That situation is made even more ridiculous as Saints who should have been at home in their game have to play it at Headingley when Saints' ground is one of the ones expected to be used as a neutral venue. Playing the three games at Saints would have made more sense. I would hope that if it does as expected happen at Leeds that the Leeds v Huddersfield fixtures are reversed so that Huddersfield will get their home tie later in the season.

If Leeds had gone there when they should have instead of pretending that they had covid symptoms then they wouldn’t have to go now.

Great conspiracy theory seeing how Joe Greenwood was the player in question

Not a conspiracy theory, its a fact. Leeds should have been punished for refusing to play and used a loan player as a scape goat.

I have inside knowledge of this one. The return flights were cancelled and Spain (where the flights go from and to) went into a state of emergency by the time the game should have been played. The game should have been canned and Leeds did the right thing. I'll wager they stopped a lot of people getting COVID by forcing the cancellation of the game.

The fact is he was showing symptoms similar to those of the virus hence why they didn`t travel.
Had his symptoms developed into the virus and they traveled a fair few more might have been infected.
The airlines were already shutting down so whilst it was a bold decision it was the right one at the time.
Do you really think they had to use a loan player as a scapegoat!?
I`m sure Greenwood would have been really pleased to take on that role to save a team he wasn`t even contracted to
