As expected we play Huddersfield at Magic (in Newcastle) on Sunday 4th May.

Much stronger lineup of games and fan bases on the Sunday this time, we are on 1st before Wire v Wigan then Cas v Wakefield.

Think the full list is out on Thursday.

Wouldn't be surprised if this happened:

Round 1 Wakey A
Round 2 Leigh H

first game on the sunday at magic means no hanging around after atleast

each club releases their opening home game on weds evening, so we will know who are first 2 fixtures are before the full list then next morning

im going for Leigh away first up!

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if we played Leigh in round 1

Has to be HKR

Can't see it this year with us only playing them twice but we'll see! The derbies would be over for another year in the middle of April

With us starting the season proper in the cup, so far we're looking at...

1st Feb: Friendly v Cas (A)
8/9th Feb: Challenge Cup v lower league team (A)
14/15/16th: League game (Probably away with us starting at home last year)
22/23rd: Likely first home game of the year

Think our loop games are Wigan and Leeds (?) at home; and Warrington and Cats away. So presume our first four games will include a combination of those games.

Catalans away with another frozen pitch it is then!
