Something about moving it back to its more traditional date as it was before rugby league became a summer sport. Thinking about it, next weekend is the ideal time this year as it's about the only weekend without any meaningful football or other major events.
It's better than what happened for the 2021 and 2022 Premiership Rugby finals that was two or three weeks later, clashing with the Euros in 2021 (though the season did start late because of COVID backlog so not totally their fault).
