Eade told Triple M on Sunday that a group of players would not be taken to China given the current circumstances.

“That smog… hopefully there’s no respiratory problems,” Eade told the Sunday Rub .

“We won’t take any players who have got asthma or have got respiratory problems anyway.

“So that’ll have to all be decided on Tuesday, so there may be some changes.”

However, the veteran coach was less forthcoming with information about who those players would be.

“No, no, we’ll keep that quiet and see how we go,” Eade said.
