I think I'm right in saying that the June 4th game always was going to be on that day - its a Bank holiday this year I believe

So this isn't anything to do with 'Monday Night Rugby'

Aye Spring Bank Holiday. But surely the club wouldn't have done this knowing they have a fixture on Friday night? Makes more sense to play it Sunday. Hopefully we can get the Sky game changed to another fixture and not have players backing up within 4 days?

Saints away with a side that's barely recovered doesn't bear thinking about.

weren't we given assurances that we wouldn't play the Monday and then the following Friday?

Why are RL fans seemingly incapable of travelling short distances for midweek games, but this is never a problem for football fans?

Minor point I know but Fri/Sat/Sun games are fine for the medical staff as shifts can be swapped if your club Dr is a hosp doc in his day job. If he is a GP then his day usually finishes at 18.30 on a Monday (or later if Monday is the extended hours night). As clubs usually want their medical staff present about 90mins before kickoff then that could cause a couple of problems requiring some forward planning.
