audois Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Houles made it known that covid had closed them down for a week or more before the game against the Dragons. Springer was injured I think and Vaivia had only just recently arrived back from Down Under. "It involves matters much greater than drafting the new rules...the original and existing games have their own powerful appeal to their players and public and have the sentiments which history inspires" - Harold 'Jersey' Flegg 1933 "Just as we had been Cathars, we were treizistes, men apart." - Jean Roque, Calendrier-revue du Racing-Club Albigeois, 1958-1959 Si tu( Remi Casty) devais envoyer un fax au Président Guasch?

GeordieSaint Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Great news. Experience will be key for TO this year. The loss of Ford is less of an issue with Kheillerah back in play. Any confirmation if they’ve lost anyone else? If Vaivai, Springer et al are available, the disruption isn’t too great. TO may well remain competitive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got covid in January and so presumably proof of recovery is sufficient Only a 4 month pass. He still needs to be vaccinated for the future. And if he refuses to do that I am sure the club won't play him as it would be too much to invest in him knowing they have to change the team in 4 months time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 The pass will probably disappear before April just in time for the French elections when they will give us our freedom back just to show how well they handled the situation and convince everyone to vote for him again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) The pass starts 11 days after infection or recovery I think so that could be February to may/june Edited February 8 by barnyia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled Wiganer Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I hope against hope that Toulouse will be competitive, because looking at it now it is hard to see much reason to be excited about a competition with foregone conclusions at top and bottom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I think at the Dragons last week Toulouse only used 17 players and the Dragons 23/25. They will pick up some wins for sure in the summer especially nowadays when most teams fly in and out same day (Madness) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO won't foot the charter jet as it's too expensive. From a TO perspective they are going back to flying scutter air so will be spending the weekend travelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which SL club was in for Ford? By his own admission, he said he didn't want to conform to the covid & Club requirements due to it affecting his chosen lifestyle.

Once now 2 times a year, come on its either Super League or Mickey Mouse League 30 staff max for 3 nights including flights will be around 12/15K if a club moans at that they they really should not be in SL simple as that.

Smudger06 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 If its good enough for Manchester United et all to nip in and out of Europe ASAP then its good enough for all....... the flight is the most expensive part so cost not really a factor I don't think.

Paul You’ve quoted a fair few things in your time on here Paul without substance when asked so it’s quite reasonable to be challenged when saying it’s madness to fly in and out in a day. Clubs might just consider that player recovery is not as jeopardised as was once thought of the 1 day trips. They might also have considered whether players lazing around a golf hotel/club or hotel in Spain was good for retaining energy levels. Some clubs complained about the Mas DHuston noise levels from late events that were not notified to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Saints fly in and out in a day. It doesn’t do them any good, their record at the Brutus is atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
