It's no surprise really, the Aussie states have been fully locking down despite only a handful of cases, so the idea of sending dozens of unvaccinated people to a country with a potentially 100k daily cases per day seems terrifying.

Yet they're sending the RU team over and how many to the olympics?

Why not just vaccinate the players?

This has nothing to do with player welfare.

This is not a shock however very shabby the way it has come out. Clearly there are leadership issues within the RFL to get to this point and it does not reflect well for the wider game.Hopefully things settle down covid wise and actually next season if everywhere is opened up in the UK it may be an attractive place to play for players who have an urge to travel and have been unable to do so for a couple of years

I hope the RLWC still goes ahead just to show the Australian RL they dont own the game . They might think they're sitting preggy as big fish in there sporting backwater but they dont seem aware that they cant diss association football like they do Aussie rules and RU . I still think they are insular backwoodsmen country cousins. And I refuse to refer to them as The NRL .

I would go ahead with it without NZ/Australia.
Yes it devalues the tournament but why should all the other countries miss out?
Sod em at least it gives England their best chance of winning it :lol:

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

Good point.Unfortunatley the party in power in Aus have botched the vaccine rollout.Personally I think they should go ahead with the tournament. Regardless.If Aus or NZ don't want to take part so be it.

I’ve been coming round to that way of thinking too. Run the tournament, use it to showcase the women’s game and the wheelchair game etc. We may need to reach out to bring some new nations in I don’t know.

This is a mess with the government funding which has been acquired etc.
