Dewsbury Rams head coach Lee Greenwood sees sense in RFL delaying decision on Championship restart
DEWSBURY RAMS head coach Lee Greenwood feels that the Rugby Football League have done the right thing by waiting to make a decision on whether or not the Championship campaign will restart in 2020.
The governing body are set to decide next week on the potential resumption and whether or not promotion to Super League will occur in 2020.
Super League is due to restart on August 2, with the RFL wanting to deliver clarity on the Championship and League One campaigns before that date.
“They are leaving it as long as they can and they are absolutely doing the right thing by leaving it as long as possible,” said Greenwood, who signed a renewed two-year deal with Dewsbury last week.
Greenwood insists the second-tier can’t resume behind closed doors and continued: “They can’t make a decision to say we will return on a certain date because we need crowds at our level.
“There is no sign of anyone saying that gatherings in professional sport will be allowed yet.
“So they can’t really say yes right now but you don’t want them to say they are cancelling the season and then suddenly say we are allowed crowds.
“They are absolutely doing the right thing. They are making the final call on it next week, which is about right.
“It is not their fault, we are governed by the virus and what the Government allow us to do.”
