Imagine this happens the week before the Challenge Cup Final or the Grand Final, and a team has to stand down multiple players. I have to agree with St Helens Wolf - it doesn't bode well.

By the sounds of it 'several' players will be stood down - I guess it just depends on who. Knowing our luck it will be D Clark, Widdop, Austin & Ratchford!

We have a relatively healthy squad and are building a little bit of form, so I think it's the right decision to play as long as the RFL protocols etc allow it. It looks lik ethere will be plenty of games to be played in short succession at the back end of the year, lets play as many as we can safely now.

Have we had a case yet where a player has directly infected a player from the opposing team? I guess potentially we have the case with Catalans & Wakey but I don't think it's been confirmed if the Wakefield squad was infected by Catalan or just from general population?

According to the Warrington Guardian 6 players stood down for next two games but Friday's game will go ahead.

As I mentioned above.

Season is fast becoming a lottery

I'm enjoying the style of play and will enjoy seeing some of the fringe players get a game so glad its going ahead. Hopefully we can maintain some form and win one of the next two games at least but it will be tough.

I don't really understand the logic the RFL are applying in any of this (there may be a clue with the words logic and RFL).

Given our tests have come back negative and all fhe squad had equal exposure to the Wakefield players, how have they arrived at a figure of six and what are the criteria?

It's based on GPS tracking of players contact time with those infective players of Wakefield.

Surely if its one its all? How on earth do they come up with 6? How is this done? I know they are using GPS...is this down to 'player X tackled player Y 4 times' so has a higher exposure than player Z' ?

Thats pretty much how it works yes, not sure if its number of tackles or total time of close contact.

So by that logic...your forwards are going to be more exposed?

who is the top tackler? Daryl Clark will be one of the 6, so will Jack Hughes and Jason Clarke, because the props are spelled they might have less exposure.

Add Davis, Cooper, Hill, Austin.

anyone got the tackle stats....your top 6 will be the guys missing.

It can take some time before you return a positive test, so the 14 days is to cover the possibility of a 'false negative'.

As for the rationale on who is stood down don't know if it's number of tackles / carries against specific players,or can the GPS that is worn determine time spent within a set distance of another players GPS?

Did the RFL / SL ever publish the criteria for whether pa player would be stood down via contact in a game situation?
