While i agree with other posters he should refrain talking about what he knows FA about and concentrate on playing rugby, i think Tony Smith is the last person who would qualify to educate him. I remember a press conference Smith did during covid when he not only refused to say how many HKR players were unvaccinated and actually refused to state his position in the debate, leading to speculation about his own views. Look like we have some budding CT's taking up the mantle on here. Shame.

So believing the vast majority of experts on a particular matter is being a sheep now is it?

Anyway, personally I think its a shame that he, like anyone, is peddling anti-vax stuff as I believe it to be a load of bunk however he is entitled to do so however much I may dislike it.

Let him say what he wants on the matter. If anybody is looking at sports people for role models they need to ask themselves a few questions.

Just a sign of lack of intelligence.

sadly its a sign of the times and for me it shows a level of nievity on the players behalf. He's only retweeting something but by doing so he involves himself in the debate and it gives others the opportunity to imply that he is taking sides. People in the public eye should consider their position very carefully and understand that they are constantly under scrutiny. The old adage of letting your actions on the field do the talking is a good one. I remember at the time thinking that although he was Rovers Coach Tony Smith got it spot on when he refused to comment on how many Rovers players had had a jab because that was their decision and he respected That, he also failed to comment on it himself because it was nothing to do with rugby and thus only his opinion. that was a good call and people in the public eye have to realise they are just that, always under scrutiny and always up there to be shot at. Storm in a tea cup for me. Only of course my opinion.

He was anti-lockdown and in favour of spreading the virus while a family member of mine lay dying in hospital. He can say what he wants. And we can call him a nobhead.

"Need to scrap this tier s*** and get us back to normal, we can decide for ourselves what risks we wanna take"

Nobhead.
