Apparently Cas and Saints close to having to call their games off at Cats and v Rovers respectively due to Covid.
Must have both picked it up after the game on Saturday and tested positive 2 1/2 days later. Quite unlucky considering all squads would have tested negative prior to the game and our group, along with the rest of the fans, had to show Covid vaccine certificates or negative tests to get into Wembley
Shame to lose another couple of fixtures. However, at least it would allow Rovers the chance to re-schedule their game at Cats this weekend.

I said last week that although ir would be controversial we should stop testing players unless they feel unwell then treat it as any other illness. If we dont we may as well write off the season as most fans are losing interest in the game fast

I agree, we should either extend the season, scrap the season or start treating Covid cases as an injury, especially now we’ve had Freedom day and the pubs/clubs are open again.
Seems odd that you can postpone a game due to Covid with 7 or 8 cases, however Hull have to play this week with 10 out, although four of those are long term injuries.
I’m glad we are playing this week and would rather play each week, even if it means having to have an Academy player on the bench.

Rovers will now travel to France Mike, as Saints have covid, not sure if it will be televised as the Cats are having problems with their tv rights. They’ll have to take Gwillam, and he’ll have to stay in for a couple of weeks when he gets back
