I do wonder about how (if) Catalan can get through 2020. They are also facing the prospect of increased costs, if all games are to be played in the UK, with no gate receipts. I don't know if special consideration has been made in the way that the Sky money will be distributed.

Toronto may not be the only club who will fail to complete the 2020 season.

... It's ok, I knew exactly what you meant, but I have a terrible thing where alarms go off if I see stuff like that - my therapist has his work cut out with me, I'm afraid...

The cynic in me says, if Toronto had more money than Croesus, and the team that couldn't complete their season were one of the unfashionable ones (say a HKR or Wakefield), would they(HKR or Wakefield) be treated the same way, and relegation scrapped.
I think not.
Disgrace

Spot on. Toronto had issues before COVID not paying suppliers, players wages not being paid on time etc etc, end of day there Asti b sanctions you can’t just pull up sticks and say see you in 2021. Sounds like a Butlins holiday hi-de-hi campers.

I feel sympathy for Toronto. Like I feel sympathy for everyone who has gone bust or struggled because of this virus. Being in Super League was always going to be a financial challenge & the latest problems have proved too much. My main concern is the that Sky might now reduce their input with less games now being shown on TV.

Or add other games instead, well i hope so
I'm in full Vulture mode at the minute looking at what scraps we can have, I'd love Brad Singleton but a cheaper possibility would be Gadwin Springer for the rest of the season. His last game he was dominating with massive tackles and aggressive runs. Could be a good oportunity to boost our forwards for the year
BUT with us signing Latu and bringing Widdop in this year and looking at our squad we more than likely don't have any room under the cap now anyway. Unless a dispensation rule comes in to affect to help Players find a club to keep them getting paid etc ?

Dom's powers of prediction are legendary, of course.

So we lose 2 points as Toronto are removed from 2020. That must mean another team will definitely be joining us in SL I thought we may run with 11 and teams getting a by against them. If they do decide to run with 11 we should get those points back.

How exactly are you working that out?

Anybody who has played Toronto has that result removed from its record. Nobody else is going to play them. Everybody then will have played 20 games come season's end - it's that simple.

Not sure how you believe we should then get those points back?

i dunno, i wish the memory of that match could be expunged from my brain, bloody awful night.

Correct. All of Toronto's results for 2020 will be expunged from the record meaning that we have played 6, won 3, lost 3. The season will now be 20 games with the top 4 playing off in a straight knock out (Semi Final / Grand Final).

Toronto had played, and lost, 6 games (Warrington, Leeds, Wigan, Castleford, Saints and Salford). The other clubs, who hadn't yet played Toronto, would have had the advantage of an extra week off except that all, apart from Hull FC and KR, have got fixtures to catch up.

Boot em out its embarrassing get Leigh or Widnes back in the top flight at least they'll fill the away more than Toronto will av...when crowds are allowed are back in of course
