I think Oldham V Warrington has been posponed until 31 January. As mentioned, Bradford V Warrington has been cancelled.

 

[Evil Homer]

Added some results from today.

 

[bartman]

Cheers for that, I need to give some of the previous weeks some TLC.

Are Huddersfield looking OK so far EH?

Up to date now Bartman.

I was looking at Halliwell Jones Stadium a few weeks back, they'd dug up the entire pitch and weren't even at the stage of re-laying it. With the weather that's hit the UK over the last few weeks (Tesco's in Warrington needs a new roof, btw), I can't see it being ready for Round 2. That said, there's still 4 weeks in hand, fingers crossed.

Champion Jed, cheers.

It was a crazy weekend of weather, with more to come this week apparently. Though as I'm writing this it's blindingly sunny over this side of the country...?

Yeah not a bad preformance against a Wigan side that obviously wanted to win,but you can't really tell much about the season to come from friendlies.

 

[bartman]

Big year for Huddersfield, potential to have another good cup run and improve a plac eor two on the ladder if things work out? Starting one week early too, need to have thing staking shap that little bit sooner...

 

[GJB-HKR]

Hull KR beat Bradford...

[bartman]

4,000 good crowd for a first-up friendly in this weather.

 

[roughyed8]

Oldham 42 Warrington Wolves 6 ,
good result for the new look roughyeds, scored 8 tries and played some good rugby against a young wolves side that had only 4 players with SL experience.

 

[bartman]

Cheers for the report R8.

Ok, I think that's it for this thread now? A lot of academy teams having a run in the defeats of big name clubs this weekend.

I'll unsticky this and replace with a 2007 season fixture thread with Sky details during the week.
