| As someone who is an amateur coach and having had to jump through so many hoops to get my lads back training (with great success I may add!), I’m actually hoping this could turn out to be a positive for the game in the current climate.
It obviously not ideal in the short term however looking at the bigger picture if at the end of their quarantine period all the Salford lads return negative results then it highlights that actually playing the game is low risk in relation to transmitting the virus.
I’ve a suspicion as to why the Hull Club are keeping things under wraps on who has tested positive as i think it may be a group of lads and their families that are naturally drawn to each other off the pitch. Just a suspicion though nothing I’ve heard.

That was obviously going to happen once a few of them had it, especially the physio. Hope they all make a quick recovery, if any have symptoms.

| Wonder what it’ll mean for Hull going forward? If they keep testing these guys and it keeps saying they have it, how are they going to get any games in? I recall a Juventus footballer testing positive for it time and again over about 6-8 weeks.

God only knows Nicky, Kingston upon Hull was doing relatively well especially in Northern England regarding the figures against this virus.

Worrying stuff. The game may have to come up with something to help the situation. There’s obviously a lot of Toronto players with time on their hands but Hull aren’t going to want to pay them just as a token gesture of fulfilling fixtures. Hopefully it gets no worse and I guess that leaves around 20 players Covid free, with the 9 players to drip back in as and when. I know we have a really deep squad and it would be in our interest to offer the loan of a few players as and when Hull are back playing to tide them over, even if we continue to pay them. It’s better than teams needing to pull out and then all teams lose money on the tv deal.

Saving grace is they've played more games than anyone in the league.
