https://www.wigantoday.net/sport/rugby- ... ad-3537772
Ian Lenagan has revealed that all but one member of the Wigan Warriors squad has been vaccinated against Covid-19.
Speaking at the club’s media day on Friday, he said players can’t be pressured into getting the vaccine, although they will try to persuade them.
The Wigan owner hopes that the prospect of missing some matches throughout the season will act as an incentive across the sport.
He said: “When you’re speaking about religious, cultural or any other reasons, you can’t force but you can persuade. People have their own reasons why they choose not to be vaccinated.
For a younger player, or even more so for an older one, you want to play every in a season, and we’ve got two games away in Toulouse and Perpignan.
I’ve seen what the NRL are doing, and the French scenario is quite important. Look at Djokovic and Tennis in Australia, everyone has the same problem.
We are in a good place, and the fact that scrums are coming back is obviously a tribute to the percent of vaccinated players is high.”

Really good work by all concerned. I’d imagine there will be a few clubs with more than one player unvaccinated and it’ll be tough to swallow for clubs and their supporters having to take on the French clubs short handed.

Thank you.
Pleased that they actually reported it albeit surprised that it wasn’t/isn’t considered to be a headline story.
I’m amazed and disappointed that our Parliament has voted for this.
A lot of loyal and highly trained staff are going to be thrown on the scrap heap for no guaranteed outcome even if all nhs staff are vaccinated.
Stupidity of the highest order.

Well said!
Although you aren’t allowed to say that on this forum. |

It was one of the lead stories yesterday on the site, I'd say about the 5th so it wasnt hidden away.
Theyve also done numerous stories relating to NHS staff who don't want to be vaccinated inc the doctor who challenged sajid javid and this one
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-h ... e-59986794
They also run numerous fact checking stories through a lady called Rachel schraer (not sure of spelling) |

As I said Jukes it was probably my inability to do the correct search and I’m pleased that they are reporting it.
I will check out the Rachel lady. I haven’t heard of her so hopefully some interesting reading.
It’s that long since I logged onto the site it took me several attempts to get on as I couldn’t remember my password.
I’m just surprised that it isn’t the top headline as once February 3rd is passed then in theory it’s a point of no return.
I never thought I would live in a country where such jaw dropping absurd legislation passes with such a majority and it isn’t the story that all news outlets lead on. I find it unforgivable.

Seems to be ok for Morrisons, Next, Ikea, Ocado and Wessex Water to not pay their unvaccinated staff full sick pay when they are forced to isolate and instead give them SSP. Being unable to enter France to do your job because of your choice would be under a similar area of employment law, and thus I wouldnt put it past this Govt to actively support employers who took that stance. |

Last week's stats - 93% of ICU Covid patients in the hospital my daugher works in were unvaccinated. Other 7% were one-jabbers. 0% double/triple jabbed.
She works in a large hospital in the West Midlands. |

Also the unvaccinated nhs staff should also work for no pay then get rid of them in April once the winter season is over. Make them face the consequences once winter is over. It’s the only logical thing to do isn’t it?'"
they already are dismissing them arent they? my employer is doing it and is a huge global company so I suspect they know employment law |

Oh well then, let’s get it in now then based off one hospital and one week of data |

Who’s to say they haven’t just done that for publicity, it’s a pretty non sensical and redundant rule really given the employees could just delete the app |

Might only be one hospital in a large city, but its a fact - unlike the spouted on twitter. |

Not suggesting what your daughter has told you isn’t true, just a meaningless piece of information isolated like that. Who mentioned Twitter? Not really sure what that has to do with it. |

If we accept the Morrisons of this world we are doomed.
A PE company who couldn’t give a flying shoite about anything other then turning their investment into a profit. They would sell their children to obtain a profit.
I wouldn’t touch their premises if they were offering a lifetime of free beer.
What should happen is make illegal to pay anyone who gets covid. Vaccinated or Unvaccinated.
Doesn’t matter what your contract says. Get covid no pay.
That’ll sort out a lot of people.
The majority of people with covid are vaccinated. |
