"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround."

An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.

There must be some doubts about the Saints v Hull KR game as Saints don't seem to be selling tickets for it. The sport appears to be in complete crisis and they need to get on a Zoom call and decide what they are going to do in order to ensure the competition is completed properly and that every game that possibly can be played is. Asking the players to go into Australia style bubbles and isolate to minimise cases would seem to be common sense.



Asking (some) players on 20-30k to basically put their life on hold ? RL in oz is their main sport and the players are minted, similar to football players here, RL players in the UK, which is a minority sport ain't going to agree to that especially as stuff opens up, summer holidays etc.

Though I agree the game is in big trouble because of covid. For me they need to look at the contact side of things and stick to testing rather than isolating.

Yeah, you're right. It's going to get even worse as the restrictions have been lifted now, so a lot of the players who don't believe in covid or vaccines will be out and about with no masks on and no social distancing and they won't be doing anything wrong by doing that.

They need to get the season completed with as many matches played as possible now crowds are allowed back. Sky seem annoyed at Super League, they're only televising one game a week now when they used to do as many as three and I think there is a limit where they can pull the funding. It must be crippling for the clubs financially as they're refunding the season ticket holders and missing out on ticket revenue and food/drink sales they could be making now. Surely the clubs could get together and agree as a competition that rather than isolating, they make close contacts train separately to the main group and test them twice daily or something like that. That's what my work is doing, probably illegal but there's a lot at stake if they keep calling games off because 7 are unavailable. My main point that clubs that can possibly get a side out should do so, even if it means losing. It looks like Saints are going to call off their next two home games, but I'd much prefer them to play them if they can.

The England players were rested by Wane. Not sure if we didn't release any for the All Stars, but I doubt many of ours bar Grace and Paasi would get in that team anyway.


Saints' attitude to international rugby this year has been appalling, they've refused to release players for England training camps and actively blocked any players joining the All Stars, they'd stop players playing in the World Cup if they thought it might impact them.

I doubt very much they will pull any finding and damage the sport they've paid for for 2022 & 2023.....

SKY will get those two seasons at a much lower price, a very big saving, so no real chance they will hammer it now.....

Kick a dog whilst it's down?....... Not for me.

'Played' is a bit of stretch when 2 of those 14 games you're referring to were forfeited.

Interesting that London have been docked 2 points for not fulfilling their fixture against Toulouse.
