Heard today that Ben Cockayne has come down with it, not yet sure if true but no reason to doubt source, I know the bronco's had a problem in Aus with the virus. But if this latest rumour is true ( and as yet it is only a rumour) hope he's OK.

it's certainly in the area. a kid at my daughters school has been confirmed with it, and there is a case at a school in Beverley aswell apparently.

A pupil at my wifes school has been diagnosed with it and half the parents in the school have kept their children off this week. Worrying times.

I should clarify that my wife is a teacher and not a pupil!

Thats worrying, he walked right by me in the stands on sunday.

and there was me wondering if you were from Utah

He played for the reserves on saturday or are they immune from getting it

Well he doesnt live anywere near here so hed be the least likely person to get it from round here really, but dont know how bad swine flu is in the cas area...

Where you live doesn't make that much difference.

Didn't this strain of swine flu start in Mexico and it isn't only mexicans who have it.

Hopefully if it's true he'll only have a mild strain of it.

One where I work, one where my son goes to school plus a friend of ours. I think September will be the time to really worry when all the kids go back to school, reckon it could get quite widespread then.

That sounds about right Trace, late August, early September . We have plans in place at work to try and cope with it, IF it happens.

Someone had better inform Justin urgently!!!!!

Glad its not just me that feels the need to clarify "picking my wife up from school" isn't as pervy as it sounds.

***POINT DIS-PROVEN***

He has not got swine flu, just asked a friend of mine (a player) and he rang him up, charlie ed himself laughing.....

Did he tell your mate whether or not he was playing tnite??

i didnt ask im affraid.

I do know if hes playing or not, but dont want anyone looking at this to give them an advantage, procautions and all that just incase

Ive heard it all now !!!

Just typical the goverment has us looking to the east for a chinaman with a bird & we get caught by a mexican with a bacon sarrnie!

Very good

the 'experts' reckon there could be 100,000 cases diagnosed a day in middle of August

my son as had it for the last week , he,s on the up now tho !

Swine flu is only big news again because the MP's Expenses scandle has finished. The threat , though a real one , is still the same as a few weeks ago.
