46-10 Hunslet
att 1023

Oh yeah, good point.

Maybe 1000ish then.

I know the Challenge Cup is a big game and it should be the only game being played on Saturday but why are there no superleague games and all championship games being played on Thursday Night !! Not complaining really as we will have 5 full days rest before the biggie away to Featherstone

I think it's right the Cup Final is a stand alone fixture for that weekend. It's rugby league's day out.

Plus it gives us more rest. Can't see any negatives to be honest.

I have to agree with E.S.O the cup final is a show piece for rugby league and i think no other fixtures should take any attention away from it at all ie no super league fixtures

A true national sporting event (no matter what some RL fans think of the challenge cup these days)

Need some serious help - please take them apart

Should be an easy win provided complacency doesn't set in. 52 - 12 to Eagles.

Crowd 800, don't think many will be going to go just because it's the last league match at DVS.

The negatives are the big journeys on a Thursday night. We didn't draw the short straw. If I'd have been doing the fixture list I'd have used the Bank Holiday - but, at the end of the day, it's the clubs that approve the plan.

In which case we'd have ended up playing Monday/Wednesday which wouldn't have been very enjoyable.

No, we wouldn't. We'd probably have played Fev this week or last week, wouldn't we ?

The fixture plan came out nearly a year ago. You can only base your decisions on the information you have at the time.

To say we've fit an extra game in this week, the spacing has been quite kind to be fair. Sunday/Thursday/Wednesday/Sunday isn't bad at all.

Going back to the Challenge Cup why are the playing it now when the football season has started and very close to the end of the season. Would it make more sense to have it in the middle of July when there is no other sporting events on, it would attract higher TV Viewing figures and could attract more fans to the sport.Also there was also a gap of 2 months from the qtr finals to semi finals which i though at the time was a bit strange

sorry i meant 2 month gap between 5th round to qtr finals

Charlie has been up all night debating ,and ive come up with the decision to predict a seagulls win , this is difficult to predict , but it must be chosen to see who finshes top of the tree , I like to cheer my choice and will choose wisely later but feel it can happen later today .
