its true,

we also play saints on the 11th and leeds on the 12th

After playing 4 top teams NL in Widnes, Barrow, Toulouse, and Fev in 14 days, it wouldn't suprise me if the RFL thought that perfectly reasonable.

You could play Cas' on the 9th and us on the 10th - we might just give you a game then - well 40 minutes at any rate!

Nor, given our record for bending over backwards, to accommodate the oppostion, would it surprise me if we agreed to the 13th either. I've been trying to find out when the game is, to organise the programme, but I've not had Official Secrets Act clearance yet - bit like visas for Aussies, I reckon!

The date for the Fax game hasn't received clearance from the RFL yet.
