WELL WELL

Technically Catalan should adhere to the guidance from both the French and British governments - I'm not sure how they differ. People will still need to isolate when they have been in contact with positive cases if they haven't been double jabbed for two weeks, that number is decreasing obviously, but that requirement is still in place, I'd imagine plenty of SL players are still to be double jabbed.

I don't know what the guidelines are from Super League, but to my knowledge they have not come forward to tell us how things are / if things are changing in relation to the recent changes in govt guidelines. Smacks of poor leadership - not that I'm surprised.

We should change our sport to football then Covid wouldn't affect our sport.

It's very strange how the entire Football league, over 50 fixtures a week, have zero problems, yet week after week, many of the 6 fixtures in Super league are called off.

It doesn't make any sense.

No major problems with the cricket either

Sky aren`t televising the Leeds v Huddersfield game.

It must have cost them a lot with their wasted effort at the HJ, so hard to blame them.

This is the first time Catalans have cancelled a game tho , hardly picking and choosing are they.

It's bloody annoying I've been looking forward to this game all week. The rfl must just drop the ability to postpone games, and it's a 24 0 win to the side able to play. I'm sure less games will be called off but it will still happen for sure.

We can bemoan the rfl but the clubs should be putting more stringent protocols in place to protect from covid infections they also have an obligation to fulfill fixtures too.

Nope.

Talking of magic weekend no way will any of them games be cancelled.

Until Joe is out!

To be fair to the Catalans, the four essential staff, are the two pilots, the translator, and Bernard Gwash.

I've already explained that there was a football league game called off because of COVID last weekend.

France has a mixture of races, so not racist.

Well I know one race that we would all be better off without in this country.

The pointless one for top spot in Super League.

What does that mean mate?

Means people are clocking on to what’s going on. Stay safe...

Wasn't my intention to be xenophobic, apologies folks for my misguided, lazy comment.

I thought (like somebody mentioned) The ruling to postpone a game was to have 7 players confirmed to have Covid?
If this is the case then i assume we would be able to mount a case for a 24-0 win, seeing as it is just 4 Essential staff.
I hope we do ask for this or the rules would basically be nullified if it is just a straight postponement.

No its you being either completely uniformed or having a really high opinion of Castleford (the only game they've not played this year up to now). They've played 18 games to your 16 and this is the first game they've called off, hardly limping over the line is it. I agree it needs looking at as to why it was called off so late and did they meet the protocols but making up stuff to make a point is pretty weak.

Don’t know exactly what the rules are for essential staff but if it happens to be the team doctor and physio it’s becomes a health and safety issue which I presume would override any rules for Covid.
To be fair in the cold light of day after match being called off at short notice, Catalans have played 18 games and this is their first time to call off.

I quite enjoyed the magic weekend repeat 8yrs ago of us hammering Stains.How time flies.

No doubt that will rekindle some redvee vitriol.

I think we only beat them by 26 points because of Thaler, the RFL and Trent Waterhouse feigning injury everytime Howarth came hurtling towards our line.

Since "project restart" happened in the Premier League in June 2020, there have been FIVE HUNDRED games played, yet I can only recall a handful (certainly no more than 10) of games being postponed. That's a miniscule percentage.
Compare this to the amount of SL games played, and the amount cancelled ( I don't have the figures, but I'd wager the percentage of SL games cancelled is SUBSTANTIALLY more than PL football).
Why is this?
Both operate around a similar training squad amount, and PL sides operate with a huge day-to-day support/ key staff, compared to SL.
Are RL players more susceptible to Covid than their footballing counterparts, or are SL's parameters for game cancellation so wide, you can drive a bus through them?

Either way, the more this happens, the dafter the sport looks.

Yep, thoroughly enjoyed the Wire performance, especially Moz's last ditch try.......

.....BUT......

....it also reminded what complete ends of bells that Eddie and Stevo were! We complain about the current commentating team but these guys were so much worse. Compared to Aussie commentators they are barely amateurs.......the Korupt FM of the commentating world!
