Genuine question and interested in peoples view! Should toulouse and Catalan be playing any games in the UK?
They travel from France into UK play then go home! I would suggest playing against either team at home, the risk of covid transmission after they have visited is higher than going to them coming back and isolating
But in response to "precarious" position and covid, i have been fortunate to work constantly through the pandemic, folk i work with travel worldwide, they are all exempt from quarentine restrictions coming in to the country. With sensible precautions and protocols in place. So yep actually fully aware of covid issues.

Genuine question, is nothernbloke an AI bot trained on gobbledygook?

Re: Toulouse : Wed Apr 07, 2021 6:22 pm  

NB lots of us have worked through covid but we dont have to have our team in the middle of it

Re: Toulouse : Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:40 pm  

So not intetested in answering the question. Thats fine

Re: Toulouse : Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:58 pm  

Something to ponder then.
Travel away to toulouse, assume a commercial flight, airport transfer (public mixing) private coach to the ground play the game come home. Exposure to french general public very small. Coach driver, airport officials. Come home, isolate for 5 days.
Or Play home game against toulouse, toulouse travel, presume by commercial flight, airport transfer, private coach to and from the game.
In both cases french players have been mixing with general public at home.
The risk of covid transmission in both cases pretty much the same. Difference with the two is after coming back from france, squad isolate. So back to the last question do folk think toulouse and catalan should be regularly travelling and playing in the UK, they dont isolate each time they come into the UK, and dont have to isolate back in france.

Are the French no longer isolating for 7 days on their return from UK or has Macron given sports folk an exemption, genuine question NB?

So we lost 24-0 as judged by the RFL.
Respect to the Broncos for standing up for themselves. Despite being put on the naughty step.

We all know that if that was Bradford Bulls they would have been awarded the 24 points win just because of who they are. People despair at David Hughes and the way he runs the club but he must think sometimes why do i bother when the RFL consistently screw London over.
The RFL really need to look at the way other sports are handling the current situation and then look at themselves. To succeed in Rugby League there is only one answer and that is you need to have a northern postcode. I would have loved Toulouse to come out and said this is not right and decided to share the points.

The amateurs at the RFL have not got a clue.What London should do is give the RFl a load of fake track and trace results saying one of the team has tested positive and has been in close contact with the rest of the squad whilst at training. You only need seven players then you can postpone the game.
