Couldn’t see any other option. Think we’d have gone overseas Pre covid.
We’ll be in recovery mode for a while yet, so think Last will be there for a while longer.

Just have a feeling (not heard anything) that some more players could leave. Wouldn’t be surprised to see some of the overseas players go back to the NRL.

This is my worry... We have a couple of players who would easily get NRL deals, so if Pearson wants to make savings, these would be quick fixes from a cashflow perspective.

Long live Club Hull.

Ratu and Kelly are two i think we can afford to lose without it making much of a difference to the team.

I think the squad we have now will also be next years squad too and id be surprised to see anyone come in. But thats maybe what the club needs at the minute.

The team will still be capable of challenging - the main factor will be the coach and what Last can do

Well the new proposed structure, starting games in August and possibly playing till Jan seems an absolute joke to me. Pearson and Hudgell wanting fans at games from October - what idiots think this rubbish up???

A lot of fans wont want to attend until a vaccine is found and why the f**k are we waiting till august? TBH Super League and the RFL are both clueless - after all this time theres still no format decided, no decision on relegation/promotion etc - just what are these numpties doing???

Hoping for an additional Government loan.
I agree its crazy to look at not starting until August if they are planning to play behind closed doors.
Must have board members full of teachers.
Personally dont have a problem with starting end of June with games open to fans.
Wear a mask,or whatever you think will protect you if it gives you the confidence to get back into sports stadiums but lets get the fans back.

The aim of each model is to restart the season on 16 August and play six rounds of matches behind closed doors, scheduling multiple games at a single venue over a day or a weekend.

The ambition is then for the majority of games to take place after 1 October in the hope of being able to play in front of crowds of limited numbers, depending on the latest social distancing rules.

Interesting to see how this works? By 1st October most clubs would still have seventeen/eighteen SL games to fit in plus the Cup.

What happens with Catalans and Toronto? Unless they base themselves in the UK they'll both be flying to and from this country evey week. How can clubs play in the UK on a Wednesday, fly to Toronto for a Saturday game then fly home and play again the following Wednesday. Ludicrous.

These are the three proposals. One - no loop fixtures, two - two loops fixtures, three - full season.

Has to be number one

Don’t most Super League contracts end 30/11/2020?

How will that work for then if the current season goes beyond that date?
