Its of little importance when compared with the loss of life of course but the spread of coronavirus is likely to have a devastating impact on rugby league.
Its difficult to predict what might happen over the coming weeks and months but I think there's a high likelihood of all sports events being either cancelled or played behind closed doors for anywhere between a 4-16 week period. Whilst Premier League clubs for example have the finances to withstand something like that, it could easily send rugby league clubs in this country into financial meltdown.
In terms of the integrity of the competition (putting finances aside), RL is probably the only sport out there where a mass cancellation of fixtures would make the competition fairer as you could simply throw out the loop fixtures.
