Ideal situation for mine. We'll probably lose this one, and can quite reasonably blame it on lack of time for the squad. And it gets by far the most difficult match of the season out of the way first up.



And if we do happen to pull off a win, then we get bragging rights on this forum





It's a long season, and nothing will be decided by what happens on the first week

Couldn't really pick two tougher away games to begin with, especially given the amount of new players we will have to mould into a team. I fully expected we would be away to Leigh though, we're the big draw in that league. We will bring the largest following and we'll be the team that everyone will be looking to beat. Let's hope the players are ready for the challenge and extra pressure on their shoulders.

Set up nicely from a league perspective. Leigh will beat the Bulls (trying to be realistic, the team will be too 'new' to perform at their best on the 1st day of the season) - Then all the pundits will be screaming about how close the championship is compared to the bottom end of SL, thus trying to raise the profile of the championship to other viewers.

YES!!! Over moon with this. Don't care if it's random or not. Start the season with a bang. Reckon 5k will be there at least!

119 days to go, can't wait!

You have been reading too many David Cameron shot JFK constipation sorry conspiracy theories, Byb. No reference to a computer and random choice on the RFL website, so not random, for obvious PR reasons. and your conspiracy theory is really a bit shallow: check out the Blackpool bash: Featherstone before, London after, so GUESS WHO WE WILL GET FOR THAT GAME?? HUNSLET???? i dont think so.



as for me, I dont want a single easy game out of the 23, because its all good prep for the S8s. Promotion is the objective.

Bit harsh aren't you? I am sure I read somewhere it said it was random?

I really was hoping the joke mid season contest would be canned once the new structure came into force. The fact that it is in Blackpool only gives me further reason to find something else to do that weekend!

I think you're thinking of the disciplinary process...

If anyone wants that list as a .CSV file which can be imported into most versions of Outlook, I've made and uploaded one here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b9vm4sfx0jidu ... 5.csv?dl=0 Jut a great start to the season. Can't wait now! I think our last league match against Leigh was Round 5 Fri 11 Mar 2005 Leigh 6 - 46 Bradford ref: Karl Kirkpatrick Att: 4,241

Throw a few 'stats' his way - This is the only way of making him happy, well.... that and his 1 way conversations with FA

I wish I was a betting Man, as I made precisely that prediction! Could have made a fortune on a certainty.
