I've already said it's their fault.
Seems to be talk of our game being in trouble as well but only seen a few comments on twitter and a few comments on Leeds RL Fans.
I know the womens team have a case so they've had to cancel. So wonder if it's us? Although Leeds have previous.
Edit - On their RL fans one of the admin has said they've got 4 positive cases so "it's off" according to them.
According to various Leeds Twitter pages, four players are positive and the match is probably off no doubt due to track and trace, on going discussions with supervisory groups, looking at the fixture list as it stands I can't see any room for rearrangement unless it's after the last regular game of the season, paying the penalty for getting to Wembley with that weekend ruled out is harsh, so it might be down to the percentage method
Can't see that happening. Surely the only reasonable switch around would be for us to play Wigan if both our opponents have bailed. Can't see either clubs wanting to give up that fixture with crowds and its a bit late for getting tickets out for a Friday match now - Saints couldn't even get that right for the Hull game with weeks notice
Probably going to be shot down for suggesting it, but Wigan could play Saints this weekend, I'm sure the clubs wouldn't want it for obvious reasons 're attendances returning etc, but there does not appear to be even midweek slots available unless it's three games in six days
Leeds who had to close training down pre season. Not to mention they apparently had a convenient outbreak before Catalans away (but no cases)
Personally I think they should either play with a reduced squad/academy - or forfeit the points.
I certainly don't want the game to be rearranged
I agree its not going to happen I suppose they could postpone it to Sunday afternoon, and then put the Warrington fixture back a day, but then Sky would turn that down. Just when everything seemed to be getting back on track......at least some of our ageing players would have had the jab either now or very shortly
I can't see how it particularly suits Leeds to cry off either. They've got a weeks rest on us off the back of a good win, it does them no favours either.
This f**king sport!
We've just had a full football season for all divisions, including Europe matches without any being called off (that I am aware of)
Yet we can't even get to 10 games before we have to start calling games off.
Funny how Saints haven't cancelled a game since this started. What are these players at other clubs up to.
My understanding is if the game is off it WONT be re scheduled. The % win system will kick in. Shame as I reckon Leeds is a gimme 2 points for us these days -
From SL it says they're awaiting the result on one player, I must say it's pretty poor from Leeds if one player can take out so many others, especially as they haven't played this week

Well if it is cancelled then we shouldn't push to reschedule it. There are already to many games coming up thick and fast.
This article from SL suggests otherwise (last paragraph).

I'm generalising of course, but if you're a family that brings in £50-100k a week you don't have to do some of the stuff that a family that brings in that much in a year has to do, and you can avoid alot of the situations, workplace perils and everyday chances of catching it that the other family cannot.
