Friday night’s Betfred Super League fixture between Huddersfield Giants and Castleford Tigers has been cancelled after the Tigers this morning reported 12 positive Covid-19 tests.

The RFL and Super League will today liaise with Public Health England, Castleford Tigers and the Tigers’ last opponents, Leeds Rhinos, before the Multiple Case Group meets to consider the data and decide next steps.

Super League and the RFL are actively exploring all options and will make a further announcement as soon as practicable.

Castleford’s tests were conducted on Tuesday 27 October. The results of this week’s testing across all clubs will be provided as soon as complete information is available.

Notes:

The Huddersfield Giants v Castleford Tigers was due to kick-off on Friday at 1730 at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Friday’s matches on Sky Sports at the Totally Wicked Stadium are:

Warrington Wolves v Salford Red Devils 1730

St Helens v Wigan Warriors 1945
SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row

Wolves v Salford off as well now, Salford saying they can't put a team out, game forfeited and Wolves given 24-0 win.

Will we be forced to do the same with the Catalans game? In theory it was postponed and not cancelled but now France is looking to go into a 4 week lockdown.

Ours was for covid reasons, I don't think Salfords is.

They're saying they only have 13 fit players to field. If that's not Covid related then that's terrible.

I don't understand why Salford can't loan players to fulfil the fixture. Didn't they change the rules to make this easier during COVID? There must be loads of players who were either expecting to play reserves or championship this year who would love to play and wouldn't let anyone down. We have the likes of Hankinson, Kilner, Borough and Pearce Paul on the sidelines who would be fine in that game and we know won't be required this Friday.

Completely agree.

OT, but everyone saying "why would Watson leave Salford" needs to take a really hard look at the above. There's a great 1 - 18, but after that? Where are the systems and support structure needed to facilitate a 1st team that's competing for finals?

Let's not sugar coat it - it's an absolute disgrace that something like this can happen in SL.

Exactly.

You can throw 2/3rds of a Toronto side into the equation too.

They made the last two finals on offer - therefore they clearly had good enough resources to compete for finals. I agree it appears poor though unless we learn anything more. I don't understand it as they definitely fielded reserves at the start of the year and as above I don't get why they don't loan players. I'm guessing there must be something we're missing.

Salford have no academy. Their reserves were part time and have all been let go.
