Right decision but absoutely zero chance of getting games on by April 3rd.
Its goin to be months rather than weeks. Who knows what impact this will have on the sport.

Superleague sides need the income let alone Champ and L1 sides. Woorying times ahead i fear

I knew this move to summer rugby (1996) would not last. LOL

I think we will be taking at least May before we get games so maybe lose 6-7 weeks. Will be tough to make it up

just under 10 weeks to Magic, but in the grand scheme of things, it is only a hobby.

It's all the fault of James Child...

Scrap the loop fixtures and job done.

Doubt clubs will like losing the income from 3 home games though

No relegation so good news for Toronto !

ore likely James Rule...................

In the Super League’s position, I’d do the following:
We’re going to need to plan for a shorter season. That much is blatantly obvious.
Firstly, scrap the Challenge Cup. No club relies on income from this competition for survival (every year, some clubs go out of the cup after one away game, so it provides no income).
Secondly, curtail this season by removing loop fixtures. Draft a new fixture list that takes into account the games played so far and then comprises of finishing the season at the point all teams have played each other at home and away (so 22 games in total).
All clubs will lose three home games. However, ALL gate receipts from ALL games should be divided equally amongst the 12 clubs so that this does not disproportionality impact on some clubs. The few richer clubs with higher attendance might squeal a bit. But they need to realise that if this doesn’t happen, we’ll be left with only a handful of clubs and they will have nobody to play against. We also need to split the gate receipts from any play-off series and the grand final between all 12 clubs.

That could be mitigated by dividing all gate receipts for the rest of the season between the twelve clubs. Including ticket sales from any play-off games and the Grand Final.

I remember when your club played Saints at home in the cup, on TV and it was almost packed out(I nearly said a sell out) yet the attendance was given out at somewhere in the region of five and a half thousand, I wondered at the time it that helped pay for Zak Hardaker's transfer.

Maybe they deducted the St Helens supporters who left at half time?
Joking aside, I didn’t think gate receipts were split until the semi-final stage, but I could be wrong on that one.
It wouldn’t be difficult for the RFL to assume responsibility for all ticket sales if they think this could be an issue. They already sell tickets for other games so they have the platform to do it. They could even set up e-tickets for those who choose to attend on the day, they don’t need to go through the associated costs of printing and posting tickets.

For my plan to work, games would need to start again in early June to get to a grand final for the correct date. This would also mean a top four play-off with just two semi-finals before the Grand Final (as before, 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd).
As you say though, we don’t know what’s ahead.
