Big difference to saying the game was lost already!
Anyway, the RFL have caved and the game has been switched to 5.30pm on the Sunday. Dreadfully late notice imo, they have known this could happen for months.

I see Fax are playing Sheffield tonight, whereas Fev play Batley tomorrow. That gives Fev one day's rest less than Fax before next weekend's league game, and as you point out, "one team having one day's rest less is unfair".

Didn't expect that but also didn't think there would be scope to move the game to be another day and still be televised. Fair play to Fev for agreeing to it.

A 4 day recovery period and the travelling down there before a big game at Wembley when as shown it can be rearrange regardless of whether it’s the team I personally support makes sense to me and credit where credits due to all those involved.
