I just caught the back end of a news bulletin on the radio yesterday afternoon and just heard "Superleague and Championship seasons have been terminated with immediate effect" and thought WTF ????

Turns out it was referring to Women's Football

Original question, what if ?
Well look @ the Hull fc problem now, 6 players tested positive, now them & Salford face more testing & closure for 2 weeks, problems are
When will others show symptoms, have/had any other teams used the same dressing rooms that day & if so when will symptoms show.
Will officials be affected being near when talking to players etc.
How many games will be postponed & will they never play them ? Will other teams loose points, then what about cup games as time weeks
run on ?
This could be farcical yet ! But I hope not for the good of the game !

I've just seen this news and wondered what effect it would have on the rest of the season.

I think they will have to cancel season - salford and hull will not be able to play for 14 days at least - and any teams that used same dressing sheds etc will be affected . its a sad world

Read on the VT that we used different changing rooms to Hull FC/Salford/Leeds/Saints. So we might be fine, but our game could still be affected if either Leeds or Saints get a positive result.

We used the same pitch though a lot of shedding of the virus could have taken place prior to our game

There were positive tests in the Premier League and they simple asked the players concerned to self isolate. Nothing happened to the league.

The worrying thing here is that we've had only one full round of games and you would expect that controls and adhering to the protocol would be at it's highest and yet there are a number of positive tests.
They need to establish quickly just where the virus was picked up.
Was it during the game, practice or, one or more players ignoring the protocol.

Has to be said this is not great for the sport though and lets just hope that a few players were "unlucky".

I've seen a few "not great for the sport" comments.

If that means it's not great because it might affect how we play and how the league pans out then absolutely it isn't.
If that means that the sports profile is damaged then I don't agree as football and rugby union have both had positive tests before us.
