For perspective..... here's a post taken from the Salford fans site....
"Looking at our fixtures for October and scheduled for November is an absolute joke
October 3rd, 8th, 13th, 17th, 23rd, 26th, 30th (7 games in 27 days)
November 2nd, 6th, 8th, 12th (4 games in 10 days)
Total 11 games in 40 days with one of the smallest squads in Super League.
It's amazing we've managed to fulfil our fixtures so far. Super League and the RFL have a duty of care to the players and any punishment would show then up for what they are."
I'd argue not one SL club could cope with that fixture list, let alone one with the smallest squad. Still, at least the mighty Wire have managed to avoid a 6th consecutive beating at the hands of little old Salford.
I believe as we had no players left and Huddersfield were available we asked if we could postpone our game and re-arrange it, but they wouldn't have it. Wire I believe hadn't played for 17 days (not their fault) and I believe once we play Catalan on the 2nd they won't have played for 23 days.
And people complain about TWO games at Easter.
11 games in 37 days.
