The Russians are flying into Manchester, staying in Leeds, travelling then to play us, then back to Leeds before going back to Manchester to fly home. Wouldnt it have been simpler to stay at the LSV, apparently the RFL have sorted this out. THe club did try and sort out some thing special but this is whats happening. Weird.

Mabe someones bumping up their Nectar/Marriot/Hilton Points up?

Sight seeing. Its a lovely drive over the Pennines.

Nigel Wood has shares in Wallace Arnold.

Its very strange, why not fly to Leeds?

Probably the airline coming in does not fly there. Still dont get staying in Leeds, maybe the RFL set up a special deal with the hotel? Why they could not have done one with the Park Inn and kept the coffers local is beyond me however the RFL are beyond me so ....

I would like teams to use the on site hotel, but this will be a once only trip over for some of the Russian lads, and I would like to think that the RFL/sponsors have plans to ensure they enjoy their trip.

When are they arriving? In time to and watch the Friday game live/hospitality? Training Saturday at Leeds Carnegie?

They could have gone to the Flash
