Strong squad

Very strong and with Leeds having named an unchanged 21 man squad from last night, there are going to be some very tired bodies there.
Should give us a better chance, hopefully.

Surprised to see they haven't mixed it up a little, last night was as physical of a game as I have seen in a long time so I would imagine there would be some tired bodies in that Leeds side. That said there is obviously pressure there to win to try and make that top 4.

I agree
Although it must be tempting to try and have your strongest 17 on the field for each game, with the frequency and speed of games, surely, players are just going to be knackered, which will eventually lead to injuries.
It's a difficult task to juggle a squad effectively, while maintaining some momentum.

I'm pleased that Agar has gone, largely, for the same again.

Just seen the Cas game has been cancelled due to Covid results and that RFL are set to liaise with Leeds today.

You can add to this that Salford have forfeited the game against Warrington because they cannot raise a team. This equates to a Warrington win of 24-0.

If it’s true what I’ve heard about the number of Cas players tested and if they all played in the Leeds game makes you wonder how many Leeds players were within the track and trace processes.

Sorry SP, a full forfeit or a postponement ?

Cas probably a result of being sat on m62 for three hours - due to Sky forcing everyone from Yorkshire to play in Merseyside. Rugby League is run by morons.

Also the treatment of Salford is absolutely disgusting. Cas aren’t being punished as far as I’m aware?

Yeah but Cas is Covid related? Salford's is not is it?

What I do find bizarre though is Warrington are still to play, just against Hudds, which potentially leaves them getting 4 points this week.

I fully expect this game against Leeds to be called off, in that case it should have been us playing Hudds not Wire.

On a positive note we have no positives from this round of testing.

If a club can’t field a 17 due to injuries due to a congested fixture list organised by the RFL, then it would be incredibly harsh to punish said club. It’s not like they did a Toronto.

Surely if it is not Covid related and they cannot field a team for the match then it is a forfeit therefore it is only right for Wire to get the comp points?

The Covid related postponements are all decisions ultimately taken by SL/RFL this one is just Salford saying they cant field a team so we can`t play?

It is there responsibility to ensure they can field a team.
