They are based in Perpignan and under lockdown, I believe. Plus, flights are cancelled, it makes them playing games again any time soon even more unlikely. At least the other eleven Super League sides are currently all based in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven of our sides are based here at present, so any future change to the current situation could see the game resume in some way (the Chinese Basketball League is re-starting behind closed doors), Catalans’ location makes this difficult, a bit like the Warriors situation in the NRL, though by ‘luck’ (depending on your view) they’re currently in Australia so games can continue for now. This is ultimately a discussion to be thought about at a later date but there are, likely, a lot of things needed for Catalans to be able to resume playing in Super League.

Tonka Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 They’re really no different to the rest of us, good chance the whole season will be scrapped. But let’s just see how it pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that UK will be relieved of restrictions sooner than France? European borders will open before any such competition restarts.

ATLANTISMAN Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I have been following everything here over the last few days my personal opinion is that yes the next few months are going to be tough however RUGBY LEAGUE will come out of this stronger if everyone sticks together. Lets ALL make next years World Cup the best attended ever:) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
