UK rugby league website Total RL is reporting that the club has already held talks about relocating to England for the 2021 Superleague season.
The ongoing Covid pandemic seems to be causing the competition (which is already being delayed) to consider how to accommodate our club.
Last season we ninja'd in and out of the UK by flying there and back same day.
The cost of that on the club has been seen by the number of players released and as yet not replaced, whilst physically the travel meant the team just ran out of legs in the semi final at St Helens.
Whilst my preferred option would be to play our home matches at home, so-called big clubs like Leeds refused to fulfil away matches in Perpignan last season so it looks like a precedent has been set there.
Here is the article in full for you to have a read and form your opinion.
I would expect the rest of Super league to fully compensate us for our losses from accommodation and home revenues, especially if English grounds open at some point this year.
