Is that a question?
Not sure why you are asking me, i am a fan of the game, i cant control who runs it or finances it.
I didnt suggest that NRL running SL would be better or worse, only that wothout a sky tv deal it might well happen

Getting back onto the subject, Toulouse. France is expected to be put on the Red List this week. Therefore travel for the team to France will not happen.

should move over to uk...play games in brighton /Bristol or far away from the north...let em travel!!

Plymouth's Home Park would be better or if the RFL want to keep the North American embers glowing how about Montreal?

No it's not the Govt have said France isn't going on the red list.

France back in lockdown.....either toulouse move to the uk for the next few months or their season is over in terms of the championship 2021.

Been trying to find the rules on elite sport teams in france and travel, even if as second tier they are classed as elite

Nobody allowed to travel more than 10kms. Union has taken their euro finals away from mille and in lockdown 2 in france all team sports stopped.

The travel 10k ban like anything has lots of exemptions. Without the details cant assume anything yet.
Previous lockdown in france elite sport was allowed to continue. Lets see what they decide

With just over 2 weeks to go to the game, the RFL need to make a decision NOW! Things can only get worse not better in that short space of time. If we are the only team expected to travel to France, Hughes should refuse & very publicly too.

Are they not locking down the whole of France from Saturday for a month?

From what I'm reading its not entirely clear. Some French sources seem to be saying that but others only some Departments so guess we won't know for sure until it happens. Is it too much to expect the RFL have a plan B?

But in any event if we do have to travel, we would likely return Sunday & isolate for 5 days. That will give us 1 day training as a group before the Oldham game which seems totally bizarre to me.

WQ as i say lockdown has lots of exemptions, we have had no cancellations where i am from any french clients, they can still travel freely as they did in the last lockdown

Give it up NB there is no way the game will be played in France. No matter how hard you wish.

macron...about 2 hours ago

What areas of France are off-limits?

From Saturday, April 3, the partial lockdown introduced in March will be extended across all of France.

The restrictions will remain in effect for four weeks and if they succeed could come to an end on May 2.
