No it would be better to follow the guidelines that have been put in place by the government - which as far as I can see has happened here. Everyone is being tested and everyone affected is now isolating so this localised outbreak can be contained as much as possible. Super League adjusts the fixture list to try and minimise impact further down the line, not sure what else can be done?

It was inevitable there were going to be positive tests at some point, there was in football despite the lockdown rules being much stricter back then.

You might like to know, but you have no right to know any names. If the restaurant had a record of who's been in and when, then you'd potentially be notified that you'd been close to someone who had since tested positive but that's as far as it would go. You would then need to isolate - tests are only available to the general public for those showing symptoms [urlhttps://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-getting-tested[/url

Worthwhile only frequenting places that take things seriously and make a record of your visit.

A valid point

It’s what the Government have been doing these past 5 months.

Hence why removing scrums because of covid 19 was ridiculous. It doesn't change anything.

The rules clubs have are clearly quite relaxed if players are free to go to bars and pubs.

Certainly not like the NRL. Wayne Bennett couldn't even go to dinner with his wife without being punished.

Shock horror, a Hull FC player thought it was acceptable to turn up to training having been to a hospital and displaying Covid symptoms. Completely avoidable given that player should have been nowhere near any FC member of staff for two weeks. They should be sacked and Hull FC should be fined. Harsh but if you want to reduce the chances of this happening again then it needs to be done.

So we now know one moron in the Hull FC playing squad went to a hospital and didn’t isolate despite having symptoms. So yes, fine them.

You wouldn't be saying that if it was a Rovers player!

All speculation at the moment and could have been any club.
The way this has been approached I suspect there will have been myriad breaches of guidelines by individuals at most if not all clubs and luckily no one got infected?
The facts that need establishing are who when and how it got into the FC structures? If it is as Pearsons statement then the player attending showing symptoms indeed has been pretty daft and shouldn't have been granted access.
Easy to say after the event.

Well, at least now the RFL/SL can lay down some strict ground rules for the players right? Like no going to pubs/bars/beaches etc, maybe look at isolation for hospital visits from now on.

The players need to act like it was still a lockdown (that never was) otherwise it’s going to keep on happening.

He plays for Warrington. Their management don’t seem to have a moral compass like the rest of the league do.

There has to be some common sense to the whole situation and I’m not just talking about in sport. Based on the supposed death rate, countless sportsmen should have died now who have contracted it. But they haven’t because they are fit and healthy.

Protect the vulnerable and get on with life. Nearly as many people died during this pandemic because of other effects of covid that actually died because of the actual disease.

If anyone is overweight you have had ample opportunity to lose weight since March and give yourself a better chance of beating this illness should you contract it. It’s not hard to lose weight. Eat less and move more. It’s really that simple. Obesity is a key risk factor for this disease. Unless you have an underlying health issue that makes it impossible to lose weight, you have no excuse for being overweight and putting yourself at risk. If you won’t lose weight for yourself, do it for your loved ones and stop being selfish. Do you really need that bacon and sausage butty on the way to work?

We can’t hide away for ever and we can’t expect sportsmen to lock themselves away for 24 hours a day either. They still need a life and as long as they don’t break any rules and stick to the guidelines I don’t have a problem with what they do

Well, if they want the sport to continue, the players will need to make some short term sacrifices. Otherwise the league will keep stopping and starting.

Also, common sense is lacking in this country. Starting at the top.

so called lock down has done you much good

you started off so well and gone into some bazaar rant about obesity

On radio 4 this morning some RL guy was asked, why did Salford and Hull shake hands and hug at the end. Answer: 'I agree they should not have been doing that.;.

They'd been beating the hell out if each for 80 minutes immediately prior. If they can't' shake hands', why are they tackling? These people: FFS!

I'd of been more concerned if they was kissing each other

A Hull Kingston Rovers supporter speaks:

That's soccer players.

Makes me laugh how they have gotten rid of the handshakes in football, but then they all hug at corners and free kicks.

It’s certainly shown me how selfish the British public can be.

Indeed and depending just how the Hull players have become "positive" may suggest how professional they actually are.
If RL cant get to the end of the season, it will certainly open the door for Toronto and frankly, they dont deserve to be in SL next season.

oh yes there it's fetched the worst out of some

Selfish and in some cases, thick as mud.

He/She is Saints fan. Get your facts right. Moral outrage is fine but it may be premature?
