| Who posted the photo/video?
Most people posting like me are saying they've heard about it rather than seen it.

It was one of the players on Instagram (not sure if I can name players). The partner of one of the other players involved also put it on her Instagram (which I saw). One of the players involved has also been involved in another party which was shared on Instagram by their partner.
The stupidity is unreal!

| Quote ="vastman"I agree, it’s a slap in the face also to their team mates.
It’s not easy as a Trinity CEO and couch to be tough as we often depend on the good will of players more than most but their is a limit.
If we got rid of Fifita I wouldn’t weep a single tear. He clearly doesn’t want to be part of the team in the full sense of the word, he has an arrogance that once served us well but is now counter productive. To me there is no risk in letting him go because regardless of whatever he offers his new club he clearly is no longer willing to give it to us.
The rest are sheep it’s clear who the personality is. Get rid of him and Gigot as we have now done and I’ll guarantee you that at the very worse we won’t be any worse off.'"
To be honest I’m starting to get sick to the back teeth of players just seemingly thinking they are untouchable. It sends out an awful message to the fans, sponsors, media and our younger players. All of those involved were senior players and some are involved in this ‘Leadership Group’ we often hear about. About time they started taking some accountability and ‘leading’.
None of the players involved are irreplaceable in my view and if I were the players I’d be embarrassed. What did they think was going to happen. The sheer stupidity/arrogance/ego stroking or whatever it is of sharing it on social media is a kick in the teeth to everyone who is doing their best during the current times. I’m not saying for one minute that others/public/fans have 100% followed every rule. But to flaunt it in everyone’s faces is lunacy!
I’m just glad the club have at least acknowledged it and are looking to do something about it. One of the players involved should already count himself lucky after Vest Gate!

| Surely the well publicised footage will mysteriously make its way to the authorities and result in the police paying a visit to see the individuals involved at the club on Monday morning?

| Quote ="PopTart"Firstly, it isn't 'clear' who the ring leader is.
Nor is it clear who was there and what they were doing.
The pile on attitude of fans is as frustrating to me as what the players have alledgedly done.
When we get good news about stadium and a request to put a comment on the plans its like a tumbleweed thread. Something happens where players can be criticised the world is suddenly an outraged season ticket holder who feels betrayed.
Get a grip.
They broke a law that has an initial penalty less than a speeding fine.
They did something that is potentially harmful to others which can be handled with testing and isolation.
They embarrassed the club and gave us some bad PR, which the club have said they will handle and have clearly started doing so with the Gigot news.
I'm not happy with what they did at all. I'm happy that the club will handle it.
So the people who want to discuss it by all means do. I'll do the same.
The people who only want to come on and stick the boot in need to grow up a bit.'"
Again some of what you say is true.
Where you are wrong imo and being typically perverse is regarding the ringleader. Come off it PT, those involved according to every report I’ve seen from those who saw it has been confirmed so may I politely suggest you get a grip!
As Fifita was there unless everyone is fibbing he was almost certainly at the heart of it, he always is, he’s that kind of bloke. You claim to have played RL, if you have you will know that Fifita is the kind of bloke other players revolve around. They are not necessarily malicious but they do call all the shots especially where weaker personalities are concerned. If you don’t know these kinds of people then you lived in a bubble long before Covid.
He may not of issued orders or even instigated but you can be sure he soon became enthusiastically involved and almost certainly took the lead. It’s that from your best paid most senior player in terms of profile that makes it so wrong. Not just that he has form or doesn’t that count.
It’s actually the polar opposite of what it should be in truth. Fifita 31, family man and high profile player should be able to resist a beer. It should be Crowther or Jowitt who as young men you might expect to break rules, something they don’t seem to have done.
This is where you’re post mirrors how society in general has gone so wrong. You seem hell bend on defending the lowest common denominator. Whether it be troll posters or rogue players, it’s every time. Yet quality posters pack in posting on here because you’re on there backs constantly for stating the obvious truth regarding the above. I don’t think you’re malicious either but for heavens sake some things are simply obvious.
These players are not victims, the truth is out there on social media for all to see. They did that, nobody else and they should be punished in due course in whatever way the club sees fit. However to pretend the evidence isn’t damning and there are somehow some mitigating circumstance, give us all a break.
In fairness I’m now going to hunt down this video if I can to assure myself, I will let you know either way if I’m successful.

| Well that was fruitless, proved well beyond my social media skills.
If anyone has a link can they PM me please?
If I’m to go on a crusade of sorts I suppose I owe it to those allegedly involved to be totally sure myself.

| Fair play to the club for releasing a statement and actually look like they are going to be doing something about it.
Other teams have just brushed it under the carpet.

| Quote ="MOPSEY LIVES ON"vasty IMO some of these players are challenging the club, the coach the CEO and are showing no respect for the people round them whatever ones views on Covid. If the players do it once tell them it’s not on and a second time will lead to disciplinary proceedings but for goodness sake not the same players two, three and four times'"
Correct.
Once is bad enough, but when they continue to flaunt the rules of their bosses then that’s when more severe action needs to be taken.
Getting rid of Gigot is a good start but also a fairly convenient and easy decision to make.
It’s what happens next that will tell us if the club are genuinely looking to change the culture at the club.

It was on their Instagram story and only last 24 hours. Someone would have to video the story and save it. It’s probably all been deleted now anyway. It definitely happened though and I saw the video myself. The four players I saw have all been mentioned!

That’s the frustrating thing. It keeps happening. The GPS thing was the start of it all. Due to the idiocy of this people will now question what protocols were in place during the season. Who knows what the RFL will think too.
It’s the bigger picture of it all. I’m with you the next actions will tell me if we are serious about changing the culture at the club!

| For me this really is not about what the players have done. The club cannot live their lives for the. If they want to flout the laws then so be it. BUT and this is the BIG BUT. We all live by our own actions and like it or not if you are a sports personality then you are watched by far more people than that of a private individual and it is for our club to now decided what kind of club we want to be and look to being. Someone losing their job because of stupid indiscretions is obviously bad for them as people but that is purely their own fault nobody else’s. The club now has to show that it will not tolerate this anymore and if dressing room dissent was a factor of last years debacle on the field then this now offers the club a valid and right way to change the ethos at the club. A team of lesser player who all want to work hard for each other and play the best they can is far better than a team with so called big fish in that just can’t get stuck into the job at hand. Our best teams have always been the ones that on paper shouldn’t be anywhere near super league not one with quality player that end up here because they are shirkers.
Right or wrong, for me they all have to be sacked for gross misconduct. Tell that to the family’s of people who’s family members who have died from this awful virus. My best friends dad died 2 weeks ago from it go tell him that it’s ok to flout the rules. You may or may not agree with the rules and they may seem stupid at times but not following the simple rule of not getting together outside of work is basic and the players that broke this deserve to loose there jobs.
I truly believe as a club we will be stronger if we take a firm stance on this now. No more the tail wagging the dog. A good time and chance for the club to take back control of its own business.
Rant Over. That’s my take on it personally and everyone one is allowed theirs too.

| Quote ="Scarlet Pimpernell"I have not seen the video but I presume that the party was in a player’s house. I agree what they did was wrong but how many on here can say that they have not broken one of the many laws brought in since March. The players and their spouses are in fact lesser of a risk to the general public than most because they will be regularly tested and spend a lot of time in each other’s company both indoors and out. When they are in the presence of the general public I have no information that they do so in breach of the COVID-19 conditions of wearing a mask etc.
The biggest risk to them and those on here with children is the infections in schools.
I regret that I expect this type of noncompliance will grow among the general public because people are getting frustrated at what appears to be a worsening situation with no actual end in sight. I know we have the vaccine but even this is being questioned because of the suggested extension to the application of the second dose to three months. I even heard today that they were even thinking of mixing vaccines between the two doses.
We are not in a position to go around terminating contracts, which in this case would not be justified even for those with a personal grudge against specific players.
What they did was wrong but they will not be the last.'"
Agree with most of your post and you're right re the testing and mixing.
However, you are wrong about the mixing of vaccines. That will not happen.
