More HKR players tested positive for Covid. I wonder if there might be a knock on effect for us after Fridays match

Why are clubs having such issues with Covid? Football clubs don't seem to. I know football is basically non-contact now but you hear of very few cases (I realise we're currently in the off season for football and the Indian variant is on the up). Is it just purely a testing issue and football clubs see it earlier before the spread happens?

I saw that it was in doubt early this morning but was going to wait until it was confirmed! Just when they had a chance at beating Saints.
As you say, I hope it doesn’t go through our camp.
Think they had a positive case during last week too!!

I imagine that we'll have a number of exclusions for close contact. Might affect our next match (which could be good becasue we're going to have quite a few key players out due to the international).

So many clubs will have the same problem this week, of players being in the squads for both of the International teams.
This was supposed to be a free week for SL, but again, the RFL show how badly run our game is!

We could only name 20 men on Friday, so if we lose players I can't imagine us mustering a team for Wakefield.

Hope they don't treat this like the womens SL match that got called off because of COVID + injuries because the number of COVIDs itself wasn't enough to postpone. If we can't raise a team due to COVID + injuries + internationals and have to forfeit that would be appalling.
