I agree the league should be consistent, but surely there are more interesting things to talk about on here, personally I couldnt give two s**** about whether or not Virginia played an extra game or not. We all know that what happens this time of the year doesn't have any real effect on how performance in late Aug and Sept, so i really couldn't care less. My view is that if a club needs to be playing a trial game at any stage during the season then they clearly haven't done the work before the season started. Agree that there is no fitness training like game fitness particularly when you have 2 byes in a row, but IMHO there is nothing to be gained from playing a mickey mouse trial during the season other than to increase the chance of injuries.
