This is sheer bastardry.

They have left Sydney...a hotspot.

they were all (temporarily) based in Terrigal near gosford .. so I don't think it's quite in the hotspot (although I could be wrong ... I'm not exactly sure how far north of sydney they regard it to be a hotspot).

a revised match schedule for the next 4 weeks is due to be announced in the next few days ... I guess we'll find out then if players are isolating or not

There are no training facilities at Twin Waters Novotel. The potential for leak is there. Staff, drivers, people at whatever grounds they go to to train etc etc. But......I should not be reinventing the wheel, and assume there are Qld people on top of this in the Health Dept.

I wont harp on it any longer...
Suffice for me to say that the thread attempts to point out the hypocrisy
of the Qld state government when it comes to the treatment of footballers compared
to ordinary punters.....
Ill leave it at that....

The NRL has an agreement for special conditions during covid with ALL states that play NRL, not just QLD

Well yes,that may be so...but I think the key word here is "hypocrisy."
These special...umm..conditions...do not extend to people who need an
exemption to visit dying family members...
In fact it would appear that the Qld government has lied blatantly about this
issue......but what else is new...
Are we done now about footballers.....??

what lie? The agreement with the NRL is public information

These special...umm..conditions...do not extend to people who need an
exemption to visit dying family members...

nope, and most likely never will .... in any state.

The lie I was referring to is the news clip which showed an email
from the Qld Health Department stating that the applicants request
for exemption had been denied and the case was closed.
Jeanette Young stated in the news clip that the case was still under
review and was not closed....
Therefore someone is lying....
Probably Jeanette Young...
