Yeah we've been very unlucky with a terrible run of fixtures, though we have a pretty nice May coming up. It also hasn't helped the two very hard draws in the CC.

Who ever loses today, is more than likely to win the next game between Leeds and Saints

No, you'll have a easy June as I believe the next round of the CC is in June.


Surely even the most biased pie eater can't deny you've had a easy Easter period compared to the rest.

Dewsbury, London, saints, bulls, Hunslet. That's basically 4 weeks you can rest players.


I've not seen your fixtures for June but I'll put money on you lot having a easy game the week before the CC (I'll go for wildcats at home)

Not moaning about our fixtures and yes Easter was kind, however in May we play Leeds twice, once away and once at Manchester, Hull FC away, Salford away and Huddersfield away.

All at home? You don't seem to play away.

When have you got Leeds? I bet it's next week after the CC game between us and Leeds.

Think we play you the week before the CC, maybe wrong. But yes an easy fixture
