Catalans’ statement doesn’t paint Leeds in a good light, but there’s 2 sides to every story. No doubt it will come out in the wash. Feel sorry for Rhinos fans who’ve booked non refundable flights and accommodation.

Although you can empathise with his frustrations, if leeds reversed the fixture theyd suffer financially with the short notice for walk up fans any away support and season ticket holders unable to attend. Postponing along with the giants game obviously has implications too, so unfortunately the burden falls on catalan.

Be a shame for the poor fans who have not gone through the Rhinos ticket office and paid for accommodation.
Maybe there should be some funds set up for those supporters who will be out of pocket?

Might be in a minority here but actually feel sorry for Catalan who have had two games over here postponed which wasn’t their fault and asked us for a favour of swapping a fixture and where not interested. My point we could of played at Headingley on Sunday. If Hetherington wants to penny pinch does he really think that a poxy gimmick of a double-header would draw a larger crowd than next Sun? Poor from us and guess no one will do us a turn now. Also feel sorry for our fans travelling this week.

Switching the august fixture would have meant travelling to Toronto backed up by a trip to Perpignan. Sandwiched between away fixtures at Hull and saints. Some itinerary, that.

Re: RD 7 | Catalan Dragons (A) : Tue Mar 10, 2020 6:23 pm  

Back Leeds here especially after looking at the fixtures we have when we are due to play them over here.
Either way its not our fault anyway Gaush should be looking at how his own Gov have made the rules to have no crowds at sporting events.

Let's not forget that Gausch could have let in 300 poor sods who've paid to travel there, plus 700 of his own fans, He chose not to.
