The real problem is how to restart the league. The UK may choose to go ahead with game behind closed doors or normal support in the next 4 weeks, but if France or more likely Canada is still in severe lockdown, we can't, adding to a longer delay. I realise that this is a unique situation, but this highlights a real issue with having non-UK teams in the league. We might be ready to get going and get revenue into the game but might be blocked by several more weeks.

In the extremely unlikely event that games are able to be played in the UK at some point relatively soon, but France and Canada have restrictions, then Catalans and Toronto will have to just play their "home" games over here. I'm booked for Toronto away in July and don't for one second expect to be going, and nor do I really expect any professional rugby league game to be played in 2020. At least not with a crowd. The only way I see it as even marginally possible is if there's a significantly shortened season played out much later in the year, that then enables a top four (1 V 4, 2 V 3, Grand Final) play off series to be held once crowds are able to return.

No Challenge Cup games or internationals.

Or it could well be the other way around

Not sure why you think that this government and it will be them and not SL that decide when to lift restrictions, why you think we might be ready before France or Canada.

France may be ready before us, but Canada probably after us.

The point is, having a single league split across multiple countries potentially adds further delay/complication as opposed to all members being from the same country. How would all the other clubs feel if 11 clubs are ready to get going but can't for several more weeks just because one club is based in a country still quarantined?

Fair point.

Well the good news is Toronto are in England so it would only be Catalans.

Miles off happening but you'd assume if eleven, or even ten, clubs were good to go the other(s) would have to withdraw temporarily and have their results expunged.

so we can add another 2-3 weeks onto the already cancelled games, anymore and the season is gone imo, possibly a few clubs too

Well maybe if the Government didn’t have a bumbling baboon in charge a lockdown may have come a lot sooner. It was clear that as soon as Italy went into lockdown the rest of Europe should’ve done the same. Three weeks too late, cheers for that BJ!
