There has been nothing in the MSM but there has been rioting in Toulouse and other cities in France.
FNSEA the farmers Union have been demonstrating against changes to the CAP. This being France it ended in rioting, with tear gas used against the farmers.
Add that to a massive rise in Covid cases. Social distancing rules apparently being totally ignored Not a good place to travel to.

I am sure the RFL will change their mind and have a re think!!!!!

Rioting would have pretty easy to avoid. I can't imagine this was a factor.

Catalan flew in this morning. They fly home tonight. Obviously they did not serve ten days of quarantine. I question why ?
Were London to travel to Toulouse in a similar manner to how Catalan did, then our players and staff would have to quarantine on return. How can that be right?
I do wonder how much of the virus the Catalan Dragon squad bought in with them. And do not say, but they were tested. Those Lateral Flow test are not reliable.

Typical RFL one rule for their favorite team another rule for the team they do not like. Why did Wakefield not have to travel to Perpignan, Wakefield was the away team? It seems the RFL/SL like to have as many games as possible at the same venue. Why are they not doing the same for the Championship.

Steve McNamara said one of the BBC's conditions for covering the tournament this year was that it would involve double headers at one venue - to cut down on potential exposure of production crew etc. Catalans knew this when they elected to enter the competition this year.

Honestly, some of the rumours on here - it's the closest we get to being just like a real, northern RL club.

Did The BBC also stipulate Saints & Leeds Rhinos should have all cup games? To keep Macmnus & Leeds CEO Heatherington happy? they tend to be two of the loudest in Super League, neither have invested as much as David Hughes!

Always understood a Forum to be a place to debate?
