To be fair to RD, anyone who has suffered from covid who has been ill badly through this would agree with him. A lot of people many months after having covid, their health has been not the same, although athletes should be fitter it has affected people very differently. To many on here jump on his back for some comments agreed, but this is not one of them. I for one would think playing Wigan after a two week lay off being people suffering covid, could massively affect the score, those who have been ill badly through would agree

The Wembley variant is pretty nasty by all accounts, it comes on the next morning and symptoms are the room spinning when you lie down in bed, a banging headache that feels like someone has a pick axe inside your skull, nausea and vomiting. Can take a good few days to get it out of your system. Me and a few mates got it on a stag do in Prague. If the Saints players had that I don't blame them for cancelling matches, you would not want to play rugby league in that state.

Well you got me, scrolling back thinking, I don’t remember naming a (x) player!?
However, my lazy post, was obviously highlighting the possibility of the extremes and ‘could’ being the key word.
I have heard of people getting C-19 and having zero symptoms. I don’t know of any, I know more than enough about my friends and celebrities who are dead and handicapped for life from it though.

I don’t make a throw away post when it comes to people I know dying. I think my post about our team being in less than peak condition for a game against anyone, let alone Wigan after a C-19 bout is also valid. Symptoms or not.
However I will be very happy if all our squad get zero symptoms and stay at the peak of their game to beat the pies. There’s nothing more I’d want from them currently. I’ll even be betting on Wire to win, as I always do.

i didn't say you did, but you know how the jungle drums start, some fella heard off a bloke who's on RLfans that...

I know I shouldn't have laughed at this, as I get what you're trying to say RD. It might be worth having a read through what you've written, at times.

C-19 is a shatter, but if it gets a laugh with out being distasteful….result. I’ll leave it.
