A club source told Serious About Rugby League: “We are still waiting for official and definitive information concerning sports events.

“There are some new info’s as maybe we could play behind closed doors in August, depending of the evolution of the situation.”

The game in the UK remains suspended indefinitely, amid the coronavirus pandemic.
