ANOTHER Super League fixture postponed

The Betfred Super League fixture scheduled for Thursday (July 15) between Hull KR and Hull FC has been postponed under the Covid Fixture Protocols.

Hull FC have been granted the postponement because more than seven of their top 25 paid players remain unavailable either after positive Covid-19 tests, or as close contacts.

In total, the Black & Whites are without eleven players and two staff members, compounded by a number of long-term injuries to their first-team squad.

There have been no further positive cases reported by the club, although one additional person is self-isolating due to test and trace.

The clubs will now liaise with the RFL about a possible rearrangement of the fixture – although the Betfred Super League table will again be determined by win points percentage to allow for the possibility of not all fixtures being fulfilled.
