I don’t think we will see the return of any sport this season. Death rates are doubling daily with no actual clear indication of how we’re going to beat this thing nor any meaningful testing being carried out.
I’d expect SL2020 to be scrapped in the coming months followed by the Premiership and Football League (something which as a long suffering Liverpool fan hurts!).
There’s bigger things than sport at the minute and I just can’t see it being resumed until 2021 when a vaccine or proper preventative treatment is potentially available.
I do think that they'll play this season out if at all possible,they can play to xmas easily enough,curtail next season to give the player a month off in January,pre season feb for a late feb, begin of march start to next season.
Whenever it returns, this year or next, the whole sport of RL needs to come together. Pack out the stadiums and grounds. Home and away. From SL down to the North West amateur leagues. Get some much needed income back into our sport and clubs. Get RL back with an almighty bang!
Scrap the play-offs, magic weekend and internationals for 2020. That buys around 2-3 months. Season ends end of November. Next season starts on 1 March, scrapping WCC and magic weekend to cut two weeks from the season.
We need if poss to get the season back on track in any format we can.People are forgetting if we don't there will be no Sky money for the clubs and on top of that we have to sort a new contract in the not two distant future.
It's difficult to envisage RL restarting any time before the end of June, and that's taking a very optimistic view. Until the goal posts are, as it were, fixed, then were only playing a guessing game. Under what sort of attendance restrictions these initial fixtures will take place, is also very much up in the air.

People still have season tickets. Clubs reduce ticket prices, promotions etc. Yes people will be stretched, I have no doubt but I can safely bet my bottom dollar that when the pubs/clubs/restaurants re open they will be absolutely rammed. Your logic doesn’t stand up I’m afraid.

The CC might fall victim but I think you’re right that Magic will go. I think we can safely say the Ashes will be scrapped. I can’t see the play offs being so though, they are a huge money maker for the clubs.
