would be the sensible thing to do given the short turnround

wouldnt be a surprise to see it called off and HKR Warrington could also be called off

Certainly looks that way which means that should the derby go ahead Rovers wouldn't have played for a month and only twice in eight weeks.

If the Leigh game and the derby are postponed I don't see how we can fit all the games in. The clear weakness in the points percentage system is the unlevel playing field of fixtures. Much better to have Catalans away not played than Leigh at home.

Don’t think it can be cancelled this late, can it?

It can, for example Warrington are announcing tomorrow if their game against Rovers on Sunday can go ahead.

Wimbledon won't put the start time back for the final

Nor should we for the sake of 25 leigh players and staff ( who will still of got back in time for kick off even at 3pm )

They'll be a hell of a lot more English people at Wimbledon from further afield then 2 and a bit hours

It's only ninety minutes for God's sake. Just be thankful we can attend games again.

Bowden, think he was fit to play.

People who work Sundays or youth rugby has no chance now cause of this "90 minutes" especially to announce the change 3 days before kick off



All for what a football match 3 hours later

Were a professional sport apparently

If Wimbledon go's 5 sets that could still be playing after 7pm atleast

Wonder if they'd stop play to watch the game.... Yeah course they would

There's a few rumours circulating that tomorrows game will be called off . Nothing official yet !

Its off, covid bites again.

The league this year is a total lottery.

If the derby is also postponed we'd have fourteen games to fit into eight weeks.

Cancellations against the bottom 2 teams in SL which we would have expected to win and increase our win %.

It's getting to a stage where it's going to be impossible to fit these fixtures in to a later date. It gives some teams a massive advantage and makes a mockery of the league table but I can't see anyway around it unless the World Cup is cancelled (which is looking increasingly likely) and the SL season is extended.

What a er.

Didn't think it was the greatest idea booking a train and hotel for Giants a week on Thursday (22nd).
Was looking forward to a restrictionless first away game in yonks.
Wouldnt be surprised if it also gets scratched
This season looks like its gonna go to pot again.
NRL got all sorts of problems as well by the sounds of it.

The World Cup has to be cancelled.

The RFL have at least got some big stadiums booked so they could hold a delayed Grand Final

Anfield on Saturday 13th November
Emirates Saturday 20th
Old Trafford Saturday 27th

We need strawberries Wiz, plenty of them, the secret ingredient to keep the covid away.

It's also a massive concern that the number of cases are rising exponentially and will explode after "freedom day." The government scientists are predicting daily cases of over 100k in peak summer with potentially 2 million having to isolate. They are planning herd immunity but you won't hear them using that term.

Yours

The harbinger of doom.

Well PHE have used the term this last week stating that 89% of the people are likely to have antibodies present in their system which they say means herd immunity is almost achieved

Surprised PHE called it out for what it is but I was suggesting that no government minister has used the term. Anyway the point I was trying to raise is that due to the predicted rise in infections it's inevitable that more games are going to be postponed. It's a complete disaster for the sport.

They will have to extend the season

Controversial i know but maybe we should now stop testing players.
Given most of them have no symptoms it should be only the ones who feel ill that are tested and removed from the team.
We have to live with this and herd immunity is almost achieved.

Surely that's got to happen, or the season might be doomed. Championship & League One teams seem to be doing okay (or the testing procedure is far less stringent) but my team Leigh have a very small squad, but have yet to be affected by Covid.

That's what happens when people have the jab and you use tests that are designed not to detect infection but to detect virtually anything and gives a false positive because there is no infection. The second test is PCR which is the problem a much as testing with LF or Antigen as none of them detect infection/
Even the manufactirers stated it would give influenza like symptoms and Grant Schapps said quite clearly on BBC the other day that double jabbed will get 'covid'™ massively more than unjabbed/
All very predictable and the 19th July is yet another hoax 'freedom' day, but the footy will still go ahead because they know that to call that off would cause a riot, you can bank on it that the football players will be showing positives if they were testing under the same protocols and same CT of PCR, but they aren't because that would end in the aforementioned riot for calling the game off.
That's even before you get to how easy it is to fake a negative if you are a fan.



This will carry on and on and on, the sport like other businesses will be shut down and even more collapse of small business and sporting clubs will follow, more jabs, more tests more lockdown (that is utterly futile) more jabs, more tests, more lockdown, rinse and repeat until you've achieved what you needed to.
