POR Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Only Barrow, Bradford, Dewsbury and Leigh have confirmed their entry to the competition, with Batley and the two London clubs still undecided The prize money came from a Super League handout, by way of compensation for the removal of promotion and relegation caused by the cancellation of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. so no competition probably take it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan S Taylor Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 The Rovers are not entering the competition. As a season ticket holder I received communication from from club asking me if I wanted a refund, discount on tickets next season or just donate the ticket back to the club. A sorry and sad state of affairs but perfectly understandable in the present situation. The club has a responsibility to its staff, supporters and visiting supporters and it is the only decision the club can reasonably make. Good luck to all at Rovers and all other clubs in the future. Will be there next season routing for the club. Up the Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RFL decided to try to run this competition, quite independent of any SL input. On that basis I fail to see how SL could "take it back".
