Just imagine, had you been born a day earlier, you could have been the new messiah, instead you turned out to be just a very naughty naughty boy.
God I’m bored

From BBC sport today
The 2021 Super League season will start on 11 March with the Grand Final set to return to Old Trafford on 9 October.
Magic Weekend will also return to Newcastle's St James' Park across the weekend of 29-30 May.
Clubs will play 13 home matches in a 27-game regular season, including the Magic Weekend, with the full fixture list released in January.

The later season start will also result in a repeat of the six-team play-off format used in the delayed 2020 season.

An early October Grand Final is also planned because of the 2021 Rugby League World Cup in England, which is scheduled to start on 23 October when England men face Samoa at St James' Park.

With the ongoing uncertainty around Covid-19, a later start date gives us a better chance of playing more games in front of fans in 2021," said Super League executive chairman Robert Elstone.

No mention of promotion/relegation, I wonder if this will remain the same?

Depends if Bradford get the 12th spot, so yes, I think there’s a good chance of no promotion or relegation at the end of 2021 season, despite the statement from Elstone.

Wonder why we are sticking with the 6 club play off format.
Assuming that all of the regular season games are completed, why reward the clubs finishing 5th and 6th ?
Mind you, if all of our stars aligned, we should certainly be trying to make 6th (or better ).

For the Premier League, all northern teams other than Liverpool/Everton aren’t allowed fans back. Quelle surprise no problems for the south though.

Probably payback for when Liverpool played that Spanish team, immediately before lockdown. It’s believed that one game caused thousands of infections when both Liverpool and Spanish fans mixed that night. Government was at fault for allowing that game to be played.

I saw a report that quashed that fake news. It compared the number of Brits returning from Spanish holidays during that period to the relatively small number of Spanish footy fans for the scouse gits game. There was a massive massive disparity.

Wasn't the Cheltenham Festival also held responsible for millions of deaths?
