bigbaldnmad Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 As it doesn't seem that his current stance doesn't break any UK laws, I am more than happy to have him signed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Shepherd Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 4 hours ago, Robin Evans said: If I refused a hep b jab, my contract with the NHS goes down the Gary glitter dave. It happens. There's reasons these laws were put in place and debated many many times over on the politics forum. The player broke contractual rules as well as the law in France. He has his reasons as to why which really don't interest me and are probably best debated elsewhere on TRL. MK is a good full back. Proven at this level. How his inclusion in the team is recieved by fans, players and coaches alike, will be played out soon enough. But let's keep it real. He didn't come out of all this very well. Maybe that doesn't concern him? C'est la vie ..... as they say in Rovrum I get that Robin. My reason for being so against a mandate for this disease is that the rationale melted away fairly quickly when it became blindingly obvious to everyone except those around the world that were pushing mandates, that the vaccine does not stop anyone catching the disease. And I say this as someone who happily got jabbed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Evans Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Pickersgill has minor damage to his knee ligaments sustained last weekend. If only our chairman had sign a class full back for back up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, as people are pointing out, he can't select which laws he wants to obey. Regarding his ability, from what I saw in the International against England he struggles under the high ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) Clearly, this should be on the politics sub forum, but since the discussion is carrying on here, this is from the NHS: Research has shown the vaccines help: reduce your risk of getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19 reduce your risk of catching or spreading COVID-19 protect against COVID-19 variants Hope that helps any non-believers Edited March 30, 2022 by JohnM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandOffHalf Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 (edited) 9 hours ago, Lowdesert said: TRL piece 6th Feb indicated TO were Kheirallah announced he was expected to leave. Kheirallah said he was ready to play on Feb 8th on his Instagram. This is what the TO President had to say in La Depeche. Feb 10. Mark Kheirallah's case is trickier. "It's more complicated" conceded Thursday, February 10, President Bernard Sarrazain in the columns of La Dépêche du Midi. "We had a problem, he cheated with us." reveals the strong man of the TO. Indeed, Mark Kheirallah would have obtained a fake vaccination pass and would have tried to use it with his leaders. "We tried to explain to him that we could forgive him in relation to his approach", continues Bernard Sarrazain, "but he refuses to be vaccinated. He also refuses to sign the repentance that he was offered and which was mandatory , by law. We are still in a conflict situation with him. But that will be resolved in the coming days." Mark Kheirallah's attitude would have greatly displeased internally, especially coach Sylvain Houlès. For this historic first Super League match, the club will also have to deal without Mathieu Jussaume, injured in the preparation match against the Catalans Dragons, lost 26-10 by the Toulouse team on January 26th. It's a bit tricky to make sense of that translation, but my sense is that he, ultimately, was sacked because he refused to be vaccinated. The club sound to have been willing to forgive the fake pass, but his unwillingness to get the jab soured trust. That's the way I read it. I may be wrong.

Snowys Backside Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Its Derek Beaumonts Fault that Kheirallah isn't Vaccinated !! Joking apart, Class signing for the Championship. I must say though that he would be distinctly average for SL though as would Jonathan Ford. Well done Fev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loathe to post such a post because it just sounds sour grapes etc etc. I hope you've read enough my drivel over the years to be able to discern the difference between a p take and a genuine post. Brian mcD in a coffee shop was asked by a good friend of mine circa 2019 why JF was never approached for SL. McD's response was surprisingly in tune with your assessment rather than mine. He really didn't rate him. Has a double pump one way and a decent boot but that's it. Crapola defence. I don't necessarily agree with his assessment but I do acknowledge McD has forgotten more about rugby than I'll ever know.

The double pump thing is bang on, it's his go to move and when it works looks great, but he seems to do it in every attack. He does look very lazy in defence in the games I've seen him in.

He played for Donny at Town and we barely laid a finger on him, just totally dominated the game and made it look so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford isn’t and wasn’t involved enough. Certainly a good player at Championship level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
