I assume you are being playful, they don't even know where the games are being played or if the rules are being amended.... this is the RFL we are talking about!

No.
3 teams will be playing games which should have been played on their "home" ground. The other 3 teams will be playing an "away" fixture.
If that's too hard to understand, then so be it.

All of the occupations you mention, have all done pretty ok during covid, with exception to mobile hair dressers that don’t have premises. The amount of money been thrown about by the government and the holiday breaks giving on mortgages etc, I can’t see how the majority of people up to this point can be that much worst off, even the spongers have been getting extra money for doing exactly what they was doing before lockdown. And if your stupid enough to spend your money that you’ve saved from not paying your mortgage, well!! What can you say, your an idiot. IF people can be sensible coming out of lockdown, and don’t cause a major 2nd wave, I don’t think things will be as bad as people are suggesting, I’m preparing for tax hikes, but that’s got to be expected I guess. Disappointing how long the RFL have taken to get super league back up and running, lazy, like a lot of other people and companies

Ps the mortgage holiday bit wasn’t aimed at you

I agree to an extent, some people on UC aren't spongers, but I did find it odd that there was an automatic increase. And I definitely agree about those taking payment holidays when they didn't need to are idiots, even more so that they have got used to spending it. The RFL still haven't confirmed anything other than three fixtures will be played, no idea where, the Grand Final will be 'sometime in November, somewhere', SL2021 will start late, but no date given... it is a shambles, especially when they were, if we are to believe them, intending to be the first sport back on TV.

Snooker, Tennis, Cricket, Football, have all beaten us to it.

Looking at the TV and other media coverage of Brighton and Bournemouth I fear that a second wave is inevitable, there are more redundancies on the way. I hope I am wrong, but I think things will get worse (economically) before they get better.

Embarrassing ain’t it, I still don’t see how the rugby couldn’t of started 2 months ago, if players, family’s, staff was all isolating for at least 2 weeks, then only interacting with other clubs, where was the risk? No doubt they’ll be an economical fall out, but honestly think the majority will come through this eventually, although I am expecting some bargains in the car show rooms and auctions, no doubt the rich will get richer and the rest of us will end up paying for it. I hope we don’t have a 2nd wave, because no way the government will be so generous, it will be everyone for themselves and bedlam

Not read all the threads but has anyone heard about Mally Walker taking over FC or becoming a partner and AP taking more of a back seat?

Yes I've heard from a good source that this is happening. We are also set to sign Brett Kimmorley.

The government gave the green light to allow competitive sport less than a month ago.

Yeh I know, 1st of June, what do the government know about sport, the rfl should of been knocking down the door saying, we’ve been doing x y and z, we are good to go safely. Just to lazy to negative for me. Just my opinion of course. Anyway hopefully pick some football fans up, surely must of realised it’s one the most boring sports going now!
