Bulls attempt to undermine WCC : Tue Feb 10, 2009 12:47 pm  

Peter Hood has written to the RFL asking if their postponed game at Harelquins can take precedence over Manly's warm up game against Quinns that weekend.

Is this an appalling effort by Hood to undermien the event or does he have a point that a SL fixture should take precedence over a warm up game?

On this occassion he has a point.

Yes he has a point.

they should make the bulls go to quins on the wednesday before good friday

To be honest, I did wonder how well moving a SL fixture to accomodate a friendly would go down. I would therefore wonder whether this might be testing the RFL's patience a little further. I suppose a lot will depend on how much the RFL were involved in brokering the Manly game, and what agreements were put in place with Manly.

In short, if it was a Leeds gae being shifted so another club could play a friendly, I'd be a bit miffed.

Bulls want Manly to have no match practice before WCC, fine by me

They should just schedule it for Challenge Cup semi-final weekend - neither of them will have anything else to do...

If Leeds were to win, would this undermine our victory or would people not be bothered as long as we pick up the trophy?

We could blame Bulls

He does right.

Since when has a friendly been more important then two league points.
