\u2018The Sportsman\u2019 YouTube channel<\/a><\/p>\nThere are six games on your screens on Friday night, and in typical fashion, five of them kick off at the same time. The odd one out kicks off 15 minutes earlier at 7.45pm, seeing West Yorkshire foes Bradford and Featherstone square off in the first week of the Championship play-offs. That game will cost \u00a310 to view though as it\u2019s being streamed behind a paywall.<\/p>\n
Four of the five 8pm kick-offs come from Super League, and the importance of them will depend on what happens on Thursday night. Sky\u2019s main pick is Leeds\u2019 trip to Wigan, but Leigh v Huddersfield, Salford v Wakefield and Saints v Castleford will all also be behind the Red Button.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s also another bit of Championship play-off action for you, with Oldham hosting in-form Halifax in the pair\u2019s eliminator tie at Boundary Park. The Sportsman are showing this one for free on their YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
