OT, but it’s really frustrating that the Sheff game isn’t being shown live. There are plenty of streaming options available, all capable of generating at least some revenue for either the RFL or individual clubs. It might not be a huge amount, but it’s better than nothing.

Beyond that, I understand that clubs are at the mercy of the TV schedulers (don’t get me started on us playing our first game on a Thursday night), but when it isn’t being televised, why schedule this game for a Friday night at 19:30 in Sheffield? They couldn’t have made it any more difficult for people with 9–5 jobs to get there.

Always feels like the fans are the last to be considered.

The reason the game is scheduled for Friday is to give Wigan the extra day preparation for the Leigh game.

Fair enough, but coming off preseason - is that not enough time to prepare?

Either way, streaming it would have made sense.
