Don't they check their temperature before games !!!?

Really hope this isn't self inflicted. It could have been caught at the game - Salford results etc will shed light on how it got in.

Really sad for the game & it seems our rules just ain't robust enough. NRL been going 8 weeks with hardly any cases - Super League can't manage 1 week with one entire squad out of action.

Track & trace team will be spreading joy to many sadly.

Do we know which players affected ? Hopefully all suffering minor symptons, if any.

Haven't you heard?
It's all about the economy, apparently.

Are they, only Ellis and maybe Connor and Sneyd spring to mind.

Sneyd lives West Hull village. At least he did last season.

Sneyd lives in Brough.
Connor in Huddersfield
Ellis in Wetherby
Josh Jones in the North-West I believe

How do we know that we haven't caught this from a Salford player, they inhabit an area of the country with local lockdowns in place due to the number of cases, whereas we are in an area with very low infections (albeit they could be untested like the majority of the country)

The problem for me lies in the fact we are only testing weekly. It should be daily. Player A tests negative on Monday. Comes to training on Tuesday and tests positive. He is then sent home for 2 weeks to isolate before he has contact with any other players or coach. It had to be this way. We can't expect our players to be in an isolation bubble, apart from stating they travel to training and home. Their partners work, do the school/nursery run etc. So the least we can do as a sport is test daily. It looks cheap and amateurish

Good man.

AP on Humberside soon

They think it has come from a players new born baby while in hospital. That player had some treatment off the physio and its escalated to others.

So sounds like Swift bringing it in from his baby giving to the physio who's past it on to other unknowingly, just hope everyone recovers ok

or JJ?

Yup.

Presumably MPhil12 will now admit he was foolish to jump to conclusions.

Not sure about that Mrs B, on the evidence seen at the weekend there wasn't a single FC player quick enough to lay a hand on the salford players

Cheers for the link!

He sounded pretty calm about it all which I thought was a good thing

Did slightly amuse me that despite the bad news coming out overnight, AP is still bristling about the performance on Sunday.

That’s the thing with keyboard warriors. They tend to be immature, at best. He won’t admit he was wrong.

think we need to be looking at this

1st MASK TESTED AGAINST THE NEW CORONAVIRUS, SARS-CoV-2

The face mask has successfully passed all the tests carried out at the João Lobo Antunes Institute of Molecular Medicine (iMM) in Lisbon making it the first textile mask capable of inactivating the virus that causes COVID-19.

are you seriously suggesting that professional athletes could wear a mask?

Presumably the Hospital concerned will have gone into lockdown I wonder if it is local. Hope all the players and staff recover quickly.

Kendo Nagasaki did.

You mean Peter Thornley, a staged act in a staged sport that makes millions from gullible Americans?

They are not comparable, in any shape, sense or form. You'll be saying 'intestinal fortitude' next Mr McMahon! and telling us that Stacey is really your daughter!

And i know you were joking, if it wasn't for all the blumin adverts on here I wouldn't need to keep editing.

Sorry I’ve always been a bit of a Lone Ranger.

Maybe it was not such a good decision to play three games back to back in one stadium. i understand Headingly has numerous changing facilities but all the teams come out the same tunnel, subs sit in the same areas and cross contamination is more of a risk. Separate stadiums would have allowed better social distancing.

Hope the infected players recover ok and their families or ok.

No
what i am saying is that we all should take note that a mask is or will be available that has been tested in the EU and certified that it will inactivate/kill Covid 19 on contact.
Unfortunately wearing masks in public places is going to be with us for many months and if stadiums are to opened for football and R/L in the coming months there are lots of people out there who need some confidence to start attending games.
Wearing a mask proven to inactivate Covid 19 as well as other virus will certainly be a confidence boost for many people
