Men’s rugby league Salford’s games off due to Covid

THE ravaging of the 2021 Super League season by the coronavirus pandemic continued today when two more fixtures bit the dust.

Salford’s next two matches — against Wakefield at Stadium Way tomorrow and away to Hull on Monday — have both been postponed due to a fresh Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

That takes the number of postponements in Super League so far this season to eight and, in addition, today’s game between Castleford and St Helens was cancelled because the Tigers could not raise a team.

The Red Devils, who were facing the prospect of playing a second match in five days, say one of their senior players returned a positive lateral flow test on Tuesday morning and that more than six other players were also be required to isolate as close contacts.
