This is great news.

Means the likes of Saints, Leeds and Salford can’t blob games for their own benefit.

It means more kids will get first team experience.

It brings credibility to the competition.

Players made to lateral test an hour prior to kick off, anyone found positive misses the game and a replacement brought in. Increase the on the day squad size from 19 to 22 in case of multiple drop outs. The games must be played wherever possible.

It’s Cas I really fear for. If their players all get Covid for the 9th time each, they’ll be forfeiting games left, right and centre.

Saints will have to avoid that 2 week problem they get just after the challenge cup final but other than that they’ll be fine.

Yes forgot about Cas. They really did take the rapid flow test.

Relegation?

I'd still love to know how they caught it when they'd been in a bubble for 2 weeks.

I think Leeds were quite tactical, as were Saints when playing their Covid card.

There wasn’t much to be proud of last season but us completing all our games when it would’ve been easy enough to follow some of the other clubs lead, was certainly one thing.

Funny old game when you consider that we didn’t get much praise from the opposition fans who are so ready to jump on any sort of opportunity to put the boot in when it comes to negative Wigan stories.

I hope that clubs are also compelled to refund Season Ticket holders 1/13th of their ST price if a game is cancelled, reclaiming the money from the away side, if their actions have brought about the cancellation.

thats cos we were crap and they wanted 2 points off us

Wasn't it the year before (2020) when Saints and Leeds refused to travel to Perpignan?
