Usually a clause for force majeur events.
I think we will see a ban on public gatherings within a week or so and that to remain for 2 months.

| If players are still training, and it can be done without risk to players or staff, then there's no barrier to playing games behind closed doors. But is there any benefit in actually doing so ?
Clubs need revenue that games provide, so unless there was a paid for live streaming option, then behind closed doors games don't really achieve that much (apart from maintaining player fitness levels)

You can't scrap a season. Would be a legal minefield.

But, depending on the length of any postponement period, it might be unfesible to play all the games, prior to 31 October (which is, I think, when the majority of RL players contracts would expire, unless on longer term deals). So you can't really run games if playing squads are disrupted outside the normal running of the regular season.

I was referring more to football with the Sky Sports mention. With us only being 5 games in RL would be okay but could you imagine the law suits if the PL and FA were to void English football this season.

| Quote DAG="DAG"What’s any of this drivel got to do with the future of Super League given the shut down?
More to the point, there’s people round the world dying, countries on lock down and we’re arguing and point scoring over the football.
Well in lads.'"
Super League is finished in its present guise.
Maurice Lindsey will finally get his wish and a global franchise format will rise from the ashes of this virus.. our traditional clubs will simply be at an amateur level.
No way can any current club survive 12-18 months of inactivity.

| 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.
