I've has covid in January lost my sense of taste and smell but felt well apart from pain in my hips and knees. My 2nd vaccination was 21st of June so I'm due a booster soon. I think most of the squad tested positive for covid so have the antibodies in them. Remember the vaccinations are to protect yourself and its your responsibility if you want it or not. Hope this helps

Mate, I'm not judging, I'm just trying to explain where this Rocky is an anti-vaxer idea may have come from. I've no idea if he is or isn't, it's not really my business but I reckon it's your comments from a few months back where the idea may have come from.

You don't need to confirm or deny by the way, as I say that's yours and Ryans business. I've stopped judging anyone where Covid is concerned as the whole thing from Government, NHS, media and so-called experts is totally muddled. I no longer think anyone can honestly say they can make sense of it all.

Still, he must now be the richest fan we have, maybe he can buy the club

I think it was said that when MC moved to CEO he started to receive a wage - and rightly so.

I can assure you he does not take a wage, and has never drawn a penny out of the Club

Fair play to MC - talk about dedicated.....
And, yet, posters on here still give MC stick.
F**king unbelievable. (Pardon my French.)

There you go, the CEO, whoever he is don't get paid.

Even more kudos, but it clearly isn't enough for some, maybe he should start paying the club for letting him work there. That was a joke before the doom-mongers take it seriously.

Could it possibly be his vaccination status. We have 2 games in France, 4 if we are unlucky on the loop fixtures, thats about 14% of games unavailable by choice, nevermind injury. With him being an anti masker, it is also possible he is anti vaccination.

Omg I've heard it all now you have a great imagination

How so? The Maths add up in terms of games potentially missed. He actively follows, likes and retweets Anti-mask material. I haven't said he is right or wrong, but that is very clear to see. Generally on social media, you only like or retweet something in order for it to gain momentum/enable a bigger following. It is a reasonable assumption to make therefore that he has these beliefs.

I've no idea either way but Mopesy posted something a bit back about not believing young people needed it or should have it, which caused a bit of a stit as he usually does and I think people may have added 2+2.

Right now in UK, not wanting the Vax doesn't stop you playing. That's the NRL rule.

But the original comment was that he was anti maker, and that it may be the reason he was not offered a contract.
I don't recall him being stood down for a game because of Covid, so he must have been following the rules back then.

As a suggestion for not offering a contract it's a bit weak.

He missed the first few games has he had a knee operation then played a couple of games and broke his jaw playing against Hull nothing to do with covid.

He will be missed but the club is forced to make difficult financial decisions and hands potentially tied due to contracts offered to some ageing injury prone players…
