We should have been allowed to play it when we wanted, on the Friday night. Our choice because we finished second. In years gone by play-off games were played on Thursday evenings for the benefit of TV, so I think it's wrong Sheffield were allowed to veto Friday.

But that's not how it's decided.

The Featherstone club have been completely caught out as they obviously didn't expect to reach this stage. They have even knocked out some programmes with the incorrect date on - 28th AUGUST ? probably from some old,unsold ones from last month. I think they may have some cashflow problems. I hope their players are caught-out just the same. Stay safe.

Not according to their website may be an amateur game that could easily been cancelled basically they want a big game atmosphere under lights to give them the best chance to progress which is there prerogative we did exactly the same in the 1st round by playing at Doncaster as that was our best chance of progressing. However its too much hassle for me to attend tonight so good luck and i will be following via twitter

As Lemmy Kilmister said, you win some, lose some. It'd be a dull game indeed if we knew the result beforehand.

"Worked a treat" ? So are you suggesting that there was something underhand done ?

I didn't understand the "intimidation" comments anyway. We've played Rovers under the lights in the past two years - one we lost to a last minute try from a knock on and the other we won by 20 points. Hardly intimidating.

Nor the Etu thing. If he's such a bad player, why wouldn't you want him to play ?
