I think it's a difficult decision for some clubs weighing up what sort of a competition is likely to ensue and whether the financial rewards, as well as the chance for fans and players to get involved with rugby league again, are worth bringing squads back into training, testing, and the possible injuries close to the start of pre-season training for 2021.

sentoffagain2 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Its not a difficult decision at all to anyone with common sense.Scrap this season now and everyone will know where they stand.Don't expect unlimited crowds for the start of next season although 25/30% of capacity will be OK for us.With costs involved and some areas at risk i can't understand teams wanting to take part in a Hybrid competition of very limited value.

Not sure how you can say that unless you know all the factors involved - when furlough will be withdrawn, how the prize money will be divided out with fewer teams entering, what the likely prospects are of being able to get spectators into the ground later on this year, whether playing games in the autumn might put teams in prime position for recruitment (including players likely to be released from SL teams, or to give players trial time) etc etc. Not to mention we still don't seem to have had a decision on what's happening with SL next year - Toronto allowed to carry on, running with 11 teams, or something else? If it were not a difficult decision I think we would have seen every club already pull out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Only reason most teams have not pulled out is because they wish to offer members somethingiIe Game rather than have to refund money.Although i would estimate over 80% of clubs members would not ask for a refund subject to their financial position.Just my opinion as you know i am never slow to state my point.

I think those points are probably true. I do think the decision to pull out of the Challenge Cup was definitely an easy one. It won't surprise me if this autumn comp ends up being abandoned but think it's probably a more complex decision for some clubs than others.
