Is that ideal preparation to start a season with = NO


Wigan play their first game tomorrow, we play our first game against them next Friday, and yet we haven't complained.

Because we are not idiots, and we understand professional sport.

Back OT, you are asking for this when you start your summer league in early Feb, and you start shifting league fixtures around in order to accomodate a friendly.

I agree that it is too early for the season to start, however we just don't have a long enough summer in the UK.

Last year we started a week earlier due to the World Cup and I don't believe that we had games called off, so we have just been unlucky with the extreme weather 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.


Like Bradford give a flying one when it is Quins traveling up there, remind me just what crappy times we've played you in the last few years?

the weather has been pretty bad, a few sports matches have been called off as a result, your team's included, get over it

anything else is just you being a paranoid nutter






When Hull KR got promoted they said there was only room for one elite team in Hull... how right they were!

They can however, cancel the game against Manly for

1) Scuppering our pre-season last year
2) Already scuppering it this year.

1) be unfair on the Bradford fans who work
2) Make Bradford play 3 games within a 7 day period.

Dave T wrote: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.


Bradford were not happy.. this game with Hull KR is part of Stanley Genes move to Hull KR and as a result of the RFL fixture planning etc has been called off twice.

If they are going to let the Australian team play a friendly though the logical thing would be for it to be the team who would have played the SL team in that week.

Sunday 6.3.05 3.00pm
Saturday 18.2.06 6.00pm
Sunday 24.5.07 3.00pm
Easter Monday 24.3.08 6.00pm

Yes truly awful kick off times.






I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying.
