Must admit, that was my thought too.

Can't see there being any RL played this season in the UK. None of the worldwide health experts know what will happen when we all start 'mingling' together again in public, will the virus (if/when it does relapse) just return in the same way as it evolved. I'm just a screenprinter, but that is my uneducated guess anyway.

I agree.
At the moment it's all about the virus, although parts of China are starting to allow people to move around a little and I guess we will learn from their actions.
There will be major, major difficulties when the league does finally re start as travel to Toronto and France are still likely to be restricted and in Toronto's case, assuming that SL can continue this year, the local climate will go against them.
Their only chance will be to play their home games in the UK, which starves them of any income completely.

Once initial lockdown periods end, not just here but around the world, restrictions will be lifted gradually. They definitely won't just start allowing freedom of movement and thousands of people gathering at sporting events straight away. Once a few more things start opening again, any issues with the virus will us back in lockdown. That's before we even get to a potential second spike next winter. Anyone expecting this rugby league season to resume is living in fantasyland.

Living in fantasy land DM? They say I’m just a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.

Remember last week when that young 21 year old girl was plastered all over the press as being the youngest victim of this awful disease and had no underlying health conditions? Well it turns out she actually had a heart attack, was rushed to hospital and sadly died there. She was listed as dying from Coronavirus because her family mentioned to the hospital she had a sore throat. No test for Coronavirus was undertaken. With this is mind, how accurate are the stated figures for deaths that are 100% caused by Coronavirus?

Before Tommy threatens the police on me (LMAO), it was the guardian that has brought this to light

But quite bizarrely a young 21 year old no underlying health conditions, not been treated by any doctor dies suddenly.

Yet there is no autopsy to establish cause of death is the concerning thing.

They are talking about this lockdown going on until at least june so no sport before july at the earliest i'd imagine when you take into account a few weeks training for what will effectively be a new pre season

quite simply, they keep getting asked "how long..." by the same journalists over, and over, and over, and over.... they don't feel they can say "we don'tknow" as certain parts of the media will crucify them, so they have to keep saying "it might be x, or y, or z". A huge part of the problem is that the a huge percentage of tne people of London (and other big cities) seem to be struggling with the concept of social distancing. As you say, unlikely to see anything before July, at the earliest, IF we see [ianything[/i this year it would mean a lot bigger challenges have been faced, and beaten.

I hope clubs can be proactive here ,and try to plan for the 2021 season, and hopefully survive this cruel situation we are in.

If there is any club Rugby League played in this country in 2020, I'll eat my proverbial hat.

So with Leeds games in hand and superior points difference will they be crowned as champions ?

No

A double whammy if your a united fan as well
