Why blame Wakey, it's out there in the general community and affecting all sports, in all walks of life.

And I thought the incubation period for the virus was around 2 weeks, the Wakefield match was ages ago, I think it was the first game back, and we've had 7 or 8 different opponents since then !!

We played Wakefield on 25th September.

Incubation period is something along the lines of 3 days to 21 days I think. They do not know for sure.

Lets just hope all players, coaching staff and support staff make a speedy recovery and hopefully they all return fighting fit as soon as possible.

Could not agree more that's the most important thing than a game of rugby. I love my rugby but strongly believe the season should have not restarted and been written off for the safety of all rl . Because let's face it the season is a farce now and will be remembered for wrong reasons .

I agree about the season possibly becoming a farce at this stage. I can see the importance financially to resuming the season but, I think its proving to be impractical now and more risky. I'm not hugely in favour of the percentage system either. I'm far from an expert but, it seems covid-19 is having much more of an impact on actual SL clubs in these recent weeks (either with appropriate measures taken by all clubs). I'm wondering from a safety point of view, should this season be postponed? Maybe all clubs can re-structure and plan for 2021. Then again its impossible to predict how covid-19 will impact rugby league and society in 2021. I wouldn't like the season to end but for me everyone's safety must be a priority.

Disappointed to read the news about Sarge and Wembley.

Meanwhile, 40 000+ dead.
Fair point, as I said, exasperation at the time.

Its all a cunning plot. Wigan and Cats having realised that if neither team loses and messes up their percentage ratio they keep Leeds out of the top 4 so they cancel the match.
You couldn't make it up, or could you?

Except Catalans need to reach a minimum of 15 games to qualify and they are already way off reaching that target. But plenty of Saints fans are reaching that conclusion as far as we are concerned :(

Saints fans keep telling everyone they're so much better than everybody else do why does it matter to them who qualifies apart from being obsessed by wigan
