If there's a salary cap issue with playing some 19s they'll have to 'loan' some amateur players, after all there's no safety issue as amateur teams are allowed in the Challenge Cup.

There isn't even a pre-requisite to field 13 players, that isn't a reason to postpone a game, the sports own rules make that clear.
If you allow a side to continue to play with 5 players by the definition of the laws of the sport then only having 12 players to take to the field is not a reason to postpone. It's that simple.

You realise the M62 disruption that day effected both sides, don't you?

And it wasn't four players, it was nine.

Slightly different situation.

Poor effort Zoddy. 1/10

I have no doubt the RTA affected both sides but the fact is the ENTIRE Bulls team arrived in time for the kick off. The accident happened at 4.45.pm. The original kick off was scheduled for 8.00 pm and the RFL were prepared a 9.00 pm if needed. Yes, the situation was different but I am equally as sure that any local under 19 player COULD easily have been drafted in if needed before the kick off. I believe the Bulls could have considered claiming the points but remember the Bulls coach at the time dismissing the idea. Always best to check details before posting.

You're absolutely right. Pearson should call Koukash right now and tell them that we'll postpone until 3pm Sunday, as happened then. I'm sure having Wayne Godwin back will make all the difference to them.

Any excuse to have a pop. You must be so proud.

And yes the situation was different, as you acknowledge. So it's irrelevant to the discussion here.

When Hull postponed their game against Bradford ? a couple of season's ago because although the visitors arrived at the KC whereas three or four out of town Hull players failed to arrive due to an accident on the M62, could their opponents have claimed the points?
And what exactly stopped Hull from playing members of their under 19's on that occasion.

Hull had 9 players stranded according to Sporting Life, a bit more than 3 or 4.
