With regards to Wigan, you only need to see which players they've signed in the last few years, they've mostly been former players who have come back from the NRL.
That shows there's not a lot about and money is tight.

On last nights showing I can’t see where gildart and Hastings will fit in at the west tigers

See the points Castleford lost to St Helens due to covid, they got them back from Shudds due to covid. A team could get relegated, make the top 6, even win the league without fulfilling their fixtures. What incentive does this send out to teams trying to do the right thing.

It is nothing to do with Covid,in fact that was the reason the games were awarded to the opposition because they did not reach the threshold required to postpone.

Before anyone had ever heard of covid when was the last game to be called off because a club didn't have enough players to fulfil a fixture.

Wasn't it Bradford due to a players strike or something? We got to play the touring Aussies the next season in their place. Or did I dream all that?
