Think some of the smaller clubs are possibly in a better position, depends on how the part time contracts work, if they only pay players when they play then the player wage bill is zero. Other outgoings will place some burden but Bulls for example dont even have odsal to worry about anymore.
Let's see eh and hope for the best

I get the sense a few clubs in our league and below may go. How sustainable are the Bulls, Swinton, Oldham, Rochdale.......


Some of those clubs may be ok. If they rent stadiums and training facilities when needed, that out going is on hold. It is likely some of those clubs have a fair chunk of pay to pay players so that expense is on hold and they haven't lost revenue from function rooms, bars etc. as they rent stadia and probably don't get that money anyway.

I think the big risk to them would be if any benefactor has to pull future funding due to issues with companies they own meaning they have less spare cash to blow on sport.

I think there's a real risk to some of the bigger clubs who own their own ground, and bank a lot of money from non match day facility hire etc. Usually diversification would be a strong point however, in this strange world, it's suddenly s vulnerability

Not a lot own there own grounds though.
It's interesting, team like huddersfield, they must have contracts in place for them to pay for stadium rent, even if they are not using it would not imagine that's been wiped off.
Teams that do own there own facilities have running costs of those facilities.
Do we reckon Saints players are happy on 2 and half grand a month or expecting top up from benefactor.
Salford will still be paying there bit for the stadium, kougash not there to pay that.
Pro teams with players on furlough still need to find the money to pay those on furlough then get it back, what's the staff numbers at Leeds about 150 total I think, that's a big bill to pay with no income.

Be interesting to see in all pro sports what the view of govt is on letting them go to playing behind closed doors, its something football are talking about already at higher levels.

The Premier League have rowed back a bit tonight, telling their teams behind closed doors games will only be permitted once they are able to test everyone in the stadium before the game.

There is an interesting debate that could be had, Tom lineham is only player I have heard of that has contracted the virus and that was from his partner who is NHS frontline.
Any NRL RFL premier league football players! Emphasise players! reported as having contracted the virus.
NRL and AFL continued in aus longer than most, yet no reports of any transmission in the closest of contact sports.
Down to overall fitness levels? Thoughts.

Maybe you should go find out who owns the John Smiths Stadium....

Yep 20% by giants, so they have at least 20% of the costs to keep it running. Plus whatever kirklees council want for the input to the other 40%

James Cunningham contracted it too. Took him 4 weeks to shake off the effects.

Still interesting 2 (that we know of) out of quite a large number of players, assuming let's say a squad size of 25. That's 300 in SL. Not seen any reports on Aus Rugby League press.
Hopefully numbers have reached the peak and start declining
