The statement did infer that 3rd April we will hear what the RFL/SL have in mind for the future of the 2020 season.
I do hope that they can replicate today's statement by the soccer authorities that they intend completing the season's fixtures to maintain the competition's integrity.
We would then be able to enjoy the rest of the season.

I think they will personally and we will end up with a shortened pre season. Just hope the ashes survives

The football season is nearing its end our season is only just started.

Boris' statement last night has snuffed out the last hope there was of anything being played for at least the next 3 weeks - probably until June at the earliest.

RFL and superleague are meeting today so I think we'll get some further information by tomorrow at the latest.

Hopefully, the latest firmer restrictions will do the trick in ‘breaking the back of the virus’ in around 12 weeks. However, I have heard from an old acquaintance, who shall we say is well connected, that the Government were advised to indicate that time scale on purpose due to psychological reasons. The human mind will accept three months as reasonable and easy to digest. In reality, the Government are working on a much longer period of time but do not wish to say so at this stage. In practice, we will get 12 weeks down the line and then the Government will simply extend it. I sincerely hope my old friend’s tale is off the mark or we could end up with a bigger problem than currently envisaged.

I would be happy to wager that there will be no sport in April. Or May. And unlikely in June.

I’d say toward end of June early July at the very earliest for any sport

We’ll have a clearer picture in 3 weeks IMO. It all depends on the infection and death rate then, if it’s still climbing I wouldn’t expect any sport to resume until August/September at the earliest. If it’s fallen we’re looking at June/July.

As long as people aren’t idiots and follow the guidance we’ll be alright.

Reports that the NRL won’t play the 2020 season if they haven’t restarted by Sept

Makes sense to be honest. It’s a road the RFL & SL may go down too. It’ll wreak havoc with contracts though, especially those with clauses in such as Jackson Hastings. I’d imagine he’s looking for a route home given the current climate and to be totally honest I can’t say I blame him or I’d hold it against him.
