Really pi$$ed off. Was looking forward to a Sunday afternoon fixture for the first time in close on 2 years.
I really don’t think it has anything to do with Covid. Just a convenient excuse. You’ll find it’s 2 positive tests and lo and behold a number of close contacts.
Hull just didn’t fancy it, like Saints didn’t fancy it after the cup final preferring a pi$$ up and rest and we didn’t fancy it after having to let a number of players out on loan to facilitate George Williams signing. We’d never missed a game citing covid up to then.
Don’t know about Sky getting fed up, the fans including myself are getting fed up. I’ve supported this club since 6 years old (48 years) and I’ve had enough. The game itself is boring and the product dross.
This sport is definitely in trouble with these guys we have running it from the RFL and Super League.

Well that's another fine mess

I thought Tez 'n' Baz were on Sky

Is the system not open for abuse by each individual club though? Who is there to clarify these close contacts of the positive players?

Can’t help but think there’s far too much leeway and if a club has enough key man out through a positive test, then what’s stopping them using it to their advantage and calling the game off?

This system that has been adopted in Super League rewards teams for not playing and it’s far too easy and convenient for a team to not play, rather than play and lose.

Any integrity and credibility is out the window.

How on earth can one advocate still holding Magic Weekend, especially in it’s current form too?

You’ve literally got teams playing each other three times, while other clubs have barely played each other once due to postponements.

Given the uncertainty on teams being able to fulfil fixtures moving forward, Magic Weekend should either be scrapped and have it as a catch up weekend, or at least have the fixtures tweaked to try and balance the fixtures out slightly.

Just shows what Sky thinks of League apart from being a stocking filler.
They don’t even have the Union in the normal season but have dedicated a channel to the Lions for the past 4 weeks.
Currently watching the third test and I can confirm that if the Saints/Dragons game was boring I don’t know how you’d describe the last 3 Saturday evenings.
God South Africa are a boring Rugby Union side.

Is there any credit left by winning SL like this?...
I think it’s just a token result for whoever wins it.
I don’t believe a win is the monkey off our back.
Got to the point I’m wishing the season was over again. It’s like, what’s the point of it? Who cares?

The best result from it might be if Catalan won, it’ll give the game much needed exposure and a great boost with Toulouse.

Does this mean we get a 24 nil walkover or will it be rescheduled ?

It’ll likely not get played. FC are a dab hand at playing the system.

Liam Watts summed up what’s going on...... for those who’ll listen......

Apart from this they have a fair few first teamers missing I believe, so for me if this does get rescheduled it should be with only the squad that was originally available before the COVID card was played
