SAINTS’ fixture at Widnes Vikings has been brought forward two days to Friday March 13, 2015.
The game was originally due to be played on the Sunday but with Warrington visiting Langtree Park the following Thursday, it has been moved in line with the RFL’s policy on player welfare.
We are grateful to Widnes for agreeing to rearrange the fixture.
Blake Solly Super League General Manager said: “Sky has established Thursday night rugby league as a particular focus of its Super League coverage. As a governing body and working in conjunction with the Super League clubs we will be required to manage the ramifications of this broadcasting slot.
“We appreciate that player welfare must be considered wherever possible in managing the short turnaround that can be caused by playing on a Thursday evening. The RFL will therefore accept requests for any club involved in a Thursday night fixture to move its previous Sunday fixture to a Saturday or Friday.
“We are grateful to Widnes Vikings and all our member clubs who have worked with us to manage the fixture amendments for the forthcoming season.”
