It would be the obvious choice however it is rumoured Rocky has an antivax stance which would also rule him out.

I think Giggot will be used at 6 short term.

West Yorkshire rugby players seem to know more than world scientists about the vaccine.

Huddersfield fan on the VT quoting 6 1st team players not vaccinated
Yesterday I heard that the figure was 10 as of 2 weeks ago - Maybe it's 6 1st team and the other 4 are from the younger age bracket - or 4 have been vaccinated since.

Unbelievable that these guys are ruining a chunk of their career because of this. It’s a very short career and they will regret it. I get they are athletes and they look after their bodies so they are so precious about what goes in it, but you wouldn’t think that was the case seeing some of them in a pub on a Saturday night…

I know it’s highly unlikely, but I wonder if Toulouse could tempt James Maloney to go around again in super league? Obviously he’s still out in France so will be match fit. Would be a great story for the French derby too as a rugby league fan!!!

Can you not see the irony in your post?

And i suppose all the doctors and health professionals that are not taking the vaccines are just a bunch of dumb Yorkshire men too

Harold Shipman and Andrew Wakefield were also doctors who didn't have the same beliefs as many of their colleagues. Maybe the odd few that speak out are not always correct... Just a thought.

When did Harold Shipman ever "speak out". If anything he did the complete opposite.

True, but his views and actions were questionable....

I have mentioned Andrew Wakefield twice , now three times, in this thread, and I'm surprised no one has commented on his views re vaccines, which were far reaching and did a lot of damage.

There is a lot of information out there, we should all be wary what we read
