It's not a case of withholding bonuses for me. If they earn them they get them. You are talking about real people's lives here.

We should be looking to support the club however we can.

I think MC said cancelling a game on average costs him £60k.

I don't see why you chose to do this regarding my post it makes you look desperate. I clearly mean bonuses they can no longer earn as they are no longer playing! Would you expect your employer to pay you the overtime you might have got normally or the profit share you may have received if there is no longer any overtime or any profits? I assume even you wouldn't expect that. I have no wish to deny anybody monies they are entitled too.

Bonuses are not always perfromance related, they can be agreed contractual payments, that's why bankers and directors of loss making companies still get 'bonuses'

If it's £25 a try then thats a bonus that won't be paid.

But that isn't what you said so it wasn't clear.
As I said, you are throwing around words like redundancy and no bonuses when you have no idea of any details at all.
These are real people. Leave those kind of suggestions alone. It's not helpful and to be honest none of your business.
Talking about the club fine, but leave the individual players pay out of it.

Challenge cup attendances are on the decline . Would it be possible to play all the games at one ground over the weekend behind closed doors and ask the bbc to televise. Maybe the bbc would be prepared to share the venture with sky or alow sky to televise the event and then for the bbc to show highlights.
It might buy a little time and reduce re scheduling.

Good idea but it would be contrary to Govt advice given the numbers of people from all the clubs combined would bring to ether. Also the suspension reason was in the small print, the Govt effectively shut sport down by with drawing emergency services support (the small print included doctors who are required at games and also physios). Thats how I have read briefs.

I'd love to hear the thoughts of the players on playing bearing in mind the physicality of the game being in close contact with each other or would they use the government's guideline of 2 meters away
