Have accusations been made?
Other than by me on Twitter, no.
But it's really blatant that clubs are making efforts to get games postponed rather than trying their best to get them played. Cas haven't really even hidden it, taking a walkover rather than playing. Hull and Warrington both could have played but didn't as a choice because the rules allow it.
They're just reacting to the number of games clubs are postponing. If clubs continue to postpone any match they are entitled to by the rules the competition is severely devalued and we get closer to a point where Sky have the option to pull the funding.
It's their own fault for setting the rules as they are. It should always have been a points deduction rather than postponement after the first covid outbreak at each club. Other wise there is no incentive at all to take protocols seriously. It's been very telling this week that Cas have admitted their players have taken it seriously so that they're not ruled out of playing at Wembley. Why not be that thorough throughout?
