Worst possible draw for us in my opinion. They will bring nobody with them so sadly we miss out on big gate

Dreadful draw.

Hopefully the cup gets binned to fit in the regular season.

Can we get them to forfeit the tie?

Would we get a big gate against anyone realistically?

No one really expects this game to go ahead right? Much bigger things going on than the rugby unfortunately.

Well, on the positive side, we'll be in the cup longer than we thought we would be.

When it all starts again, we will be one of the fitter teams breathing in the widnes air at training, the cats will not know what hit them onwards to the last 8

Now that the 1895 cup has been delayed as well, it’s my (uneducated) guess that the only RL games we are likely to see in 2020 will be remaining league fixtures.

Hopefully they could start in July (3 months time) and be completed in October.

I agree former chemic, the backlog of league fixtures will be more than enough without the added burden of cup ties.

I'd reckon IF and it is a fairly big IF the season resumes in a few months time the challenge cup will get played given it is already at the last 16 stage. They would have to tinker with the league structure anyway. Finishing the full fixture list for the leagues is a pipe dream.

You are probably right that this season will be written-off, with suggestions that the current measures may be in place for 18 months. If this is the case, next season will also be in doubt, particularly with some clubs going out of business with the loss of revenue. Presumably, player contracts run to the end of November and clubs will not be able to offer (or afford) new contracts if the 2021 season is in doubt.

Sky may well seek to have SL games played behind closed doors provided players are available, which could help some SL clubs other than Catalan. I guess most if not all TWP players are currently UK based.  If the Sky funding is withdrawn due to lack of games, SL clubs will also be in trouble.

Worrying times ahead for everyone. Good luck and take care everyone.

PS I bet we would have beaten Catalan and then got to the final by beating Saints and then going on to beat  TWP in the final in front of a crowd of ?????
