Yeah, you're right. It's going to get even worse as the restrictions have been lifted now, so a lot of the players who don't believe in covid or vaccines will be out and about with no masks on and no social distancing and they won't be doing anything wrong by doing that.

They need to get the season completed with as many matches played as possible now crowds are allowed back. Sky seem annoyed at Super League, they're only televising one game a week now when they used to do as many as three and I think there is a limit where they can pull the funding. It must be crippling for the clubs financially as they're refunding the season ticket holders and missing out on ticket revenue and food/drink sales they could be making now. Surely the clubs could get together and agree as a competition that rather than isolating, they make close contacts train separately to the main group and test them twice daily or something like that. That's what my work is doing, probably illegal but there's a lot at stake if they keep calling games off because 7 are unavailable. My main point that clubs that can possibly get a side out should do so, even if it means losing. It looks like Saints are going to call off their next two home games, but I'd much prefer them to play them if they can.

Saints' attitude to international rugby this year has been appalling, they've refused to release players for England training camps and actively blocked any players joining the All Stars, they'd stop players playing in the World Cup if they thought it might impact them.

Cas are a miracle club, covid, injuries decimated then lazarus like full squad for wembley week, did a deal with covid then its back 4 days after. They'll name this the jungle variant of selective infections

Cas Tigers played same number of games as Wigan, Hudds and Wakey but seem to be at brunt for criticism.

I doubt very much they will pull any finding and damage the sport they've paid for for 2022 & 2023.....

SKY will get those two seasons at a much lower price, a very big saving, so no real chance they will hammer it now.....

Kick a dog whilst it's down?....... Not for me.

'Played' is a bit of stretch when 2 of those 14 games you're referring to were forfeited.

nope, 2 of those 14 games were 24-0 (one awarded to saints the other awarded to cas from hudds) so only played 1 more game the the 2 hull sides that have played the least

Played 16 out of 18 (16 out of 19 after this weekend). I recon that’s not too bad compared to some other SL sides.

Interesting that London have been docked 2 points for not fulfilling their fixture against Toulouse.

Cas is quite a unique place, with some unique variants at the best of times.

Seriously though, the mixing / commiserating after the final will have massively increased contacts, which inevitably, will increase cases/isolations.
It's true that the sport isn't wealthy enough to ask players to put their lives on hold but, as others have alluded to, Sky certainly aren't going to be happy when we keep on having games postponed and this will no doubt have a further detrimental effect on the next TV deal in just 2 years time.

Leigh next for Cas.

All be reet, with a full squad and 2 easy points !!

I’ll bet you it’s off Snowie. Postponed until we can put a team together.

Did you manage to put a team together for the C Cup final? I'm amazed why clubs can't seem to find a team to challenge the crappy Centurions. It all seems screwy to me.

Which is why I’m grad they had to travel back as losers.

Karma

Thanks for the team you put together against Salford !!!

Talk about nail in the coffin !
