Shudds will be OK for proceeding with the home league fixture v Toronto then?

NRL to be played behind closed doors. Why can't we . All matches to be streamed .

Mainly because this will go on for months, not weeks. We have a dozen home matches left (plus 1 shared cup gate at least), every one played behind closed doors costs us an average of 60K (MC’s figures). How long do you think we’d last?

Streaming would pay us nothing. The only option would be hoping Sky paying extra to show all games but the chances of them shelling out much more than they already do would be very slim. Postponing would be bad enough but the hope would be we could survive the break and then recoup the costs at the restart. Cancelling likely would finish us and many clubs off.

And thats without considering the players here. It’s a close contact sport, they are very susceptible to the virus spreading quickly between themselves should just one player catch it. Postponement is the only real option.

60K a game behind closed doors.

Postpone until June. Cancel Ashes series. Push the end of season back until December.

That's all I can think of.

I’ve just had a look on the UK virus area checker for the Wakefield area. There are no reported cases. The good folks around here must be doing something right.

You’ve been self isolating for ever DS you tight bugger

Confirmed the first case today.

Yes, I’ve just had a look at W Express twitter page. Doesn’t say which district, sad, but it was bound to happen. As a 72 year old I guess it’s fingers crossed for me and the wife, and the rest of the grey brigade.

I've been grey since my mid twenties

If anyone runs out of bog roll, heard Cas are having a sale on their jersey’s in their club shop.

Let's face it, the season is done.

Catalans will not be able to participate. Toronto will never get to play a game in Toronto. Public gatherings will be banned.

Enjoy the Cas game this afternoon and see you next February (hopefully).

Our friends in Union are considering a full 12 week break to their season.
This seems a bit more realistic then footballs premier league but, even 12 weeks doesn't seem long enough for this thing to be clear.

Who'd have bet Toronto would survive they're first season in super league
