Watson states we have a vaccination rate of 83% so a few are going to miss out the first game against Toulouse.
Puts us at a disadvantage as we have three games scheduled away in France this season, the next two in June/July. Potentially we could have this stipulation on us as a team whilst others may not if this is lifted later in the season.
If this figure is based on just first team players that means we have 6 players unvaccinated, so we will have 6 players unavailable through being unvaccinated alone. Let’s hope we get no injuries next week!
Eyes will be on this game as a marker to see how both teams may fare this season, let’s hope we have a good start.
Be interesting to see how we line up- although the 6 missing may dictate that somewhat depending who they are.

Watson has said rule should be in place all year even if France remove restrictions. I agree it’s already a lopsided competition as it is with loop fixtures. Teams who play later in the season shouldn’t benefit from lifted restrictions if it happens.

well he would say that wouldn't he!
To expect the rule to stay in place I don't think is realistic, TBH I'm a little disappointed in our percentage maybe the club could have done more to encourage and educate the players. The disadvantage is in the fact that we have players unvaccinated not that restrictions are lifted or not.

Think they are educated the ones not having it since the amount of heart problems that come with it is shockingly high.

I keep hearing and seeing this being repeated, what heart problems? over 80% of us are vaccinated and I don't know anyone who has developed heart issues as a result!. Myocarditis is more common after covid than it is after vaccination. Its something the researchers have been looking at in the asymptomatic since the start of this thing -
about 3 in 100,000 develop myocarditis from the vaccine compared to 11 in 100,000 from covid. (i do know of two people still suffering long term effects from covid)
5 people have died after having the vaccine. 150,000 have died after having covid.
-and if you look at the statistics the educated are the ones more likely to be getting vaccinated....

That’s the covid world we live in

Wigan played every game last year when other clubs where cancelling left right and centre.

Warrington, St Helens and Leeds in 2020 got the benefit of playing games in there home stadium (even though no fans), a benefit other clubs didn’t have.


Just got to get on with it. Not sending unvaxed to France even if restrictions are lifted would be madness.

Unlucky for the giants and other teams who suffer but it’s tough.

We will just have to play to the rules as they stand on Saturday. If things change during the season and the rules are relaxed in France about unvaxed players then there is nothing we can do about it . We just need to get our heads down and put out our strongest team and hopefully come away with a win

The positive is its the start of the season, we have a strong squad with plenty of depth and we have no injury worries. Providing both Levi and AOB are vaxed (im guessing Levi is as he was pictured at the stadium soon after arrival so no quarantine) I see no issues with putting out a very strong side.

What a crock of poop .
The risks from vaccine regarding heart problems is minuscule compared to the risk of heart problems from getting covid .check some scientific journals for details rather than your mates Facebook page.

Research published in nature magazine makes it clear that covid also leads to a massive increase in heart attacks months after having covid

PEOPLE who had coronavirus in the last few months could be at risk of fatal complications, experts have warned.
New research has found that people who have survived Covid-19 are 63 per cent more likely to suffer a heart attack – irrespective of pre-existing conditions and age.
People who have previously tested positive for coronavirus are at higher risk of developing certain heart conditions, experts have warned
The paper, published in Nature Medicine, shows how important getting the vaccine is when it comes to protecting our health.
Millions of people have now received booster vaccines and health experts have repeatedly said that jabs are the best way to keep everyone safe from Omicron.
Omicron has been found to be milder than the other variants that came before it and the new study, by experts at Washington University in St Louis, US, focused on the first year of health after contracting Covid.
This means that study participants would have likely been suffering with the original strain of Covid or the Alpha strain, which was discovered in December 2020 in Kent.
The experts stated that there was an increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in those who were not vaccinated.
However, the majority of people analysed for the study contracted the virus before they had a vaccine.
Analysis of 150,000 Covid-positive people found that the rate of conditions such as coronary disease, strokes and heart failure, was noticeably higher in those who were infected compared to those who had not.
The researchers said that this difference was also visible in people who had mild cases of the virus – so may not have been hospitalised with the bug.
In order to compare, they looked at the results of the 150,000 patients against 11 million people people who never contracted the virus.
The experts said that Covid can linger well beyond actually being infected.
The risk of heart attack increased by 63 per cent after Covid, and the risk of suffering from coronary artery disease or a stroke, was higher at 72 per cent and 52 per cent.
