Tommy Leuluai says the disruption caused by Covid-19 is something that rugby league players will have to get used to as Wigan Warriors prepare to take on Catalans Dragons this Saturday (5pm UK time).
The 35-year-old looks set to return to action this week as Adrian Lam’s side head to Perpignan, after being cleared to travel following a positive test in the Warriors camp at the beginning of the week.
Talking to Wigan TV this week, the half-back discussed how players need to respond to the problems that Covid-19 still poses and how it has affected Wigan’s preparations this week.
He said: “It was a bit disruptive at the start of the week, which wasn’t ideal, but it is nice to get some training in. We’ve only got one guy who is isolated so it’s not too bad and is probably the bast-case scenario from what we first thought.
“We are learning the lessons of how we can protect the group and our sport. It’s very hard sometimes, as it’s a tough time in the world, so we all have to deal with it and crack on.
“There are changes all the time, and as players we have to deal with what is thrown at us and prepare the best that we can, so we are ready to play.”
