100 percent agree with this, the reality is an awful lot of people have continued working throughout COVID. Many in low paid jobs without which society cannot function.

The joke here is the people who Allegedly can work more effectively from home - like government officials, civil servants and teachers. Wages and pensions unaffected whilst most of the rest of us are struggling.

I wish the players and family well, but the risk to the players is actually more or less none existent. I get that some members of their families may be at risk and it can lead to spreading but realistically what’s the alternative to trying to get the games on ?

How can the game go ahead when we haven't been able to train. We already have 3 players unable to play due to contact with covid carriers plus loads of injuries. The game is already an unfair contest and why are we always playing at the other teams ground ?

Surely this boils down to money, or the lack of it in our case. Look at Cricket, all players in bubbles and what happened to Jofra when he broke the rules? Contrast this to what players in our sport are 'allowed' to do.

Ultimately whilst nobody wants anybody and their family to be ill, these are young, fit men at their pysical peak and as such ar probably the lowest of what is already a very low risk. As has been mentioned further up the thread, there is little difference to the millions of people who have no option other than to work in an effort to keep their companies affloat, their industry operating, their families fed and the world turning.

Do you not read replies to your (boring) posts???
As someone said previously - and I'll say it again.
"The season has to be completed to ensure the clubs receive money from Sky."
Hope that [ifinally[/i sinks in......

I presume when those that have returned to work they do it with social distancing requirements or PPE. These are not options available on a rugby field.
I agree they are fit and not in an high risk bracket but this does not guarantee they will not suffer long term effects from the virus. I don’t know what type of test they use but I believe at StHelens a member of the none playing staff tested positive forcing others to go into quarantine. They then did a retest only to find out it was negative so they had to do it again to see if it was the first or second test which had produced the wrong result. This third test I presume was the more accurate nasal swab but these can take several days. The outcome was that the first test was incorrect but several had been in quarantine for several days including the coach.

I would suggest you address that question to SL & Sky - not me.

I regret the decision to play Warrington was ours.

If it weren’t for Sky pulling the strings, I’d imagine that the season would be cancelled. Unfortunately they want their money’s worth, which is understandable, even if it causes the fixture list to get congested.

Ultimately, it’s a “damned if they do, damned if they don’t” situation for the clubs. So stop using it as a stick to beat the club with!

Does anyone know if you cancel your game due to Covid and it is therefore not transmitted, do you lose a Sky payment?

Simples cancel the season then cancel your love of wakefield trinity because we would not survive...people have worked through the pandemic so why cant rugby players (who are in the bracket of wont be effected by the virus )any different.
