Break that agreement and Superleague and Sky will pull out needing the sport to find a new sponsor pretty quickly or else many Superleague clubs may have to revert to part time Amateur status or be taken over by Canadian or US franchises in my opinion.

Plenty of ideas coming out, let's hope this crisis is over sooner rather than later.

Have Cas Furloughed the players? Would seem sensible to do so ASAP if not already.

Quite honestly l can't see the resumption of activities where large gatherings occur for many months.
Stay safe.

Who would have though there would be a new verb in existence - to furlough!

Agree with Casjunction, once initial lockdown is over, there is the second wave when restrictions are lifted a little - we need to watch China, Italy and Spain to get a view of the future. Agree, I think it may be many months of restrictions.
Feels a long time and we are only in week 1 of 3!

i am half expecting the club will ask us season ticket holders to forfeit any value left on our season tickets to help the club in its hour of need , i honestly cant see us seeing a match at Weldon road this season . i do hope i am wrong

I spent the last eight nights in Pinderfields, due to a long standing illness, I was talking to my ENT doctor, a Rhino fan ,and he recon, it's only just started, and it is going to be a very long haul, There are people walking about with the virus, but showing no ill effects whatsoever, I just found out the patient in the next bed to me had the virus, and knaw I'm worried sick

The beds were over 3m apart so they recon no one was at risk, even so they never offered to test the patients in the bay, they just shifted us has quickly as possible. The surgeon told me not to hold my breath, waiting for the restart that's if we restart this season.

Daughter works for NHS, like frankas as said. This is just the start, next 3/4 weeks we’ll see it get worse.
Take care out there, please isolate as much as possible. It’s the only way we will kill it off.

Not wishing to try to belittle you my little OCL but I don’t think they’re trying to kill it off,

I think they’re trying to slow it down to keep the nhs service manageable.

Personally, I think the majority of the globe will get the virus,

Haha just how I’ve worded it.
Yeah it’s got to be slowed down before it’s eventually under control.
We need an immunisation ASAP, not sure how long it will take to invent one.
