Over in Aus back packers was in danger of losing their visas, imagine if the same happened over here with this lot

Embarrassing

Exactly.

A one off is maybe excusable.

To continue to just defy the rules and regulations isn’t.

Talk of “education” makes me laugh these are grown men! How many times do they need educating?

I just wonder what the rest of the squad that stuck to the rules think of their team mates that flaunted them in the faces of the loyal fans.

Can imagine most involved will get a fine. However, given his previous antics I think it’s quite clear a change of scenery might be best for Fifita.

If I was Wakey I’d be looking to do a player swap. However clubs might not be as reluctant to want him given the constant issues.

I wonder what the Wakey fans feel like who bought new season tickets and donated Last years season tickets money.

I have not seen the video but I presume that the party was in a player’s house. I agree what they did was wrong but how many on here can say that they have not broken one of the many laws brought in since March. The players and their spouses are in fact lesser of a risk to the general public than most because they will be regularly tested and spend a lot of time in each other’s company both indoors and out. When they are in the presence of the general public I have no information that they do so in breach of the COVID-19 conditions of wearing a mask etc.
The biggest risk to them and those on here with children is the infections in schools.
I regret that I expect this type of noncompliance will grow among the general public because people are getting frustrated at what appears to be a worsening situation with no actual end in sight. I know we have the vaccine but even this is being questioned because of the suggested extension to the application of the second dose to three months. I even heard today that they were even thinking of mixing vaccines between the two doses.
We are not in a position to go around terminating contracts, which in this case would not be justified even for those with a personal grudge against specific players.
What they did was wrong but they will not be the last.

Over the new year loads of sports players have been reprimanded for breaking COVID-19 guidelines, think a fine and telling off are the norm in these unprecedented time’s. They’ve been daft and let themselves and the club down but bet they’re not on their own.

Up the Trin

Feel like they’ve been daft but don’t get rid they’re good players that can win us matches.

If the management at the club shares your opinion this will strengthen the culture of players thinking they run the show.

If it was the first indiscretion then I agree a fine and a warning would be appropriate.

We know in some cases it isn’t their first or even second discretion though.

At some point to get control back the senior management team have to be prepared to take decisive action or we will forever be in this cycle.

The ideal time to give the captaincy to Jay Pitts. he was captain at london, he is a local lad and has the respect of most of the players.

Could you enlighten me with regard to these other 'indiscretions'.
