It's on the back of the T&A today. He's apparantly been medicated and will be out for a few days. I'd expect him to miss the 1st game against quins but hopefully he'll be back for the away game.

I hope he read the flu friend info that Bullseye posted a few weeks back.

I hope you all have. I don't want to be infected by some daft git who ventures out and spreads germs everywhere.

You are all going to get it at some point, it's inevitable. Why not hold a flu party to get it over and done with?

Everyone could nip round to Steve Menzies' house.

I've already had it. So I'm immune.

I'm just getting over a bout

Thankfully it was relatively mild, although I'm not sure I'd have wanted to be playing a rugby match at its height! I'd expect Menzies to miss at least one game - but to be honest we should be able to beat Quins in their current run of bad form

Dirty mexican pigs!!

or is it not the pig lovers we should be cross with?

So just what was Platt thinking of spreading swine flu about the first team!

Might have known that Platt would get the blame......

Whilst he's resting for a few days, I have no problem if he fancies calling round at Headingley, just to spend some time with the boys over there

The League Express Twitter this morning says that he's expected to be fit to face Quins on Sunday

I wouldn't be surprised, he is a fit bloke. He will get over it pretty quick. And if he coughs on some of the Quins players in the scrum, even better.

Might be better getting him to spend some quality time with Deacon this week.

TBF how would you tell if Deacon had it or not?

''after a suspected swine flu scare''

Lol.

The media always dramatize everything. A cough and a temperature for a couple of days is hardly a scare.

The reality - A couple of school kids get a few days off for a cough and a headache, it's swine flu.


......

What the papers report - Frantic parents were today calling for action as their kids catch the DEADLY virus and are FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES.

The government has estimated aproximatly 1.6 trillion people will die from the slightly worse than a cold bug, in the uk alone.

......But have urged people not to panic.

Why, oh why didn't he catch it ?

He just palmed it back into the in-goal area instead.

You'd have thought rooming with Menzies would help him deal with that problem.

Where it was promptly knocked on by any Bulls player quick enough to react.... so thankfully no-one caught it.

Pretty weird, when you think of it

"Night, Rikki."
"Night, Beaver."

I reckon it was more :

" G'Night, Rikki"

"Sweet dreams, Beaver"

Classic

How much trouble will Rikki be in though when he gets back and tells Mrs Rikki (if there is one) that he had Beaver in his room last night though...
