On the covid cancellation, catalans tested positive and cancelled, wigan and cas then rearranged their game and played, the other 3 players/members of staff caught covid and it was identified Wednesday pm. Until all other players and staff had been tested and the game wasn't allowed to go ahead.
This was mid 1st wave and 2nd wave pandemic, hardly comparable to some of the shenanigans this year.
Wigan have played every game I believe thisbyear although at times I wish they hadn't!'"
On the wider topic of covid and cancellations it's a tricky one to judge really.
I suppose part of me doesn't want to believe that teams are "faking it" and using it their advantage. Whether that's naïve of me or just being an optimist/idealist I don't know.
Some of the cancellations (including ours) have come at a handy time and in that sense can look dodgy and too much of a coincidence maybe. But by the same token in our case we gave up a home game to Huddersfield which could cost us the league leaders shield, so I find it hard to believe we faked it. Yes it came at a good time in terms of a post-Wembley breather but we also gave up a very winnable game.
As you say Wigan have fulfilled every game so hats off to them for that and I was proud of Saints being able to say the same thing prior to the stuff after Wembley.
For the good of the game I can't wait to see the back of it and I hope we never hear the words "points percentage" ever again.
