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!
