I'm disappointed the club haven't fought this harder even if they don't get anywhere. Can't say I'm surprised though.

Jaybs et al will be along shortly to tell us it's all part of the St David of Swinton s master plan, whilst Norvunbloke will tell us to ignore it as it's in the past.
As someone else mused recently.....is Hughes in some sort of Brewster's millions scenario?

How can the RFL use the word integrity in any way shape or form in how the run the game. I do not know of any other league in any sport in the world where you get penalised more for just being a full time outfit.
Imagine the football conference deducting points from full time teams and not part time teams due to regulations set out for covid.

That might explain why they didn't go for a temple shot.

Maybe Hughes should have argued that we are such an amateurish run club we may be full time but not professional so rule doesn't apply.

Good for them, it should have been cancelled months ago. If it goes ahead now they will look even sillier, if that's possible.

The RFL are now in one big mess! The USA have offered to take one place, but the line up will be so weak, and people who have bought tickets did so on major teams mainly taking part. Also we do not have a clue how as the summer ends what stage we will be with COVID?

Interesting article in a major sports magazine yesterday, asking why are so many RL games being cancelled, but this did not happen with union, and they kept the ruck and scrums?

All we can hope for is that by February next year, we may be in a better position or clearer on the Pandemic

Catalan are working night and day to get TV coverage for their home game for Castleford this weekend, unbelievable they have been paying £15,000 per game to be covered in France, and add to that how much the private jet has cost, I would love to see them win The Grand Final!
