The home grounds of Leeds and St Helens will be the only two venues in use initially when the Super League season resumes next month. Super League has been on hold for four months because of coronavirus but returns from August 2 with three games at Headingley, in Leeds, which will welcome all 12 teams for six fixtures behind closed doors the following weekend. St Helens' stadium will host round nine on August 15-16. The Super League said the decision to keep to two venues for now offers greater control for the safety and well-being of everyone involved. The venues for later matches are still to be confirmed and though there will be no crowds initially, Super League said the topic would be "reviewed as the season progresses". A four-team play-off schedule will take place in mid-to-late November, with the Grand Final to be held at the end of the month. Testing protocols are up and running, allowing players to return to training by the end of next week. Super League executive chairman Robert Elstone said: "Today's fixtures announcement finally brings the 2020 season back to life. "We were really pleased to be able to confirm a restart date but fans really want to know who their team is playing and when. It hasn't been an easy process. There have been a couple of tweaks to the rules for health reasons, with scrums replaced by tap restarts alongside the introduction of a set of six more tackles for ruck infringements, which has been used in Australia's NRL. jw/lp
