See Bradford Bulls visit to Toulouse on 18th June has been cancelled, with COVID, with no date possible for it to be fitted in??

Bit premature as Macron is supposed to be making an announcement on 6th & curfew due to be reduced from 9th. But is anyone surprised?

No surprise this afternoon, The RFL announce the clubs who applied to be in The Academy League, had all been allowed in, except Leigh?

A matter of ho shouts loudest again, none more so that Bradford, and it's owner!

France has just rekaxed its regulations for uk visitors, but, france is still amber so any squad returning need to quarentine.
Likr it or not, it does make it unworkable for part time squads.

To any sane person, sending a full or part time sports team into a country where on return you have to isolate, is utter madness.
The RFL really are a joke in the way they are dealing with this issue.

Back to your usual rubbish I see. What part time jobs do these part timers have then?

I think that he is unable to play rugby whilst training to be a fire fighter.

DC dont really get what yr on about, but obviously you need it to be put in simple terms. Part time rugby league players also generally have full time jobs as well
Eg they make main income not from RL so fully get why a lot would not want or be able to quarentine on return.
If that in yr mind is rubbish, fine.

Interesting. The championship was deemed to be "elite sport" in lockdown thus enabling behind closed doors games. I don't know how the RFL determined that the championship should be elite but in football the test that was applied was that playing football is the main job topped up by something else. And there in lays the problem. An elite team would not have to worry about its players not being able to do their subsidiary job for a few days after playing in France. If as NB suggests RL is the subsidiary work you can't really describe the championship as elite sport?
