Probably because your wallet was in your jacket pocket whilst trying to straighten up.

Just been watching some of our players doing their training routines on the Twitter. I would imagine we have a fully fit squad other than joe A. If the season is up and running before the end of the end of May, given the size of SL squads, it should be feasible to play 2 games a week. Full program on Wednesday nights, 3 games Saturday, 3 games Sunday.This would provide Sky sports plenty of choice. The 6 teams playing on Saturday will play Sunday the following week, to ensure fairness to all clubs. To avoid fatigue to players, no player can play more than 2 consecutive games, (the good coaches will know how to rotate his players) The obvious fly in the ointment is Challenge cup, and part time players in the lower leagues.
I’m well aware that many on here are better game planners than me, and there’s plenty of holes to pick in this idea. Just have a think, and someone might have the ideal solution. I’m just desperate to see live rugby league again.

Looks like “the season up and running before end of May” might have been a bit optimistic, today’s news of self containment for possibly six months, would certainly put paid to the season restarting. Feel for all those that will lose jobs, kids losing education, god knows how many will lose loved ones, I know this is a sport we love, but it’s now beginning to pale into insignificance compared to the effect of this, so called China virus.

Re: Just an idea : Thu May 07, 2020 8:56 am  

Just thought I’d throw up another idea, as nothing else happening at the moment. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that games will have to be played behind closed doors, MC saying on Forty20, about streaming costing about £20,000. Would not really be cost effective. He used the example of 5,000. Fans paying £5.= £25,000. Vat £5,000, so there’s nothing left. If we had 6 games streamed over Saturday and Sunday at one venue, Streaming cost of £40,000. For 2days dividend by 12 clubs = less than. £3.400.
I’m sure the 12 clubs between them, can muster say 100,000 viewers paying £10. =£1,000,000. For the good of the game, divided equally that’s over £83,000 per club.
I’m sure some on this forum will be able to pick large holes in this idea, but it’s just an idea to start a discussion, perhaps it’s just rubbish, perhaps it can be developed into something that could work. My opening post weeks ago on this thread has since been suggested by others involved in the our sport. We all need to work together for our rugby league sport to survive.

Thank you
