13 times in first 18 weeks as Magic weekend will be on TV
One Sunday home game between season start and end of June
Hull, London and Warrington at home twice
Wigan, Huddersfield and Leeds away twice
We will not play Leeds at MW given we play them the week before

Leeds' first 4 games are all away to Warrington, Wigan, Salford and Saints. Absolutely fantastic.

Guessing this must be due to developments on Headingley, but still.

Quick snapshot:

Loop Fixtures Odds v Evens based on Top 8 at split and final 4 in Middle 8's after split (London being 12)

3 H games vs 4, 8 and 12
3 A games vs 2, 6 and 10

Only 1 Away game on a Sunday - "family friendly" sport my backside. Pain in the backside for families in our travelling support

Only 5 Sunday Home games out of 14. May as well change our home games to Friday night at this rate.

Factoring in Magic, a brutal period which if speculation is correct, is likely to see us having Wigan, Warrington, Leeds and then Saints (Magic).

We seem to have been given a raw deal in terms of blocks of back-to-back games against big teams:
March/April - Saints, Leeds, Wigan
April/May - Wigan, Wire, Leeds, Saints (Magic)
September - Saints, Hull, Wigan


Positives: At least we don't have to negotiate the M62 car park THAT many times on a Thursday night with only Warrington and Hull away the furthest away games. Mostly local games. That being said, Salford, Saints and Wigan on Friday nights is a joke.

Also, our Sunday Home games include Warrington, Leeds and Hull which should give us some bumper crowds

IMO - it's a complete pigs ear of a fixture list. Wonder if the club vetoed it?

Do Club's get the opportunity to comment on fixtures at a 'proposed' stage? I ask this as I was under the impression the Clubs got the fixture list today which is then publicised to the masses next week?

Totally agree with some of this. Top 4 playing each other 3 or 4 times is ridiculous. This is clearly rewarding all the crap teams like Wakey, Leeds and the 2 Hull teams. Reward for finishing in top 3 is hardly worth the effort these days.

Thankfully it makes no difference to me which days we play as I can do them all but feel for the families and the fans that work regularly on a Thursday and Friday.

Catalans away at Easter is a joke after a short turn around but someone has to do it unfortunately.

Sunday’s at 3.30 are now a thing of the past for us.

Sky currently has free slots the weekends of the Warrington and Leeds games and the televised games for Rd 28 are TBC so we could potentially see all 3 being shifted
