Is Wakefield at home really viewed as a tough assignment for Salford?
Lots of fekkwittery here about this being some sort of scam but it really isn't that easy to fake Covid.
Come on Ghost, every game for Salford is "a tough assignment" at the moment, especially with their injury situation, plus the 3 suspensions picked up against Leeds.
The rumours were that they were already looking to postpone the fixture and then surprise, surprise, they have managed to pass the "covid threshold".
At least Cas had the decency to be honest and forfeit their game. Although, it has to be said that, this probably looks worse for the sport than a covid postponement.
Salford have won 1 from 7 (against Leigh), with Trinity winning 4 from their last 6
This was a huge game for them, theoretically against a fellow struggler, did they really want to play this one with 3 suspended, plus their injuries etc. I think not.
Whether the covid contacts were legitimate, we may never know but, as a Trinity fan, I would rather be playing tomorrow, than playing when they are "fully fit" and free of suspensions.
