Keef will provide us with the answers.

Apparently some players in Leeds pub after match.
Pubs are perfect for spreading coronavirus.

As opposed to sweating all over each other for hours a week training and on match day.

Yes but the players were doing the hokey-cokey in the pub, shaking it all about.
Bloody awful if true.

I read their post to mean that's maybe where it entered the squad as opposed to spread within them.

Lol Keef is asking if he needs a hammer and chisel, must be writing his memoirs.

Has CV19 finally done for the whole season.

They looked lethargic...but we have seen them look like that many times over the last couple of years long before Corona. Id like to think if any of the players were showing even mild symtoms of any of the symtoms theyd have been stood down.

We've had times before when the club has had a bout of 'stomach bug' and it was all touch and go who'd make the squad...last week wasnt like that, club were clear all week it was a full strength squad except Taylor. Makes me think the infection occured at the weekend and the players are only showing signs today.

They'll be fine, and a positive test likely to be a false positive at that, as most are, is no indication of performance drop, it would have shown up in training right so there's no excuse for that awful performance.
The players in the age range have going by current NHS England figures a 1 in 8.75million chance of dying WITH a virus mentioned in the death certificate, that's not dying FROM a virus which is totally different.
To put that into context, people in the players age group are many times over more likely to die in a car crash.

I'm sure players/staff will be worried because they have no idea of the chances of actually being seriously ill from this, it's so remote to be not worth worrying about, you may as well never walk down the stair seeing as you've more chance of dying from doing that as well.

Last year there was many thousands more people dying from respiratory diseases, no-one batted an eyelid, or the year before or any other year when we had more flu/pneumonia deaths. Ppeak of the so called pandemic was 50% lower than for 2015 peak flu season, at this time of year the threat of serious illness is extremely remote, it's factually far less than any other year according to the governments own data.

“People on here seem to think that if we want him we'll get him. Same with players. If only it were that simple”

This is a nail on the head moment. Exactly, and why would Ian Watson, Daryl Powell etc want to come ? It’s a big enough job to take on before you start ridding the team / club of the ingrained attitude issues. I think the players fall into the trap that some fans do, ‘we’re Hull FC, we get what we want when we want’. Someone earlier mentioned Fonou’s hair, I personally think it’s an ego thing, ‘look at me, they paid big bucks for me, I’m special’ Another example I’m not comfortable with is, and this is going to be controversial, Ellis saying “I thought we’d be the team to put fifty plus points on a team” ... why ? I think team, fans, coaches, whoever need a reality check and bringing back down to Earth. This whole attitude of ‘it’s alright to be late, turning up for meetings late etc’ that Last alluded to also makes me think there’s a big ego attitude that needs stamping out - I’m assuming Shauls bleached hair is some sort of fine ? So he broke the rules already and basically stuck two fingers up to Last and his new regime Pre the announcement that half the team have got COVID earlier this evening, they would beat Cas handsomely and that would paper over the cracks until the next big defeat. And this whole Covid announcement, has someone blatantly broken rules (another ‘I’m invincible and can do what I like’ example) ? Out drinking in a COVID hot spot after the match ? This ramifications of this announcement could have an impact of the reputation of the club. What’s the answer ? Who knows
