Reports saying advanced talks re Saints v Salford to play a January friendly in Valencia with Featherstone also playing a local team.
Reports saying advanced talks re Saints v Salford to play a January friendly in Valencia with Featherstone also playing a local team.
Humans are more concerned with having than being.
So that could be 6/7 games against same opposition in 2020.
Potentially friendly, home and away, loop, magic, cup and play offs!
Could be an expensive year! Possibly Rotterdam or Amsterdam if we're an early Toronto game, then Toronto itself, Valencia, Catalans, Newcastle, Wembley (hopefully), Old Trafford (hopefully). Imagine if next year Toulouse get promoted and they have magic weekend in Barcelona too at some point
Won’t bother with a friendly myself, I’d be all over this if it were a Super League game though.

London played home loop games this year against us (1st in 2018) Wakefield (7th in 2018) and Salford (11th)
Based on 2019’s league table, Toronto will play us, Catalans and Hull KR in Home loop games.
Can’t see them taking Catalans to Holland. Think that would be more likely in London or France. Can see good away followings from us and Hull KR though.

I posted similar on another thread...
Wherever we end up. I just hope that they announce it soon and then stick to it. No messing round at the last minute!
The Valencia thing sounds good - Double Header et al.
Re Toronto - Rotterdam spot on. Home of the 9 nines. Regularly use the ferries from Hull , great experience.
Tailor made for Hull and Hull KR games. Could make a great pre-season base for Toronto.
Would love a Saints weekend there.
Valencia stick your head between your legs and whistle up your Barcelona
On the Back foot looking for the front one.
Valencia want to join League 1 in 2021 with 50% of their players being Spanish. They already have a 10 team league so there are grass roots there and the area has a population of over 4 million. Good article in the League Express regarding Valencia as a good expansion area
11th Jan. Fev have included this in their pre-season games.
