Notes:

Manchester is available for 3 matches during the season.
Sheffield is only available for the first 3 games of the season
So this year will be a predominantly 4 team competition, with Manchester & Sheffield playing 3 matches each.
Huddersfield’s ground is not available in May
Birmingham’s ground is not available for 6 dates, so only one home game
Each of the 4 clubs has one bye during the season
The team finishing on top of the ladder at the end of the season will automatically proceed to the Grand Final, where they will play the winner of the Preliminary Final.
Venues for the finals will be determined by ground availability and final ladder position. So, subject to their ground being available, the team finishing on top of the ladder will have the automatic right to host the Grand Final. Likewise the team finishing second will also have the right to host the Preliminary Final.

Summary

If Sheffield would like more matches, please let me know ASAP.
