It's been a testing year for sport as clubs and organisations across the sporting industry struggle in the wake of coronavirus restrictions.

Earlier today, the government announced a rescue package of £300m of emergency funding for sports impacted by the absence of spectators because of Covid-19.

Rugby league was amongst the sports to receive funding, which you can read more about here.

Not a huge surprise this one. The 2021 World Club Challenge will be moved to take place later in the year than usual.

The meeting of the Super League and National Rugby League champions usually takes place in late February or early March.

The impact of Covid-19, however, has meant the fixture will be pushed back in the calendar.

Sydney Roosters beat St Helens 20-12 in February to claim a record fifth title.

Perhaps the biggest news in rugby league this week comes ahead of tomorrow night's semi-final between St Helens and Catalans Dragons.

Catalans forwards Joel Tomkins and Michael McIlorum received eight and six game bans respectively for offences in their side's Super League play-off win over Leeds last week.

Tomkins was found guilty of 'inappropriate contact' on the backside of Leeds full-back Richie Myler.

McIlorum's six-game ban came from two separate incidents in the match - a two-game ban for a high tackle on Brad Dwyer and four more for trying to pick him up while injured.

This week saw this season's Steve Prescott Man of Steel award nominees announced ahead of next week's awards ceremony.

Wigan's Bevan French and Liam Farrell, Huddersfield's Aidan Sezer, St Helens' Lachlan Coote and Castleford's Paul McShane are the five contenders for prize.

The awards will also see young player and coach of the year announced.

Of course it's not just the end of the domestic rugby league season in the northern hemisphere.

This week saw the game come to an end for 2020 down under with the conclusion of this year's State of Origin series.

Queensland won their first series since 2017 thanks to their game-three decider win against New South Wales on Wednesday.

52,000 were in attendance in Brisbane, a post-Covid-19 record.

The end of an unforgettable 2020 Super League season is nearing and tonight sees the first of two play-off semi-finals.

The prize for tonight's victor is a spot at next week's Grand Final under the lights at Hull's KCOM Stadium.

League Leaders' Shield winners Wigan Warriors take on Hull FC with both sides 80 minutes from the season's crescendo.

But will Adrian Lam's side keep the good times rolling or will Hull set up a home tie in a potential first Grand Final since 2006?

Kick-off is coming soon.
