Betfred Super League Round Six - Update

The RFL have determined that Friday's Betfred Super League fixture between Wakefield Trinity and Hull KR can go ahead as scheduled at the Be Well Support Stadium.

As stated after Wakefield's last home match against Huddersfield Giants on March 3, An inspection of the playing surface has been conducted, with officials of both clubs present, following issues since the pitch was relaid during the off-season.

After considering the report of an independent consultant and other submissions, the RFL Board ruled that the playing surface has improved significantly in the 17 days since the Huddersfield fixture, and the match does not need to be switched.

Unfortunately, this decision comes too late for Sky Sports to revert back to their original plan to show the match, having taken the decision to show an alternative fixture on advice from the RFL and RL Commercial.
