Preston in hospital on drip before Bulldogs game, five players with COVID
Canterbury have kept alive their slim finals hopes despite back-rower Jacob Preston spending two days in hospital on a drip, five players contracting COVID-19 and winger Jacob Kiraz secretly playing with a torn calf for the past three weeks.
In yet another pre-match disruption, centre Matt Burton missed training in the lead-up to Saturday night’s must-win clash with St George Illawarra to return home to Dubbo for a family issue.
And before kick-off, Enari Tuala was ruled out with a knee injury which he aggravated at training.
As far as preparations go, it is hard to envisage there being more interruptions.
