Bradford were not happy.. this game with Hull KR is part of Stanley Genes move to Hull KR and as a result of the RFL fixture planning etc has been called off twice.

If they are going to let the Australian team play a friendly though the logical thing would be for it to be the team who would have played the SL team in that week.

i agree it could have been arranged better. They could have had Leeds v Quins as the cancelled game that weekend.

The reason this is now a big issue is due to the weather though, which has been extreme.

The facts are that the Harlequins v Manly game should now be called off.

I'm still waiting for the second (and any subsequent) facts.

Actually, I'm still waiting for the first fact – all you've posted is an opinion.

Yep, so the Bradford fans are really saying "it's unfair that Quins have postponed our game when we wanted to postpone our friendly with Hull KR"

Why would we have postponed the game against Hull KR. The game was due to played at Craven Park where Hull KR played last night.

Your team haven't got that.

You have one week off, so why have you put two weeks off in your example? To try and make this look a bigger issue that it is.

It will now go:

Game, Week off, Game, Game, Game etc.

It would have gone:

Game, Game, Week off, Game, Game etc.

No big deal.

Should of played either Quins or Hull KR this week so that's game off, Hull KR at home (game), game off so Quins can play Manly and game vs Huddersfield.

So Im right in what I say, Game Off, Game, Game Off, Game, Game

Like Bradford give a flying one when it is Quins traveling up there, remind me just what crappy times we've played you in the last few years?

It should be called off because Quins v Manly is just a friendly, nothing more, nothing less.

That is a fact.

The RFL should scrap the game and play the Quins v Bulls fixture instead.

That was be being me.

Yes I do understand that it will be hard for you guys to come up to Odsal like last season at 6pm on a Monday, but I'm not moaning about kick-off times.

Im vexed off with the fact that the RFL see Harlequins v Manly as a bigger game then Harlequins v Bradford.

One is a friendly, one a Super League game.

This is my point, the RFL made us cancel the Hull KR friendly, so why don't they make you do the same with the Manly game.
