Looks like we're putting pressure on the RFL and Sheffield to get the game rearranged. York are doing the same by the sounds. Can understand it as that missed fixture could stop us getting 3rd and York an outside chance of sneaking into the play-offs

You throw Batley'x statement last week regarding postponements (maybe I'm putting 2+2 and getting 5 here) but I just get the feeling some clubs aren't impressed here. Batley statement regarding where players sat on a coach contributing to whether their a close contact was interesting reading.

In all honesty I'd be surprised if this gets rearranged. Don't think the RFL can force Sheffield to do it (great management and leadership as always) and as we've seen before, Sheffield are not usually ones to do something if it doesn't benefit them.

Is it 16 games that have to be completed to count for playoffs? I mean, that won't bother Sheffield but other teams may be short. I think Toulouse have an exemption for this rule.

AFAIK the 16 game thing doesn't apply when a team has a game cancelled as opposed to postponed. Every games that gets cancelled reduces the number of games need to qualify y one. So we only need to complete 15 games to qualify as our game v toulouse was cancelled. Toulouse are biggest beneficiaries of this as most of there games have been cancelled due to travel restrictions, whereas most of games involving two uk teams affected by covid have been postponed.

Unsurprisingly Sheffield not wanting to play.

Ashton doesn't want a midweek game as that would mean his squad would potentially have 3 games in a week. It's understandable that he is against this idea as a part time team. Unless this game is tagged on at the end of the year, I can't see where we are going to squeeze it in as we don't have any free weekends between now and the end of the season.

Time for the RFL to step in and make a decision. If they refuse to play midweek then give us the 24-0 win.

I'm sure part time teams have played midweek games before. IIRC we played a cup game midweek season before last. It's not fair on season ticket holders who have paid for this game. Seems like a bit of a soft option for Aston as they have nothing to gain from this game as they are mid table. Grow a pair Eagles.

That would require actual leadership. At the moment it's optional for the clubs to decide whether they want to rearrange or not. Farce.

Agree with the above comment. Player welfare didn't come in to it when the Eagles played mid-week games to lift the 1895 cup. It's basically more beneficial for the Eagles to not play these games so why would they.

a quick gander at the run in ... fax do appear to have the hardest so 3rd is still not beyond us (without the eagles rearranged game). yeah we've still got toulouse at home but our other games are winnable, fax still have tricky away games and one against fev
