[quote="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo"]I haven't seen the word Furlough since The Phil Silvers Show back in the 60's. Who's dug it back up?[quote]
It's resurfaced with staff not being able to work in these circumstances. Newcastle Thunder furloughed their players and staff a few days ago.

Aren’t Featherstone players part time not salaried staff, I’m no expert but surely there situation is different I that most have other main jobs?

Those players you would imagine that have other jobs will more than likely have been layed off from those said jobs some of them anyway, so maybe that's why they have been furloughed, an absolute nightmare for the government to sort out.

Same here, know how she feels. Having said that, when I’m at home like many others, I like to get out and do stuff so at least I’m occupied for the day at work

When I was a kid in the early fifties we used old copies of the Daily Mirror. I was the only kid at school walking round with a photo of Clement Atlee on his a**e.
