Without cash coming in some teams could go to the wall

I knew this summer rugby move (1996) would not last. LOL

Shedding debt before reforming, Bradford stylee

I am not in the information loop regarding the financial standing of super league clubs. What is for certain scores of businesses and individuals in the entertainment industry will go bust. One would assume that would apply to super league clubs. Sadly I think this disaster is only just underway.

I'm not going to watch anymore disaster films

Are you still in philly, or back in good old Blighty?

My favourite is the original version of the Poseidon Adventure. Brilliant cast.

A cast that includes, Leslie Nielson of Naked Gun and Airplane fame, the scenes with him are incredibly difficult to watch without thinking its a spoof

Agreed, he's the Captain I think? Each time I watch it, and its not often, I do expect him to give a stupid one liner and a wink or suchlike to the camera.

Great movie.

Anyway, it's not really sunk in that the RL has been suspended, Ive been totally preoccupied with saving my business

But thought about it today, I know there is obviously far far more important things than a game of Rugby but those few hours at the end of the week were my biggest escapism from the reality of things, now that's gone

Gene Hackman doesn't even say Mass.

I've been back in Blighty since July 2018 .Sadly I got bereaved and I could have stayed there but for the health system there .If I haven't changed my profile thi g I get on with it.Thanks for asking

Nah Poseidon Adventure is just way over the top acting, it's annoying. I'm more of a Towering Inferno kinda guy - actually my fave is "Dante's Peak".

Currently watching "The Rain" on Netflix if anyone wants something topical.

Whatever the Govt announces over the next couple of weeks will determine whether the game survives short term or not. By that, I mean there will always be a game in my view, but clubs may need to mothball and players and staff lose their jobs for a while unless action is taken.

Things are going to get a bit crazy out there in civvy street everyone, hold on to your hats.

Check out the messiah on Netflix. Very enjoyable.

Regarding the game and fixtures, I don’t think the game can afford to lose the c cup or any fixtures.

I think they should be
Looking at extending the season to say December or even later if needed. The test series v Aus will need scrapping.

If the fixtures restarted with the c cup it could help reinvigorate the comp as everyone will be desperate to see some football.
2021 would have to start a bit later with a short off-season but the game needs every penny it can get.

Leeds have a few full games on their Youtube channel including the full sky coverage of the 72-0 Leeds victory over Saints in 2004, what a great couple of hours watch that was, amazing to see how much the ground has changed!

I actually missed going to that game for some reason or other, the atmosphere sounded incredible!

I was there! Happy days indeed.

Saints were really lucky we didn't put 100 on them that night, Darren Albert saved 2 McGuire tries with a couple of great tackles

Yep I remember that game clearly too, one of the best ever.

We need to be realistic here regarding the virus outbreak. There might have been a chance to stamp it out early but that's now long gone. We're going to see thousands infected in the UK, with possibly further waves of outbreak to come, as soon as suppression is lifted.

There are probably well over 100k people infected in the UK right now, we just haven't seen the cases hit the hospitals yet.

Don't expect this to go away any time soon. I'm personally just praying that we might see some normality within 3-6 months, even if there's another shutdown beyond that.

There are plenty of sites of interest to gentlemen on the internet. Pull yourself together

What are these Gentlemen's sites of interest you mention?

Well it's half time at Headingley and the atmosphere is a little quiet. Let's hope the second half gives us something to shout about

Watching the 2007 game they uploaded last night, what a game that was, 22,000 on that night
