Coach Richard Agar reckons Leeds Rhinos will continue to meet Super League’s Covid-19 disruptions head on
Rhinos are Covid-free at this stage, after standing down seven players over what proved to be a false alarm last week.

Preparations for the game against Huddersfield Giants at St Helens’ TW Stadium last Friday were disrupted when a family member of one player began feeling unwell.
The player went into isolation, as did six club-mates who had been identified as having had “close contact” with him at training.
Test results came back negative across the board, but not in time for the players to feature against Giants - though they did drive to the game, individually - in case they were called on.
