should have done it last year, would have made it a far different season and stopped teams exploiting it

This is great news.

Means the likes of Saints, Leeds and Salford can’t blob games for their own benefit.

It means more kids will get first team experience.

It brings credibility to the competition.

Players made to lateral test an hour prior to kick off, anyone found positive misses the game and a replacement brought in. Increase the on the day squad size from 19 to 22 in case of multiple drop outs. The games must be played wherever possible.

It’s Cas I really fear for. If their players all get Covid for the 9th time each, they’ll be forfeiting games left, right and centre.

Saints will have to avoid that 2 week problem they get just after the challenge cup final but other than that they’ll be fine.

Yes forgot about Cas. They really did take the rapid flow test.

Relegation?

I'm pretty sure that Leeds only payed 1 SL fixture less than Wigan in 2021?
Correct me though if I am wrong Sweaty Betty unless you have a clear agenda here?

The Rhinos then rearranged games that were originally cancelled due to covid that we could possibly full fill ?

I reckon that Saints, Catalans, Warrington, Hull KR, Tigers, Hull FC, Salford and Leigh all played less SL games than Leeds Rhinos

Funny how you didn't mention the majority of those clubs that missed more games than Leeds Rhinos?

I'd still love to know how they caught it when they'd been in a bubble for 2 weeks.

You are right mate, I apologise for my error.

I think Leeds were quite tactical, as were Saints when playing their Covid card.

There wasn’t much to be proud of last season but us completing all our games when it would’ve been easy enough to follow some of the other clubs lead, was certainly one thing.

Funny old game when you consider that we didn’t get much praise from the opposition fans who are so ready to jump on any sort of opportunity to put the boot in when it comes to negative Wigan stories.

I hope that clubs are also compelled to refund Season Ticket holders 1/13th of their ST price if a game is cancelled, reclaiming the money from the away side, if their actions have brought about the cancellation.

thats cos we were crap and they wanted 2 points off us

Wasn't it the year before (2020) when Saints and Leeds refused to travel to Perpignan?

I think Leeds can just about get away with their refusal to travel.

Saints refused to travel pure and simply because a defeat would mean they had no chance of the League Leaders Shield regardless of the Wigan result .

4 of the first 6 Home games are televised why buy season ticket?

Maybe to support your team and support the sport of rugby league?

Hundreds of takeaway/dfast food outlets open 24hrs a day 7 days a week
Why bother cooking ?

INOUT

To get out of the house, get some fresh air, support your team, experience the atmosphere, see the game properly, not just the camera man's view.

Agreed. Also the following (to the OP) :

Socialise with friends and family.
Experience a bit of normality.
To support 'your' club and sport financially through its most difficult period in modern times win or lose. The alternative is a poorer place.


That's why.

Ditto from me.
Although, do we know whether (& when) we're getting physical cards this year or is it going to be eTickets again?

Latics got cards

When are they sending them out though?
