| I really don't know what the RL rules are on the postponement of games but this weather has been forecast for days - not just rain and wind - much more severe. Now for clubs over here, fair enough leave it till the day but I would be a bit annoyed if I was in charge of the Catalans purse and come all this way for it to be called off at the last minute!
As some have said, there will no doubt be financial implications for Trinity too, and it's not as though we will get it back later because the crowd will still probably be low.

I would imagine the obvious problem would not be so much of a safety issue with the wind, but we don't really know that, but more a case of the playing surface being waterlogged and perhaps standing water in the low lying area's of the ground, the point is it's been postponed for a reason, and I don't think the club will be too pleased as well as the fans.
Looking on the bright side if you can put your personal disappointment to one side for a moment, it gives the club another week to get some of the injured players back for next week.

| Snowflake generation means the game is called off for no reason. Played in a lot worse than this and without the roofs too.

It wasn’t for no reason was it. It’s hardly being a snowflake wanting to take into consideration the fans safety.

| Watched the Scotland v England RU game yesterday, it absolutely siled it down all the match and the wind was horrendous,non stop throughout the eighty minutes. Kicks were been blown off course, or even at times blown back. They managed to finish the match. worst conditions i have seen since i was at Wembley '68.

I’ve been listening to both London v Whitehaven and Widnes v Batley games on radio this afternoon. Commentators at both games described wind and rain as biblical proportions, just as well they both played on artificial pitches, otherwise both games may well have been abandoned. Seems the correct decision to postpone our game by whoever made that decision.

| It's called off for safety reasons. Can't see why that is an issue to any supporter on here.
Huddersfield did the same and they have a much better ground than us.
As has the Man City game..... And they really do have a better stadium.
So I reckon its for good reason.

From what I can see literally every sporting match in the country was called off, apart from the Sheffield United game for some reason.

Indeed.
It's unbelievable that anyone can blame the club. Mind you, they're probably the same ones who would want to claim is the were hit with any flying debris or rubbish.
The pitch will have been unplayable and whilst we do seem to have "played in worse" over the years, these decisions are not taken lightly.
I'm sure that everyone, from both clubs, would much rather that the game had been played today.

| RL is part of the entertainment industry and I doubt the conditions would have produced much of a spectacle for the supporters.

| Leeds June 2016, Castleford march 2018 , Hull KR feb last year all played in worse weather. If it was safe then, then what's different? It was also dry with hardly no wind or rain from 2pm to 4:30 pm.

I assume that the game has not been rearranged for Monday.
Thought the club ought to have informed us of their 'decision'.

Not sure you getting it but the postponement appears to be out of the club's hands more specifically an inspection by the officials this morning!

The only conditions I've seen worse than at 11am this morning when it was postponed with a forecast showing worse was to come was when we played Widnes in March 2018. Sods law the best part of the day was 1500 to 1700, but that's hindsight for you.

| I listened to the Sheffield United game only 25 miles down the road and there was very little reference to the bad weather.

I was in Sheffield up to lunch time.
It absolutely banged it down at 12.00 but seemed to stop pretty quick.
Lots of flooding coming back towards the motorway though.
United are on a different Sheffield hill though.

At 11 this morning, no they weren't. Would you be so confident if your head was on the block?
