That might be the answer: play behind closed doors for 100K a game. Show every game. Sky need to show something!!
Except squads will keep on going into temporary isolation, causing mayhem.
The answer might be a three month suspension, scrap the Challenge Cup and Ashes, and play until the end of November. Start next year a little later, to allow a pre-season and recovery, and slowly bring it earlier each year, so after, say 5 years, we are back to the beginning of February.

It is highly unlikely sky will pay anymore, it is more of a worry that they turn round and say as per current contract, no content, no pay. Their sports revenues will be down remember as people not under contract cancel subscriptions for the duration pretty much all sport is under lockdown. Adam Pearson said in an interview yesterday that financially playing behind closed doors just isn’t an option and the latest thoughts are that this could last until July at the earliest. I shudder to think what will be left of the game at that point.
