Qualifiers- Leigh away : Sun Jul 24, 2016 10:24 pm  

Seems the Leigh coach let it slip that we're playing them a week on Saturday for the first game. Fully confident from what i saw at home against Hull that we can do it comfortably. I'd go with

O'Brien
Carney
J Griffin
Sau
Caton Brown
Lui
Dobson
Kopzcak
Tomkins
G Griffin
Murdoch Masila
Jones
Flanagan

Kenny
Burgess
Mateo
Huaraki

Salford by 16

I don't really know who we'll be playing first up. There are rumours that Leeds and Huddersfield 'can't' play at home, the first week, and that might start to influence the organisation for others. Mind you, York couldn't play their first game at home, couldn't find anywhere else when the RFL insisted on them fulfilling the home fixture, and have now 'folded'.

I don't suppose there will be any consistency here, like the RFL insisting Leeds & Huddersfield play their first games at home, if drawn to do so?

From what I read, the delay in announcing the schedule is to allow teams to advise RLHQ on stadiums' availablity. So I cannot see any favouritism HERE for Leeds or Huddersfield.

Probably based on the fact that last year's fixtures saw Championship first v SL tenth in week one.

That's exactly what Neil Jukes said in his Radio Manchester interview.
