Quote ="BumpyMcbump"Cas were unable to field a full team due to 'covid' rules stopping the fit players at the club not being allowed to play, if you only have 14 fit players and a significant portion of them are kids, that then becomes a player welfare issue IMO.
That the RFL state it's only senior players that are included in the covid rules to be able to have the game postponed not cancelled is a disgrace, if youth system players are unavailable due to the covid rules then surely that should be also considered when senior players are injured!
People stating that Cas have done miracles re getting players fit clearly have no idea regards injuries, 8 full days and still you don't know if players are playing through injury. Again it comes down to player welfare, force players to play before they are ready then look on in amazement when they break down, are out for even longer or worse sustain an even worse injury than the original.'"
So Huddersfield having to play 3 times in 12 days while having 6 on international duty, 12 out injured and a covid outbreak is not a player welfare issue then but Cas's was?
Everyone knows they played the system to save their players and be fresher as they expected to lose to saints so were happy to lose 24-0 to save there players, it's a farce but there is no punishment for this sort of thing to stop them.
