Pointless guessing at this stage . It will happen when it happens is about all you can say . At least new case numbers are slowing which is the crumb of hope .

Govt make it up as they go along. Championship will survive just as a no fan digital league. L1 will be gone.

Dont quite get your logic on how the championship will survive on a no fan basis .. cant see how on earth fax could put on a match if no fans to cover all sundry costs of paying rent again . Doctors fees etc even daft costs like all the strapping that is used at any rugby club who pays for it ? They only just managed to survive on the ' crowd " numbers they were getting . Furlough and no rent has enabled survival simple as that .

Clubs have already agreed that games played behind closed doors will be streamed live on the RFL’s Our League platforms (app & website) on a pay per view basis.

Not sure that this will create the required revenue to keep clubs afloat though?
