Why was said Leeds player sent home from training on Tuesday with antibiotics if they suspect he has the VIRUS.

The said player isnt suspected to have the Virus, he's showing symptoms of it, the same syptoms can appear in a bacterial infection which Antibiotics treat. As much as club rivalry is clearly more important than a worldwide illness killing thousands...Lets just hang fire with the conspiracy theorys and give Leeds, and all other clubs who might face a similar situation in the days / weeks /months ahead, the benefit of any doubt eh?

without their star player and a vocal crowd , why would Leeds call it of without good reason

Re: RD 7 | Catalan Dragons (A) : Sat Mar 14, 2020 5:38 pm  

The player in question tested negative

Do you know i somehow thought he might. Something in my bones told me he wouldnt have the virus. Lets hope our Irish winger Jack O'Nory remains healthy once his sniffle goes away.

The fact that Spain has now gone into lockdown suggests the RFL might give us a more lenient penalty if any.

Leeds made the right call in not travelling but it wasnt their call to make. The goons at the RFL and Elstone at SL Towers are complete idiots for not making this decision for Leeds.

Leeds had good reason to pull out anyway, regardless whether the player had the virus or
Not. Travelling abroad now you will more than likely pick it up.

Any penalty from the RFL is entirely academic now.

Did Leeds consult with the SL or did they make the decision without getting approval first?
If they failed to consult then even if it was the right decision Leeds are at fault.
The argument is should we be refused we might have been stuck out there or the whole team would need to self isolate for 2 weeks.
But to refuse to travel without a discussion seems wrong unless i'm missing something.

they were in discussion from monday.

They must have spoken to the RFL as they issued a press release mentioning sanctions 1 minute after Leeds did on Friday. From that i guess Leeds didnt get approval to postpone the game and that is the issue.

Let's get the Leeds blinkers off here folks. Leeds had no right not to travel without RFL approval. Catalans should get the points and additional 2 point penalty would be fair imho
