Dan Ryan, the head coach of Netball Superleague rookies Leeds Rhinos, says his team and their rival clubs need to be adaptable to the challenges of Covid if the season is to go ahead as planned.

The 2021 season, the first to include the Leeds Rhinos, is scheduled to commence two weeks today with a bumper weekend featuring all 10 teams in one venue.

The latest coronavirus lockdown has left the start of the season in doubt, with no word yet on who Rhinos’ first opponents will be as a Superleague franchise.

Ryan, their Australian head coach and director of netball who has been overseeing preparations since the summer, is confident good news will soon arrive and believes everyone in the league needs to be versatile to the demands of the pandemic.
