I believe that RL is more likely to be absorbed back into RU than a hybrid game to appear. And that's a big leap of the imagination, as the RFU would most likely rather see us disappear.

Most rah rah clubs have large debts which they can only service through high corporate matchday income, inflated commercial deals and rich owners (which a number of RL clubs also have).



Their top grade teams are probably no less vulnerable to collapse than ours.

No

I have feared for our sport over the last decade, even before the virus and even before rumours of a reduced TV deal.



I do think we might be seeing the end of the days for professional RL in this country as we know it. The game will survive in some form, semi pro and Amateur for the foreseeable.



So what about the top RL clubs?



Well I see Wigan, Leeds, Saints and possibly Hull being asked to move across to RU in the future. The only team I could see successfully accomplishing good crowds would be Leeds.

No, it won't happen.

The NRL is seen as the biggest and best we have to offer and yet they are playing on because they are royally screwed financially



The only reason RL is still going is because the small clubs get a vote and that is why the product is utterly dreadful.



I will be surprised if we survive this and carry on as we are.

The public of Leeds will never watch Union , that has already been proven

Who else is joining me on the never ever watching RU, even if they dress it up in cherry and white stripes bandwagon?



I'll fire off to St. Pats or somewhere instead.

Sooner watch Ashton Bears than RU.

A hybrid game is a non-starter: why would the RU authorities want or need to do that?

You make that sound like a bad thing!

No professional game will lead to no amateur game in time.
