I understand its an RFL byelaw of some kind but i think we deserve a sensibe explanation. Im sure Barrow would have preffered the weekend as well.
No, it's about playing round 3 on Thursday. We would only hav e four days rest if the Barrow game's on Sunday, whereas the opposition would have a full week.
If we'd beat Fev last year, we would have played Widnes on Friday for precisely that reason.
On the other hand, Saturday would have been a decent compromise.
