No.
They can however, cancel the game against Manly for
1) Scuppering our pre-season last year
2) Already scuppering it this year.
The only other time to play it would be during the week which would
1) be unfair on the Bradford fans who work
2) Make Bradford play 3 games within a 7 day period.
Integrity should not be damaged purely to grow Rugby League within London.
Highly unfair me thinks.

That has nothing to do with it.
The RFL will try and get away with it by telling Harlequins to play the Bradford game on a Wednesday mid-week.
Many Bradford fans have already said on the forum that they will never visit London away again if they do and I will be joining them.

So Quins will attract more for the Manly game than the Bulls?

Why don't Manly play Celtic - who don't have a game that week.

What a load of rubbish.
Why are people talking about two games before the Wigan game? You are talking as though this is the Grand Final, and the other three games were warm-ups.
Bradford were probably happy with this decision, as they would get a week off in a few weeks. No much anybody could have done about the weather. Stop acting like mard-ar$es.

So your club Dave has a game, week off, game, week off, game, etc.
Is that ideal preparation to start a season with = NO

Your team haven't got that.
You have one week off, so why have you put two weeks off in your example? To try and make this look a bigger issue that it is.
It will now go:
Game, Week off, Game, Game, Game etc.
It would have gone:
Game, Game, Week off, Game, Game etc.
No big deal.

The RFL sent the snow? What are they some kind of Bond villain?
Doubt everything, even this
