Principles are another thing that Hughes can ill afford but will spend money on anyway.

| So it looks like Toulouse have 4 home games left, Dewsbury on 24th July, Halifax on 14th August, Batley on 28th August & York on 11th September. Looks like only York are at risk of having to go to France as you would expect those clubs to have double jabbed their players by end of August. I know of people that have been jabbed twice in 8 weeks. In any event test & release reduces quarantine to 5 days 1 of which is a Sunday so part time players would not be making much more of a sacrifice than they would have done going to Toronto.
The sticking point is the 7 day quarantine period arriving in France. Can't find anything on French Interior Ministry's website suggesting that will soon be lifted so York are likely to get away with it too. Makes the decision regarding Broncos even more stupid when covid was more a risk than it is now.

| With Govt looking at travel pathways to US & EU, should Halifax 14th Aug, Batley 28th Aug & York 11th Sept be preparing to travel?
The French have also waived quarantine from UK if fully vaccinated, reduced waiting time from 2nd jab to 7 days & no essential travel rules.
Players 25+ have been able to vaccinated from 8th June so 2nd jab 3rd Aug so good to go from 10th Aug. 21+ dates are 16th Jun, 11th Aug & 18th Aug. This assumes clubs have ensured their players at the earliest opportunity, which they might not to make sure they don't have to go.
Halifax would seem to be safe but Batley & York will be at risk if the returning isolation is removed for vaccinated people. Having said that, isolating 5 days on return, should not be a barrier for players participating in elite sport.
Be interesting to see what decision the Govt makes in next couple of weeks. The RFL could of course just brush it under the carpet.

| The way Super League teams are pulling out of matches, it's a complete disgrace, the way The RFL have treated us, it was tough enough to take the win awarded to Toulouse, but then how many weeks after? take 2 points off us, and make us pay Toulouse a settlement payment, is a Farce! Has it been decided, Toulouse must be promoted at all costs.
Time for someone to get Missing Posters printed, 'MISSING RALPH RIMMER' he never seems to be seen or heard!

| I certainly want to see Toulouse promoted at all cost because I want to listen to SL teams whinging about having to go to France twice a year. My gut feeling is SL & the gormless Rimmer are praying Fev turn Toulouse over this weekend.

My suspicion is that should Toulouse take the promotion place. Super League will remove promotion and relegation for this season using covid as the excuse.
Leigh would stay up, to be whipping boys for next season.

Tony Smith is calling it for to be removed this season? I am not convinced, as Leigh have proved they are not prepared for Super League, did Smith say this last season? when no team had ever been relegated with the record we had, and Huill KR were lucky to stay up themselves!
Again no sign yet of Ralph Rimmer??

| I would have thought Tony Smith would have called for relegation to be removed for season 2022. So as to save his clubs ass.

Think you are right Vic. However, can they get away with ripping of Leigh by reducing their share of the pie again? Would they say to Toulouse they get no central funding if they get promotion? They only need to pull up the drawbridge until they go back to franchising again. That is definitely the best way for the selfish & parochial SL teams to protect themselves. The game clearly isn't strong enough for P&R.
Rimmer apparently on an intensive course in how not to be a numbnut, not going very well it seems.

| Now it gets interesting with the need to quaranteen on return from France nolonger applicable from Sunday. Still think Halifax might be safe but you would expect Batley & York to have to go to Toulouse. If those clubs have not ensured their players are vaccinated, does that amount to failing to play the game & a 24 point defeat + 2 point deduction? Will the RFL just pretend nothing has changed & sweep it all under the carpet?
What with the shambles of the World Cup, how the Championship has been run this season & the unacceptable number of SL games cancelled without investigation or penalty, those that run our fine game need to be called to account.

Still feel they will go for no relegation at the end of this season, and one team promoted, no one likes seeing teams relegated, but would it be right to put Leigh through another season like this, especially if they get a lower cut of the revenue share?

The only surprise is they haven't included York in September. Fair decision for Halifax but Batley will have had enough time to vacinate their squad twice & York more so by the time the games come around. Hughes ought to kick off but doubt he will.
