| It's going to be very difficult for a lot of businesses and sport will be hit hard.
But there will be a world after coronavirus and if there's a market for rugby league there will be a market for a professional game. There will still be stadiums and players who know how to play rugby league.
There may be fewer clubs though as some may go out of business, and then be restarted as amateur teams by long standing fans wanting to keep the name alive.
The sport would be more vulnerable to the whims of a large scale investor - so if someone with money wanted to come with a big new idea and merge clubs that could be back on the agenda. We might have seen the last Warrington Wolves game and could be watching the Wire-Widnes Cheshire Cats in 2022.
Then when Saints fans say what have you ever won apart from the Challenge Cup we can say, World Champions 1989 so have some of that.

| Going back to the 60s, the legendary film This Sporting Life is on Talking Pictures tv channel this Saturday about 9pm.
A kitchen sink drama, that British cinema was excellent at, about Rugby League .

| I've not seen that one for a long while. Richard Harris and Wakefield Trinity, from memory. I don't think there's any Wire references in the film, but it was a while ago when I saw it.

That's a good enough reason to watch BBC.
