Looks like two losses to start the season but no biggie as it'll help the team gel for when the must win games start

Perhaps but we need the first W on the board given we've only won three out of our last thirty-four games (and lost n-n-n-n-nineteen games away from home in a row).

None of them received a hero's welcome.

Blimey! The BBC doesn’t like us.

Just clicked on the SL League Table on the RL page and they have us bottom. Normally in the close season they list the league in alphabetical order with all teams on 0 points.

Saints, Hudds and Wakefield are 1, 2, and 3. Even the great Man City/PSG of Rugby League are only sixth.

Warrington, Wigan, Leigh and Catalans 3 times. That feels rough.
It's a hugely back loaded fixture list when it come to home games again with about 2/3 in the final 3 months of the season.

Four home games in first 13, five in first 16, 8 from last 11 games at home hopefully we be in a half decent position.

Will need to improve our away record (and also win record based on last year)

Those four loop fixtures are a knock on effect of finishing in the bottom four this year (two top-four sides plus two mid-four sides). We're continuing to pay the price for being so bad in 2024.
It's another obstacle we have to work through next year as we start the road back to respectability.

Good to see the fixtures are spread over the weekend at last a bit of common sense, no three games on a Friday anymore, One Thursday, two Friday, Two Saturday and one Sunday but sometimes one Saturday, two Sunday.

How are the loop fixtures arrived at, I'm assuming there is some sort of logic to it?
