could be a cunning plan by them to play us when tired to give em a chance.

Couldn't be done anyway apparently, as the RFL see a Weekend as "Thursday to Sunday" so you can't play twice in that period,

I think it's a bit different to expect us to play Sunday - Thursday - Sunday in a week. compared to asking you whether to play on a friday or saturday following your sunday game. Hardly the same really.

But hadn't 'Fax suggested to play on Sunday 31st (three days after we play away at Fev) and therefore the same situation? With the amount of TV games that both clubs are involved in, coupled with those ghastly Friday night games, a midweek game is going to be quite tricky to fit in.

we agreed to play staurday it was thursday we turned down and they got vexed about, and then decided to mess about meaning it ended up on sunday

i agree though thursday sunday is too much to ask , having said that over easter we play friday monday, but then both teams have normally played not just one

Surely the best time to play this game would be the weekday after the next challenge cup weekend. That way we'll play leigh twice in a week. Could play on the wednesday 3rd and then play the quarter final at ours on Sunday 7th.

It's also good for both sides as Leigh play the thursday before so no sunday game and it's also a bye weekend for fax. So both sides will be rested. Could even play it on the tuesday if they wanted.
