I would think Fox will be using the first early Challenge cup games as an extended pre season camp to be honest, (not the easiest 2 games I admit) the way the cup is set up we should in all seriousness, be qualifying for the 1/4 finals with our team, we have major issues if not! The first three actual league games against Guilford,Fife and Coventry should then give us a indicator of our team performance.. :thumbs:

Your first actual league game is Devils on Sunday isn’t it?

I think Cardiff's CC group is Guildford, Coventry and themselves.

Ours is like last season, with the bears and Storm.

Pre-season would be 4 games as a minimum for me.
If I was in charge Induction Day would have been 30th August.

Perhaps with player availability / costs etc it's as good as we could get this year , probably not ideal but that isn't the world we live in.

Maybe next year we might have the decent pre-season.

Corona has still got a lot of things to answer for....

Preseason didn’t look anything like long enough until about 7 on sunday evening when it looked just fine.
