East Hull is littered with capped off pit heads and un-used coal reserves.

We've not withdrawn from the competition so don't need to re-apply. We can't fulfil fixtures before the scheduled seasons end due to a Covid outbreak. Players have to isolate for 14 days and our last game is scheduled for 10 days time. We have also paid all our players on time and played all our games on the road to suit the competition and help fulfil the Sky contract. Cheers.

Ey up lad, we're are these coyl reserves, I’ve been chasing haddock, and coyl was underfoot.

Why won't there be any games - isn't the idea to replace the meaningless games left with an extended play-off series? Can't see Sky being too upset with swapping bad viewing figures for good? Or will we have a shortfall of games now?

Plenty of games, it does appear as though there is a play off for 7th place this week to produce a standby team, then we go into a top 6 play off.

Giants playing Wigan on Friday on sky so it is not Wigan who have lost players to Covid. Must be saints !

No, that was only a rumour. The latest rumour was that the RFL instructed Catalan to stop in England after the Salford game and play Saints at a neutral venue on Thursday. Saints agreed to it but Catalan later refused and went back to France. The new Covid rules came into play on the Thursday and the international protocol needed to be clarified, result cancellation of the fixture and the play offs agreed for next week.

They allowed the Wigan game, to complete 17 games as per Saints to decide the LLS.

Season finishing this weekend for play offs so it's only one fixture being forfeited due to not been able to raise a team due to Covid. Disgusting, kick us out

(Salford also forfeited a game earlier in the season and Cas next two games also cancelled btw).

Was it getting to boring in your cave then?
