It should be a free weekend. It's not fair to ask players to play two games in a weekend and not fair on the clubs.

I couldn't agree more, I just meant with the RL seemingly picking a fixture weekend for some reason, I was trying to minimise the impact on the teams/players.

Just shows are hard up we are for talented players when we need to use 'hard working' (aka average) players in key positions. He's not even good enough for the goons never mind England!

I think Rogues will self-combust with excitement at the news

Seems a bit harsh on Houghton at Hull to me.

Well, Perry won't be in the Exiles team anyway, so that is one player who should be ok for Bradford!

The RFL were thinking along the lines of it being an Origin game

State Of Origin takes place on a wednesday, then they play again on either Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday yet we decide to hold it on a Friday with all the fixtures coming 2 days after as opposed to the Aussies who will play 3/4 days later.

Initiative but lack of sense.
