Thanks mate, I had seen it but didn't read it properly. I thought they were referring to the player concerned not the full side.

Scroll down and they are still advertising tickets

and the rfl say we face sanctions.
clowns

It's also reported that those who don't drive,or own their car, will be safe from CAR OWNER VIRUS!!

Whatever you do, don't give up your day job.

I'm getting bombarded with adverts from NOW TV offering me a 3 month deal when they know they won't be showing anything. They will probably make it impossible to claim a refund. Watch out folks here come the scams.

Ridiculous. Leeds don’t want to risk their players and their families, yet the RFL want to punish them. Morons.

What are the RFL babbling on about? Sanctions? There's a pandemic for godsake.

I have no faith that they can manage the game through the coming disruption.

We might face sanctions, I suspect the RFL faces bankruptcy.

A Cronulla player has just been tested positive and the NRL are in the same predicament. There are going to be a lot of financial bubbles bursting in the next few weeks/months.

"The consequences of this decision on the match, and any sanction, will be determined by the RFL Board"

I'm guessing they will come back with nothing. If they come back with a sanction, then we can all whine about how poop they are. Until then, untwist your underoos

Why even mention sanctions in the statement? Ridiculous in the circumstances, what a collections of clowns.

Do we think there are lower level clubs who are sufficiently hand to mouth that the loss of home crowd income could see them fold?

Im hearing Football has just postponed until April

Will League follow ??

I can pretty much guarantee someone would have brought it up if they didn't

"they cant make the decision to cancel a match on gameday, who do they think they are, grumble grumble murmur murmer"

Will clubs have insurance that could help with the financial ramifications of stopping games?

How many clubs rely on home gates to fund their clubs? Season passes are all paid for, SL money all issued to the clubs etc.

That's what I'm wondering. Personally I don't care about SL clubs, I'm more thinking of your Coventry and West Wales etc.

All of them I assume, particularly those who own their own stadia and make money from match day kiosk sales / hospitality / corporate. Clubs also get money for being on TV.

That said, maybe when you take off season tickets some clubs actually run match day at a loss. . . .

Also - if there are no games on SKY, do we still get the contract paid? What are the ramifications?

Hopefully we will only be talking about a deferral ratehr than loss of income anyway and the season carries on - maybe it will be the Ashes that gets canned to create room to extend the season which whilst not exactly awful for SL clubs would be DISASTEROUS for the RFL.

Is it not offset by clubs not having to run matchdays? I'm guessing stewards won't get paid, kiosk and corporate staff etc?

Hopefully any clubs at risk can claim compensation from the government.

Is that the Chinese government?
