Lucky Leeds how much revenue will they get for hosting these fixtures, we know they need help to fund their new stadium. Will Sky really care if no supporters are there, as long as their sat dishes are selling. At least the Hull supporters won’t get drenched at the uncovered end.
Think houghton will be brilliant with the new set restart rule, expecting big things from shaul to, plenty of broken field, hopefully our boys have been working on fitness

In the current situation ask anyone in R/L which ground would have been the first to be chosen by the RFL and it would have been Headingley. No conspiracy just fact. Understand Huddersfield applied to host games even though they dont own the ground.
It's SL not the RFL who chose the grounds. And as is well known the SL administration isn't particularly close to Leeds.
FWIW League Express reported, yes, that the stadia needed to have appropriate infection-mitigation controls including multiple, separate sets of changing rooms, that the host clubs only cover their costs on these games and that the real incentive to apply, apart perhaps from some residual home-ground advantage, is to give exposure to their naming and in-ground sponsors.
