Friday's Super League match between Hull FC and the Bradford at the KC Stadium has been postponed following the closure of the M62.
Realistic
Bradford football manager Stuart Duffy admitted that in his 15 years in rugby league he had never gone through anything similar.
Duffy said: "Fifteen years I've been involved with Bradford Bulls, and I've never had to divert off the motorway on the way to a game. Fortunately we were before the A19 (exit and could divert).
"Realistically eight or nine of their players weren't going to get here before 915pm which is the last time the game could have kicked off.
"At the end of the day we can't expect Hull to put a load of kids in because it's an important competition.
"We could have played it tomorrow but it would have been an early kick-off and we would have got back late tonight.
"It's better for everybody concerned that the game is played on Sunday, and we'll travel across on Sunday morning."
