The likelihood is that the clubs will see the fixtures in advance to be able to change any dates. Sky will also likely pick the games on TV to be announced on the same day.

I'd fully expect our games vs Wigan and Warrington to be on TV given the significance in the race for 2nd.
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

Sky usually pick the first 5 weeks of fixtures, then choose the remaining 2 weeks when they know how the comp is forming.

Having looked at the fixtures it would seem we've got the rough end of the stick in terms of home games with the 4 least attended clubs coming to us.

Will be subject to change in the last few games though for sky. Maybe the first 4 week will be set in stone.

Four least attended clubs? So you don't think Trinity will bring a few over?

Depends how competative Wakefield prove to be. Sometimes you bring a good following. Other times it's paltry. First game of 8s I imagine would be a decent crowd. If Cas' form is poor and Wakey fancy their chances, there will be good numbers coming over regardless of when it's played. Or if there's anything tonplay for.

Yeah fair enough, I'd like to think we'd fill the railway end.

And we are 2 points ahead of them In the super 8s and can afford to lose one of these fixtures. We could have got an easier run in if we lost to Widnes .... Bit of a no brainier

Doesn’t really make much difference either way. Not quite sure what they’re on about.

Wigan fans saying we travel to the DW in round 1 Friday 10th August. Not sure how true. Expect that to be on sky.

It's a guess from me but my money is on Pies away first up - but on Thursday - not Friday.

Saints, Wire & Catalans in the cup semi this Sunday & will be given longer to recover

SKY will want a big game to start proceedings. Huddersfield v Hull might be another option though.

It will all come out in the wash tomorrow lunchtime...

We could end up playing Saints away 2 weeks in a row on a Thursday / Friday night!!

What a joke of a fixture list!
