12th & 13th of february first game of season
will be played in cardiff,
fixtures are: hull v hull kr, leeds v bradford, wakefield v castleford, wigan v saints, quins v catalans, salford v wire/huddersfield or crusaders v wire/huddersfield

Where your info nothing on SL website at moment.

Confirmed?? Wire with the easy extra game again I see!

ive got it off the warrington forum and saw there was nothing on here about it so i put it on

Looks like our first game's on the 4th then.

will there still be another 2 games of saints v wigan ?

Yes. If Wire get to play Salford or Crusaders its a disgraceful concept yet again.

1) The fixtures haven't been announced.

2) MM will not be additional fixtures. They will be the 1st round of SL

They should make Wire play Huddersfield if they're doing the derbies again. It's as muich a derby as Wire v Salford and it would be a far more entertaining and interesting game, especially after Saturday nights game in the playoffs

Are they the first round? If it is Us v Saints how will they decide who loses their home game? Another nightmare is around the corner imo.

looking forward to it... World club championship game + wigan v saints derby all within a few weeks should make for a great start to the season

.

I know its not in summer(even though we don't have one!) I am still going as I will be that deprived of rugby league I would even walk to Cardiff if I had to!

I know warrington are going to have a somewhat easier game than us.. what about Leeds they've got Bradford!!.

If you've never been to MM then give it a go. I have been to all four and have a great time at all of them. I am also glad its back at Cardiff. Its a great venue which is ideal for the MM concept.

Which are aditional fixtures, It doesnt matter which round its played. Unless we are now playing 26 games.

Why not have Wire v Hudds and Salford v Crusaders. That would be fairer.

Thats what i thought. Making it the 1st round fixtures will cause even more uproar than having the event to start with!

That would be fair enough imo. Plus that Wire vs Hudds game would have added spice after last week

Which is a 27-round league, meaning that they ARE in fact additional fixtures.

Otherwise, either Wigan or Saints would have to pass up a 14k (Saints) or 25k (Wigan) crowd, for a 1/6 share of the takings from a crowd of around 30k (most paying vastly reduced ticket prices anyway - e.g £15 for 3 matches = £5 per match).

Don't kid yourself - These are an extra round of fixtures that mean that our league can NEVER be a fair fight.

Another crap MM concept.

Why don't they wait till the weekend before fixture is over, then play 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th and so on.

The only fair fixtures are based on this seasons final table, 1 v 2, 3 v 4 etc

It's the RFL, they're not interested in fair, they just want to get as many attending as they possibly can, in a vain attempt to justify its existence.

Well im looking forward to it anyway.
i know there are loads of faults with it but its still a great weekend away

Couldn't agree more!!!

We could be playing Latics for me I'd still be there!!!



(Lots of complaining about the cold however)

Great weekend away to start the season BUT a pointless weekend to promote the game.

England v Wales in the 6 nations, Cardiff v Swansea both on the same weekend.

Salford will be no push overs next season

Stay away. Vote with your hard earned cash, and dont buy the tickets. the RL need a kick up the arris from the fans. We are treated like we mean and bring nothing to the game. We are a minor afterthought in decision making by the powers that be. The RL will carry on treating fans like this if we do not say enough is enough. We do not need this weekend, most fans i've spoken to dont want it anymore, especially on a non Bank Holiday weekend in the middle of winter.
Take off your i wont have seen any RL specks for four months, and ask yourselves why do we need this event, that in the last few years was failing anyway.
I love this game, but will not be taken for granted by the n0bs who run it.
If you are desperate for a weekend on the ale save your MM money and go to Catalans instead, a place where the locals do actually support and appreciate the game.
