Fixtures out today? : Wed Jul 08, 2020 6:32 am  

The vast majority of games to be played as double and triple headers on saturdays and sundays.

Probably saves SKY production costs? Catalans to play at home on saturdays in conjunction with the double headers.

I make this that we could have six games a weekend on TV. Also there are hopes that crowds will be allowed back before the mini season ends.

The whole of this mini season will be played behind closed doors.
Fingers crossed that fans will return next season 2021

No one knows how the situation will play out as yet none of the fans or the players.

"No Super League fixtures today. Unforeseen complications have pushed it back again. Unlikely to be tomorrow either."

Delays coming?

Taken from TRL site today

Super League fixtures will not be released today.

Complications have resulted in competition officials from pushing back the release of the fixtures ahead of the competition’s restart.

Fixtures aren’t expected on Thursday either as work continues to finalise the fixtures.

Club officials met on Wednesday to discuss pay cut disputes running rife through Super League. It’s unclear whether the ongoing uncertainty has played a part in the decision to push back the date on fixtures being released.

The only fixtures known are those that will welcome back the season on August 2nd.

Hull KR will take on Toronto, St Helens will play Catalans and Leeds will play Huddersfield.

I think this delay is due to the implications on player wages being cut. According to TotalRL only 3 of the 12 clubs have agreed to pay cut revisions with their players.

It’s now 6 teams and hopes it will be all 12 before the day is out
