Richie Myler: Leeds Rhinos need to dig deep as Salford Red Devils clash begins Super League fixture pile-up
and live on Freeview channel 276
Tomorrow’s rearranged game at Salford Red Devils comes one day short of a month since Rhinos last played.
In that time two matches and 10 days of training have been called off because of a Covid outbreak, five players drafted into international duty and director of rugby Kevin Sinfield has announced his departure.

Hide AdRhinos did not have enough players to fulfil the fixture at Salford on its original date, yesterday, but the switch to Sunday means only Zane Tetevano and Liam Sutcliffe are definitely missing from the team which crushed Castleford Tigers 60-6 last time out.
But it also means Rhinos will be playing four times in 13 days, with a home clash against Leigh Centurions on Thursday followed by a Monday trip to Warrington Wolves and then the visit of Catalans Dragons that Friday.
That schedule will stretch Rhinos’ resources to the limit and Myler insisted they have to do whatever it takes to get through.
