1230.gif “You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

| Health is more important than games, so whilst Covid restrictions are in place, it is fair for any game that is postponed because of Covid isn't a loss.
Anybody who thinks that games were called off for tactical reasons (when clubs lose money by not playing) is kidding themselves.

| Clubs have squads of 30 players so whats the problem? Close contacts dont have to isolate anymore so as long as you have 17 players out of 30 who dont have Covid, no reason to postpone.
The 48-0 idea is a great one and will stop those clubs from last season who had 2 positive tests (their 2 best players) looking for a postponement.

Quote: ChampagneSuperRovers "Hull KR not being able to fulfill the fixture list to that extentwas largely down to 3 successive opposition in May/June I think it was pulling out. We hadn't played a game for about 6 weeks at one point, before succumbing to covid problems ourselves. We also played an away fixture at Catalans which in the end didn't have to be played, so wheres the angst against Rovers come from here? Or did you just look at last year's table and assume?!! Are you forgetting your beloved Saints conveniently pulled out the fixture a week after the Challenge Cup?
Cas I get as your point but I don't particularly get why you've highlighted Leeds either.'"
nope was KR

cas played 3 more games than saints and 2 less than Leeds so cant see where Saddeneds' point against those teams come from!

| I think there was only two clubs who didn’t call off games from their end last year.

I think Leigh actually went a month without a game due to other clubs systematically using what was in force.

They do if they're not vaccinated.
