Even if they play us Sunday they probably aren't going to get a better chance all year of beating us, we'll be under prepared and short on Numbers even on the Sunday, they'd be better playing it rather than postponing it IMO.

Well with eight unavailable on Fri with Covid, five called up for international duties and up to eight players injured we are left with little option but to postpone if the match can't be delayed until Sunday. Can we legally play our u17/19 side against Salford?

How many months could this game have been moved to the Sunday? We are now on Tuesday afternoon and nobody knows when or if it will be played.

What a total farce.

To be fair it's only the Covid thing which has messed it up, from Leeds POV anyway. Given we have a game next Thursday moving to Sunday isn't ideal. We were ok to play Friday without just the five international players according to KS but add on the Covid missing and it's impractical.

There shouldn't have been any SL games this weekend in the first place though.

Its the Covid situation that's caused this not the international game.

Credit to Leeds, Huddersfield and Warrington for releasing the full number of players requested of them (max. of five) for the England game. The other clubs... well some may not have had five worth it but we can clearly see those who place their own self interest first, and it's not a surprising list.

Sunday 1pm.

Its not just the Covid thing. Months ago Leeds and Salford knew this game clashed with the England game, anyone with half a brain wouldve rescheduled then.

If there were no covid issues the game would be going ahead without any issues. The clubs knew they would be releasing some players but we simply cannot get a team out with the covid issue.

I do however agree that no games should have been scheduled, we should have a blank weekend for internationals.

We should have a fixed International weekend in the year every year but that's a different matter.

We better hope we get no more positive tests now this week or peoples heads will literally fall off.

So aside from those backing up from friday who's available/unavailable/affected by covid isolation do we think?

Vuniyayawa, Donaldson, Broadbent, Gannon, Walker were five that I know of.

Now Sunday at 1pm, that’s a great gesture from the Red Devils who didn’t have to accommodate the request.

Much better than the m62on a Friday aswellicon_wink.gif

As mentioned earlier though they were facing that or postponement.

Has anyone had to request a refund from Salford and have you heard anything back from them?

Might have to go through Ticketmaster perhaps?

Whats capacity on this game and are tickets open to the public

4k. Need to buy thru Salford website. Away end is North Stand.

Well pretty much open capacity then as they rarely get more than that

Well, it looks like Handley won't be backing up on Sunday.

Well worth it for this pointless game

Or available next Thursday if he doesn’t make it back on

You wouldn’t mind as much if the game had a valid purpose and this England line up wasn’t about as uninspired as its been for some time.

Broadbent
