Test results have come out B positive, where B stands for Bisto

Pull out of what?

I'd have thought you'd have sussed what Karetaker was alluding to. Check the fixture list should you still require a clue.

The game versus Wire this Friday.

You don't get the option unless you are missing at least seven players. Not that I think we would anyway.

A little more detail here;

Seems that the players displayed symptoms and were subsequently tested positive (so safe to assume that these weren't false positives). The rest of the Wigan team are awaiting results of yesterday's testing, so there could be more players affected.

From a selfish point if view, whilst we're happy for Wigan to have disruption and unavailable players ahead of Friday's game, what we don't want to see are any Wigan players playing against us and then testing positive meaning that we'd have to isolate players for the Leeds game.

Leeds game now 7-45 kick off next Tuesday.

I think we should have respect for all clubs putting teams out in what is a close contact sport. Salford or Leeds will win the cup, A.N.Other team will be Champions but what is most important in this shambolic season is that Rugby League does enough to survive.

Government giving no help. Allowing people into indoor venues like O2 arena and the Albert Hall, but won't let people into an outdoor venue to watch sport.

Go figure.

The great outdoors should be much safer than an indoor arena, if precautions are observed, especially when amateur & lower league football can be played in front of crowds.

Was there people in the last night of the proms?

i saw the furore and bull about the songs but clearly i missed the evening it was on, assumed it was just muted like everything else is currently.

i didn't even know that catalans and wakey played on sunday.

No audience at this year's Last Night.

I don't think there was, though I didn't watch it to be 100% certain. Did see a previous prom a few nights earlier and that was empty.

Apparently though there are plans for attended shows in the lead to Christmas. Football authorities already kicking off and little wonder.

Well apparently track and trace says no Leeds players need to isolate, so the player who playes came in to contact with absolutely nobody

..........i don't get the requirements for how much contact between players has to be made for players to be made to isolate.
Does anyone know the rules on it?

Like most of the Covid rules, they are probably just made up as we go along, on the basis of absolutely no evidence.

For God's sake, don't ask the RFL.
They can't get consistency in their own disciplinary procedures. What chance have they got with this

A third Wigan player has now tested positive. Game still on.

Sitaleki Akauola, Matty Ashton, Blake Austin, Keanan Brand, Josh Charnley, Daryl Clark, Jason Clark, Mike Cooper, Ben Currie, Matt Davis, Anthony Gelling, Chris Hill, Jack Hughes, Luis Johnson, Toby King, Jake Mamo, Declan Patton, Joe Philbin, Stefan Ratchford, Ellis Robson, Gareth Widdop​

No Danny Walker & BBM. Lineham suspended still...

I would keep Ashton for Tuesday night vs Leeds (although I think Price will play him). I have a feeling Price won't play Sita so Robson may well get the last bench spot.
