Maybe if we actually give them something to show they might start early.

They could always start the season with 2 triple-headers and let Sky use that instead? Just alternate whose home game it counts as each season. Doesn't have to be derbies as it's already pretty local.
Something like:
Yorkshire TH @ Bramall Lane
Leeds vs Wakey, Hull vs Bradford, Rovers vs Cas
North West TH @ Anfield/Goodison Park
Wigan vs Salford, Saints vs Widnes, Wire vs Hudds
Expansion on-the-road game anywhere
London vs Catalans
Still spreads the game. Still starts with a bang. Doesn't take the derbies away.

The problem with that is that no football club will allow 3 RL matches on their pitch in February.

On a technical note, BBC3 and BBC4 share the same satellite transponders as CBeebies and CBBC, it's just that they use different EPG numbers - which is why they don't start broadcasting until 7 p.m.

Sounds good to me, gather in the bars and pubs around Cardiff for a breakfast and the draw live on Sky Sports News. Bottom half of the 2011 table play Sat and the top half Sun.

| I think they should play it in the dark with glo paint for the lines, ball and player eyes. Imagine how cool that would be.

I'd prefer Warrington not to be on first. Swap?

Touch judges with glow sticks instead of flags and bizarre trance music all the way through?

Andy Wilson thinks it's going to be played at Manchester City's ground. Awful decision if true.. you don't get the pub and bar scene there like you do in Wales even though it's close enough to being in the city . More chance of being stabbed in that area too..

| Asking Bulls (again) to play Leeds would be totally unfair. Team that finished 10th vs SL Champions? You are having a laugh.
And if they DID stick to "local derbies" then you would have the new boys Widnes playing Warrington - again, you are having a laugh.
I do not agree with this invented extra fixture if it counts for SL points. Never have and never will. It can never be fair.

| Quote ="Horatio Yed"You could potentially have 1 v 14 how's that fair?
As it stands now
Wigan v Warrington
St Helens v Huddersfield
Catalans v Leeds
Castleford v Hull FC
Hull KR v Salford
Bradford v Quins
Wakefield v Widnes
Now there are some attractive fixtures and some not so but it is THE fairest system, we [WIRE will probably play Widnes this time round and although i really look forward to that fixture do you think that will be anything but a one sided affair?'"
Agree entirely.
Based on final placings, it would be:
Warrington v Wigan
St Helens v Huddersfield
Leeds v Catalans
Hull KR v Hull FC
Castleford v Bradford
Salford v London
Wakefield v Widnes
They don't look so bad? Or especially unfair, other than Cats might have grounds for complaint (could always switch Cats and Hudds...)
Not sure how it would look based on play-off rankings instead.

They play their last home game on the 13th May. The Magic weekend will be two weeks later then they will lay a new pitch for the new PL season.
