It’s just more mismanagement on by the RFL. Instead of having the fans and clubs coming together as a whole to support the national team all they’ve done is get people to resent it due to how they’ve handled it. All it needed was some forethought and planning for a week with no other fixtures taking place. It’s not like they not had any time to think about it. Following a season where the sport/clubs were impacted heavily and the current season it’s still having an impact on clubs which are struggling yet the RFL think it’s great to hamper clubs even further with this fixture. Not only that but it makes a total mockery of the SL fixtures. If the governing body can’t take the league format seriously how the hell can they expect any one to take it or the sport seriously.
