Huddersfield, however, have needed to move TWO home fixtures to facilitate the move.

They were due themselves to host Salford on Sunday April 26 but that has now been shifted to Thursday April 23 (7:45pm).

With that in mind, the visit of Warrington Wolves - originally listed for Sunday April 19 - has been brought forward 24 hours to Saturday April 18 (3pm).

Huddersfield managing director Richard Thewlis said: "This has been an incredibly tough rejig to work through and we have to thank all three clubs involved for their co-operation and understanding that this problem was not of our making and could, in reality happen to any of us such are the vagaries of the weather patterns at this time of year."
