LEAGUE 1 ROUND-UP
KEIGHLEY COUGARS coach Rhys Lovegrove has praised his players dedication to sticking to Covid-19 restrictions as the club continues to report a clean bill of health at training.
The players have been back in pre-season for over a month now with each session starting with players and staff being tested.
They continually register zero positive tests, much to the delight of their coach.
"Thankfully we've not had any Covid issues to contend with yet - touch wood," said Lovegrove.
"We have got a really good group here and they are all being very careful in what they do in their personal lives.
"We realise that they do have personal lives and jobs away from the club, so there is that added variable and risk. But they have been really good so far and we haven't had any positives, so long may that continue."
Elsewhere, prop Jack Arnold could be included in the squad for Saturday's pre-season friendly against Bradford Bulls after the RFL confirmed he will receive an amnesty from the remainder of the ban he picked up against Hunslet in August 2019.
