In my opinion SL is going to have to change it policy very soon to one where if a player has been jabbed and tests positive he can still play provided he has no symptoms and is happy to do so, on the basis that transmission is much lower with a jab. In a normal season players will take to the field with coughs, colds, aftermath of dodgy kebabs etc there's always some risk of catching something, as long as it isn't serious or deadly it shouldn't matter. As a society we can stay inside wrapped up in cotton wool forever.

I agree, it can't go on forever as society will collapse completely. The major worry is if there's another variant which the vaccine offers you little or no protection which would be catastrophic. Happy crack aren't I !!

:shock: Jesus. Daily infection rates are rising exponentially - 20k yesterday. Looking very ominous. Good job Johnson acted quickly and closed the border with India or we could have been in real trouble.

didnt close it quick enough then let all the arrivals from India mix with other Heathrow arrivals until someone pointed it out and they opened a seperate terminal to keep them apart a couple of weeks later but that was too late.
Government has a lot to answer for this but seem to have dodged the bullet

Could be very controvesial if games in the last couple of rounds are postponed and unable to be played before the play offs especially if a team needs to avoid losing to make the top six.

Sounds like the Government is looking at lifting restrictions later next month and allowing us to live with Covid as a virus.

While cases have increased recently, the subsequent hospitalizations and deaths are not increasing at the same rate as previous, which suggests the vaccine is reducing the symptoms and and impact in most cases.

So perhaps sometimes soon, there may be no fixture implications on having Covid in the squad. As someone else said, it may just become a player is ‘ill’ with Covid and they return to the team when they feel fit enough (just like they would have done in the past after sickness.)

apparently a Salford fan posted on the Wakefield forum yesterday that the club never had any intention of playing Wakefield then us on Monday.
It needs looking into

We may have improved access to games but allowing us to live with covid gives it the opportunity to transform into another variety that may be resistant to the immunisation

There isn't really another option, staying locked down forever just leads to the country going bust and then how do we pay for the Healthcare then?

Its also harder to keep people locked down as time goes on, its human nature to interact. Id rather risk dying of Covid than spend the rest of my life sat inside bored.

Wigan also play twice before we take on Salford.

If they lose either Warrington at home tomorrow or Saints away on Sunday then we will be fourth by next Monday.

Promising so far.

Re: Next up Salford : Wed Jun 30, 2021 7:18 pm  

Could be a mullering this one tonight.
Wires and Saints to fight out the SL title this year for mine.

Hate to agree with the Sky herberts but when you've got someone who can hoof a ball like Austin its a massive advantage.
The times we can only manage to kick on the last from within our own 40 to only the oppo's 40 invites massive pressure on our D

Re: Next up Salford : Wed Jun 30, 2021 8:34 pm  

Up to fourth, then.
