A very in-depth and informative message, in my opinion. https://leighrl.co.uk/wp/v2/blog/2020/0 ... -covid-19/

Agreed, this is a very well structured letter.
I have an LCTV year round account already and can highly recommend it as there are already many, many past games to watch, as well as the other stuff mentioned in the letter.
Stay healthy my fellow Leythers.

The majority of the country is continuing to work unless the fall under the virus criteria whereby they shouldn’t - what’s the difference with the players, Derek says they’re being paid

Going to be difficult times even ignoring the bigger picture. The fact is in all likelyhood this season is over, some players will have played their last games for clubs and some players will probably have played their last games of rugby league. The financial ramifications of what is happening does not bare thinking about for most clubs and a lot of players will go unpaid without any government of governing body intervention. Its hard to even imagine what format the 2021 season will look like and what will be the make of the teams.

So no other RL teams are training other than us

I cannot find in the initial RFL statement or the updated statement from the last few days where is says Championship and League 1 teams should not train. It does reference all “community” club level training etc is suspended but not Champ and League 1 training.
Do you have anything to prove that players have been told they must train or not get paid Monty or is that your belief ?
