It does especially as the round after isn't played until June!!

Agreed.

3 games in 8/9 games is not good.

Large problem. BBC already have there slot announced for Saturday 26th April 2PM, Leeds Carnegie are at home that day in their last game of the season, cannot be changed due to being last game apparently. Unless BBC want to play ball and have this game on, they'll have to change the slot time.

If the clubs had some balls they would play it at Elland Road, if Leeds FC aren't playing there.

Or you could always switch the tie to St Helens. Our ground is free of unwanted guestsicon_wink.gif

Sorry silly girl

Ok congratulations saints

A Hull, Huddersfield and Leeds fan now?!

The winner of the Leeds Saints game will be favourites for the cup. But thats the good thing about the cup, Favourites count for nothing.

Are you privy to Massimo Cellinno's plans and intention's ?wow they will be upset

I will miss this by a few days coming home for the pies game.Leeds are drawn at home and they have proper sized goal posts .Leeds once played at E R in a big game and used Hunslet's goal post's and Hunslet won the title.

Them pesky goal posts eh? Costing people games left right and centre!

Leeds RUFC will move to South Leeds or Otley or somewhere. There is no question of them interfering with the primary users of the stadium.

Guess sky will take up their option to screen a game?

Put it one way i'm more confident playing Leeds at Headingley than i was playing Huddersfield away. I hate us playing the Giants, even when they was only just coming good under Brown they always made life difficult for us.

Large problem? That's no problem at all. Leeds Carnegie have an average crowd of 2000 and will be at home to a team from Penzance in a game that irrelevant to the league because the 4 teams in the play-offs are already decided. (I didn't know this, not caring about Union but looked it up).

Rather than miss BBC exposure for Leeds, the RU side can be shifted to Otley or Harrogate or wherever, where I'm sure they'll be happier anyway.

This would have to be in agreement with the RFU, Carnegie & Cornish Pirates aswell as they have plans in place for the game already.

They could just play a doubleheader, as Harlequins RU and RL did a few years ago at the Stoop. (Was the RL game v Saints?)

It will be played on Sunday.

good luck in next round!

So what’s your beef? These things are just luck, fate, a throw of the dice, whatever; it’s just the way it goes sometimes. A bit like fifty fifty refereeing decisions.

Correct, Saints should just be happy to be in the bag for the next round.

Now confirmed that they have moved their game 24 hours earlier and our match with Leeds will be the televised game on the Saturday.

Was never in doubt. In this situation Leeds are like Wigan Athletic and the RU team are like Wigan RLFC. Except we are magnanimous enough to let them play less than 24 hours before we need the pitch.

I think she really is a Saints Fan

Well they had a double header once and it was like waiting an eternity for the RU game to finish and RL to start.
