Another wow of a brawl was a lancs cup game away at saints on a Wednesday night I think 2 from each team were sent off and some spent time in sin bin at various times in the game..and we won as well

The thing was in the brawls it was rare that anyone actually got full on “lamped”, usually other players were there fast enough to ensure it didn’t happen.I’ve never been sure why Cullen didn’t get lambasted for play acting following his miraculous recovery in “that” game. I really enjoyed watching that sort of stuff as a youngster, I suspect I was a younger version of the old dear who used to attack wrestlers with her brolly at televised wrestling events in the “old” days.

Some other brawls that come to mind.

An earlier Bradford one (not the 2000 all in brawl), probably around 1996 or 97, if I remember rightly the brawl happened on the opposite side of the pitch to Richard Henare so he just got hold of the nearest Bradford player (Glen Tomlinson?) and started punching him.

First game of the season against Wigan in 2001, Toa had been sent off and there was some needle going on, Nutley and Nikau were looking to start on people and there were fights every few minutes. I think Kidwell got sin binned, Nikau ended up getting sent off. The one I remember here was Dave Highton who had just come out of the Academy but was getting stuck right in to David Furner who was a pretty hard nut from Australia.

https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... 9-outbreak So I am genuinely stumped by this 5 days ago they were supposed to play us but now cleared to start training again. Then they will be tested today and tomorrow and the game against Salford will go ahead (unless they don’t train well) But joking aside how is this possible after 5 days.

God knows, full on Joke this as the game won't even be re-arranged as there's only 7 weeks of the season left. If we had to play all the games we missed we would suddenly have a very heavy schedule at the worst time.
Lesser of 2 evils i would rather just not play them as the squad has had alot of rest with the games we've missed and we're looking healthy. So touch wood we can now just crack on with the rest of the games this season, get some form and game fitness and hit the ground running.

All these other sports haven’t had anywhere near the same level of disruption as what rugby league have had though.

The Government guidance has recently changed, therefore Catalans and rugby league should be adhering to them like everyone else is supposed to.

Super League and those making the decisions have made it far too easy from the off for teams to not fulfil their fixtures and in many ways it’s better for them to not play than to play and lose given the ridiculous format that’s in place.

They’ve made a rod for their own back and for the sake of the game and it’s future they need to clear it up and get rid of these protocols and loopholes in order to give teams every incentive to fulfil their fixtures as this just isn’t sustainable for all concerned.

It’s beyond me how anyone can even consider how Magic Weekend is a good idea given the fact we’ve probably only had one full weekend of fixtures in almost three months. Add to that all the unfulfilled fixtures and the lopsided look to the fixtures, it makes it an even bigger farce how it’s going ahead in its current form and that fixtures aren’t being tweaked at the very least.

I see a big cricket test match was cancelled at two hours' notice because of Covid today. Whereas the Magic Weekend was pretty successful all things considered.

Shocking, not even 7 members or playing staff. Hope England are awarded a 24-0 win...
