There is bound to be some raising of eyebrows at the latest round of Super League fixtures to be announced. SKY TV have updated their schedules to indicate that all Round 11 matches, scheduled for the weekend of the 5th and 9th September, will be shown on the non-subscription SKY Sports Mix channel (Channel 121) and will also be available through the SkyGoApp.
The vertical movement of facial hair will be due to the timings of the games which have all been moved away from their Saturday and Sunday slots to be played on Thursday and Friday. Working supporters Salford Red Devils and Castleford Tigers are likely to feel particularly aggrieved.
The full schedule for the round is as follows;
Thursday 3rd September
14:30 – Salford Red Devils v. Castleford Tigers
18:00 – Hull KR v. Wigan Warriors
20:15 – Wakefield Trinity v. Leeds Rhinos
Friday 4th September
18:00 – Huddersfield Giants v. St Helens
20:00 – Warrington Wolves v. Hull FC
SKY will also be televising the re-arranged Round 7 game between the Catalans Dragons and Leeds Rhinos kicking off at 18:15 on Monday 7th September.
