Yep it's your away game that you play at home. Crazy

Agreed. That's why Last season and this season are basically just training runs.
Why can't this game be at Belle Vue?

Because Sky are showing every game so it makes ‘sense’ to have them all played at a ground that can accommodate all the fixtures.

Quite, which in turn means season ticket holders can see the coverage provided by Sky.
It was known the first two rounds would be played in one location, and at two of the grounds covid-secured last year for multiple games to be played on them. If Wakefield didn't want to go to the cost or difficulty of making Belle Vue one of these then they can't complain when someone else did. Leeds, in turn, play a home game at St Helens the following week.

And if all the games weren’t being shown on sky people would just moan about that instead.

We have to accept that the first part of the season isn’t going to be a ‘normal’ one and crack on.

I think the players and coaching staff would disagree about "just training runs".

Did Wakefield make their stadium available to host one of the opening two rounds of games?


Does that actually matter in terms of Wakefield being the "home" side here.
With no fixtures having been played and a blank canvas for the fixture planners and Leeds hosting round 1, why on earth should this be anything other than a Leeds home fixture.
Had it been rearranged at short notice etc, then, it is what it is but, the decision to have the game as a Trinity "home" fixture is a little odd.

I'm guessing wakeys ground staff may well be still furloughed along with other clubs whose grounds are still closed. Has to be a cost cutter to share in the absence of crowds

One thing they definitely aren't going to do is penalise the teams who have gone to the trouble of making their stadia available by enforcing games there to count as home games leaving clubs who haven't done that to have more of their home games later, potentially with crowds.
