St Helens will finish bottom of SL.

RL will be the national sport on the Beeb who will drop soccer as will all the other stations.

RU will be banned completely as a waste of time and space.

Palestinians and Isrealis will come together and live in harmony , turn into the richest state on the planet and alleviate the poor in the USA.


Well you can but hope

If it means Keighley have to win the cup to get the rest, I'll take that!

Yes i was thinking about that but then you would think maybe the club with the lower capacity would swap the fixture and play it at the bigger ground? I no there are good and bad points about that though.

Can't see it to be honest.

In the past clubs who have done that have done so largely on the assumption they will make more money from it, I can only see them losing money in this case.

The smaller club would forego all bar and concession income in return for quite possibly a reduced gate revenue. Plus there is the ill will it would generate with the 'home' teams own fans.

I do know what you mean but say if a club goit hunslet, they only have one stand and would be easily sold out from season tickets but if the game got reversed ir would bring in more money from potential non season ticket holders. I do get your point though about the booze and the income

Think Hunslet have switched "Home" games to Headingly before now (one game vs Bradford in the cup at least)

Anyone know who we're playing or have heard through a friend of a friend who cleans the barrel they draw from at the rfl?

I want a team I've never been to before away that is winnable or failing that a nice easy one at home.

Widnes or someone like that who will bring some away support too.

Let's hope so as it is easier and quicker for a lot of us to get there on the plane than on coach.
