Because those are the rules all the clubs agreed to before the competition started.

When agreed rules are applied, it's not "amateurish".

"Amateurish" would be not setting any rules in the first place or, as you are advocating, disregarding those rules because it'll upset one of the parties involved.

As Fitzpatrick has detailed, all clubs agreed at the start of the season to release a maximum of 6 players for the international fixture. The operational rule that Leeds are now using is an old rule that has not been adjusted and was used presumably when there were a lot more international fixtures and a longer season. 

Leeds refused to play on the Friday as was always penciled in and decided to excersize this rule despite already agreeing to releasing the players and i think this is what has got everyone's back up so much. 

other clubs like Hull, Warrington and Wigan are all utilizing their academies and would much rather do this opposed to having multiple 4 day turnarounds Leeds obviously dont want to do this. 

Leeds cannot fulfill the fixture due to injuries and COVID.

So a summary of your post is, Leeds are following the rules?

PS - can you let us know when there were "a lot more international fixtures"?

First time for everything I suppose.

But why now, and why this rule ?

It’s ready simple to understand, I’m not sure what @Rupert Prince is struggling with 

Just to clarify, its reality that he is struggling with. There's no hope for some.

Leeds will win, Salford have won once in about 30 years

Yeah, that about sums it up.

Oledski, Gale, Leeming and Prior

 

so all of them bar Handley who failed his HIA

[Old Frightful]

Early injury scare for Beaker but he looks like he's gonna run it off.

Great to be back at a live game

Still 0-0 so far.

[Old Frightful]

Salford with all the early pressure but Leeds look to be making easier yards and have had a couple of decent breaks up go now.

[M j M]

Brief 24 player brawl.

Looked like someone decked Hurrell

[Old Frightful]

Mass brawl breaks out!

Someone's walking here.

[Old Frightful]

Hurrell chases Lee Mossop after an altercation and Mossop floors him.

Both sent off I think.

Broadbent over for Leeds.

[Old Frightful]

Reds 0 Leeds 6.

[Old Frightful]

Salford player in bin.

11 v 12.

[Old Frightful]

Tom Briscoe nips in at the corner.

Martin misses second effort from touch.

Reds 0 Leeds 10.

 

[Chris22]

Mossop sent off, Hurrell off for a HIA, Thompson off too for reacting according to Leeds twitter. Jack Wells sin binned a few minutes later for a tip tackle.

Here is the incident. I doubt Hurrell will go after Mossop again.

Pretty sure Hurrell was sent off also.

This is Leeds' version of events. Nothing's every easy to figure out in rugby league!

Bodene Thompson was sent off.

[Old Frightful]

Confusion reigns.

Seems Thompson was sent off and Hurrell stayed off after failing HIA.

Hardly surprising the second bit.

BEEB says 

Mossop Red card at 16 minutes

Thompson Red card at 16 minutes

Wells Yellow card at 23 minutes

[M j M]

Failed HIA means presumably Hurrell misses Thursday's game as well, alongside Ash Handley.

[M j M]

Did anyone mention Salford scored ?!

Currently 6-10.
