I feel as though many sporting organizations were waiting to see what others did.

With the Premier League calling off games, I expect everyone else to do so.

Whether you agree or not, the scenes over the next few days will show the regard the Queen was held in by the wider British public. If RL continues when all others don't, it'd be a terrible look for the sport.

The game at Catalan will be difficult to move and may well go ahead as it's in France. The Huddersfield v Salford game could be moved to Sunday, as the St Leger race day is at Doncaster.

I agree that it would be a "terrible look" for the sport and when I first read karetaker's OP I thought it was a fair question.

No matter what your 'persuasion', as 100% Wire says we (the game) are on a tight schedule ahead of the World Cup and whilst I wouldn't anticipate the nation to be in full mourning 'for ever', there is it seems a Royal protocol that will be observed and the timings of these State Events will dictate the mood and inform who can do what when

I did ask (politely) to refrain from this kind of posting as it's irrelevant to the topic and RL.

If you want to give everyone your opinion and great insight on the Monarchy and the State of the Nation take it to The Sin Bin

The games are on

Re: Rest of the comp. : Fri Sep 09, 2022 12:56 pm  

I'm hoping the games go ahead due to the tight schedule. I'm sure the RL players & fans can show their feelings prior to the game. I had great respect for the Queen but don't think the sporting world and other activities should have to stop for any length of time. Rugby Union & Soccer have less of a problem to re-jig postponed games. Cricket has similar problems to RL.

I suppose there really is some wriggle room if necessary . Nothing would be lost by running the World Cup & GF playoffs & final in tandem for the length of time any disruption would last. The eventual WC winner will no doubt be from the southern hemisphere anyway.

On the Royal front ,despite what anyone thinks about the Monarchy , the Queen has done an excellent job in her 70 year reign being a valuable ambassador for & bringing prestige to the UK. RIP Your Majesty.

It would good if our politicians off all sides now took a lesson from the Queen & started to work together for the good of the country instead of themselves.

Why, how do you think it looks now

And if you are only accepting pro monarchy comments on the thread then you should tag the thread title as such so that posters will be aware of it.
