End the season. Award sintellins the grand final and CC because they'd probably win it anyway. Reintroduce relegation and relegate Catalans. Re-admit toronto with severe restrictions. 75% of all income needs to be divvied up amongst the rest of the super league and they start each season -10 points. Make it 11 a side, with 27 minute halfs.

I mean, the season is already a total farce isn't it?

Can Castleford play Catalan (or Hull KR) this week to reduce fixture congestion further down the line?

This will happen again you would think, and if a team is going to miss two weeks of fixtures there will be an incredible backlog unless we can apply some flexibility to scheduling.

That would be a sensible move but we are talking about the rfl

All Salford players and staff are now in quarantine. Sensible move by the club.

Under the guidelines, information that could identify anyone testing positive shouldn't be released. Pearson has clearly broken that confidentiality and could be in hot water.

You may be correct but think him making the statement promptly shouldn't be punished and can't see it troubling any prosecution tbh.
He's given his opinion with the facts we dont have access to yet so il take his word.
The truth will be found either way

Unless he had permission from the player (and his partner) he's broken pretty strict rules on the confidentiality of medical information covered by not only the sport's protocols but privacy laws. I suspect he was trying to prove his players hadn't been behaving irresponsibly without stopping to think about the consequences of doing so.

Surely people need to know who has tested positive in case anybody has been near to them? If I'd been in a restaurant with any Hull player over the weekend then I'd like to know if any of them were the ones who had tested positive as I would then need to isolate and get tested myself.

That’s not how track and trace works, the establishment should contact you stating you may have been in contact and should be tested and isolate for 10 days, they cannot identify to you who was the person who has tested positive to a 3rd party

Salford need not worry too much, we hardly put a hand on them!

Seriously, just cancel the season, no relegation so no point risking lives and livelihoods.

Not risking livelihoods by ending the season now? Who's going to pay the players for the rest of the year if they don't play another game? Livelihoods will be under a bigger threat at that point wouldn't they?
