Could be difficult to continue fixture list.

Both salford and hull unable to attend training for at least one week and have to isolate for 21 days. More testing to take pkace tomorrow.
Just dont see how the season can continue at this stage.

Wonder if the problem is the lack of a bubble. In the NRL, I think the players are all confined together. Here, they're not, the pubs are open again, and Albert Kelly is in the squad. One night on the lash, a few days training, and the virus ripples through the squad.

Also, makes you wonder whether some of the Hull players were a bit under the weather on Sunday, hence the result.

Although they'd all tested negative in the round of testing...................
They were just sh*t.

Featherstone Rovers have already been on to the RFL to say they'll take both their places.

Bit unfair on Salford really, none of the Hull players were quick enough to lay a finger on the Salford players.

Sounds like we are now playing Catalans at the weekend and not Saints.
