Game between Keighley and Salford on Sunday is cancelled due to a number of injuries in Salford's squad and "clustered first team fixtures".

Keighley will shortly announce replacement opposition for a match on Saturday.

Can't really blame Salfords players for refusing to play in this one. With the situation they are in any injury could cost a player a fortune and they probably don't trust the RFL to look after them.

I hope they've not left it too late for Keighley to get a refund on the minibus they'd ordered to pick Salford's players up

Hoping Hull play them. It would work out well for both teams. Our reserves were due to play Doncaster a couple of weeks ago but weather put paid to it. We only have one other friendly lined up which will mainly be the first team you would assume, so this would be a good opportunity for the youngsters who should be able to give Keighley some decent opposition.

They've already announced it's Bradford.
