or maybe a sly way of telling the rfl we dont have enough fit players for meaningless all stars game next week, along with our own fixture v hudds......throwing 2 or 3 younger untested academy lads in could do more harm than good

Smart. I keep forgetting about the All-stars thing. It's like it's too stupid to even register.

When do they announce the squad for this mid-season idiocy?

This is a big worry though next week, for what is now a ridiculous fixture, when scheduled at the same time as regular league fixtures.

No doubt they’ll come calling for 2-3 of our pack. Definitely Satae, probably Sao and Ma’u too.

I know the season is shorter this season with Covid, but this fixture really needed scheduling on its own date or not at all.

As someone else mentioned, with Covid in a few clubs now, how is the fixture going to work? Are Leeds going to release 2-3 players from their Covid infected bubble to play in this fixture? It could just end up being a Super Spreader Event! Just what the League needs right now.

Just make me think of the late great Steve Prescott, best fb in the league at the time of the Yorkshire v Lancashire I think, was on the bench, Steve Cullen brought him on when getting hammered, and he got season ending injury! That’s how I remember it anyway!

What would be the ramifications of just not making players available to the Exiles? Or whatever they’re called now.

Good watch that first half of Saints/Wires.

Top 4 established now. Great performance from Wire but Saints out of sorts tonight in attack.

Saints attack stuttered in front of Wire’s attritional defence

Fantastic defence, put them right off their stride. Good for the comp that Wire and Catalans are right in the mix.
