Halifax game : Fri Mar 13, 2020 8:17 pm  

I have to admit that Halifax is my least favourite Championship away game. Although originally not planning go, I have arranged to do so.
I am now concerned that the game will be called off because of the COVID 19 virus. I feel pretty sure that the RFL will come under pressure to close the game down for at least a few weeks.
If they are going to suspend the league, I hope that the decision is made quickly, so that we are not left in limbo. Decisiveness is not one of the RFLs strengths.
So who knows.

Not sure its anything to do with decisiveness think it's more to do with reacting to govt advice. Remember many many years ago, whole country ground to a halt because of Dianna thing, all sports were cancelled apart from rugby league, we played Bradford at the stoop.
So as a sport showd we tend to take the approach of don't panic and carry on.
Saying that reckon this weeks rounds will go ahead and then that will be it for a few weeks off especially after Leeds' decision on catalans game this week.

Looks like public gatherings from next weekend gonna be restricted.
Presents a dilemma for London if they restrict it to 1000. Like the French, reckon Sheffield game we are looking at 800 max.
Be interesting how they eventually recover the season after this has run its course

With the football it is not government that has shut it down. It is the football authorities themselves. Okay there are football teams like Arsenal who have players in isolation, so that makes it more pressing for them.
The Rugby League authorities need to decide soon and make an announcement. Do not leave people hanging.

Yeah and football shut down because a few players and staff in high profile teams apparently tested positive so those teams decided not to play. The FA reacted to that.
In my view the RFL are doing the right thing, acting on current govt advice.

Think by now most of us just accept you are wrong as a matter of course whether the game was to be played or not.

Like I say as it's not happening we will never know will we?
Try chilling out people you should be able to spot a tongue in cheek comment by now, there are enough of em on here.
