Full time players have to isolate for 5 days. Part time 10 days.

Comment of the month.

All of the above are very pertinent questions & ask more about the sports administrators than of London, who incidentally in my view have done nothing wrong & probably have a very sound legal footing to challenge if required !

Covid as an excuse is one thing, but making your staff work in a situation that threatens their health would supersede operational rules every day of the week. France is behind in terms of their lockdown and vaccination schedule and I think any employer who required their staff to travel there at present would be open to litigation.

How can I be "anti French" against clubs playing English and antipodean players in an English league? What exactly is French about them

If anyone is against the French it's those who have abandoned the French Elite league and have little time for French players.......

You know, the guys who run Cats and TO.

And yet, Catalan were expected to fulfil their fixtures in England, when England was significantly worse then France.
The round ball game seems to be able to cope with playing their European games home and away and whilst fully accepting that football is significantly better resourced than RL, elite sport SHOULD be able to manage the circumsatnces.

Apart from Catalans fulfilling they're fixtures over here the rest is not strictly true, the UK government were dealing with the situation admirably whereas the French could be described as incompetent at best.

Your at it again pretending Catalans are French. The teams mainly anglo-Aussie and nomadic so it was easy for them to play here

I was following the game when Cats were admitted in 2006 and when SL bosses went to France to deny Toulouse entry to SL at that time because they didn't have the players or TV deal...Both clubs regularly termed as guests, Les Catalans didn't vote on the last TV deal and have not voted on many SL issues conceding they are guests.

14 years since Catalans came in as guests. Then you pop up screaming for "proof" at me. Come back when you have proof of these clubs having full membership of Superleague........

So it's just hearsay then 14 years further on and still in super league says they are a little bit more than just guests, that's to any rugby fan that is, not sure how you can can describe my posts as screaming for proof when all I am guilty of is finding your accusations about them a touch tiresome and have asked you for a link which you clearly don't have, or if you do your not wanting to share it with anybody.

As for me having proof that these clubs have full membership, I simply don't have any, like most people on here without an agenda on the subject I'm working on the assumption that they have the same status as the rest and don't find it an issue unlike you, if I'm wrong then I'm happy to be corrected but you don't seem to be able to provide the necessary proof, so in my best non screaming mode once again I'm popping up and asking for proof and not he said/she said, apologies in advance for any embarrassment I may have caused you.

I wouldnt hold your breath. He has made hundreds of claims over the years without a shred of evidence

That's really quite funny

Last year the UK government were making a right balls of dealing with covid but, they have been saved by the vaccine rollout.
I would agree that France isn't in great shape right now, just as the UK wasn't last year, which is the point that I was trying to make.

Whatever point you were trying to make it did not come across very clearly, btw my reference to the UK government was in the context of your post regarding the French fulfilling they're fixtures and was in no way intended to derail the thread by talking politics, which seems that you are happy to mix the two.

My comment was more to do with people suggesting that it is right for London not to travel to France (to play Toulouse) and yet, it was ok for Catalan to travel to England last season.
There seems to be some huge double standards from some of the "anti French RL" fans on here.

Having said that, the decision to "force" some clubs to travel, while others are exempt seems crazy.
It may have been borne out of good intentions but, it makes a total mockery of the competition.

If the part time clubs are exempt from travelling because they are not contenders for promotion, that is just crazy.
Even if the decision is based around the pandemic, there needs to be a different solution found.

Part time players,being quarantined on return,would miss work.
I believe the owner of London Broncos seems this to be 4 days of work.
Full time players will not lose holidays or money.
Of course,with the play offs possibly including Toulouse,playing a home game,further missed work days may result for part time players.
