This topic is going to be up for much discussion again. The Premier League have this week reported a record number of cases and thats with their players living in la la land in mansions away from Joe public, not like our players who's partners and kids work, shop in supermarkets and go to normal schools making the risk of catching it higher.
If there is any risk of the start of the season being behind closed doors or hit by multiple player absences then for me they should knock the stupid loop games on the head and start a month later, when in theory more people are jabbed and the weather is better (meaning people are outside more)
If things keep panning out the way they are I think we're set for lockdown after Christmas. Sport cancelled for a while. It'd be a disaster for RL and particularly the World Cup, I think that's highly unlikely to happen now. The Government has been so beaten up by the media and Labour that they're doing the opposite now and panicking as soon as possible. Omicron might turn out to be very minor, but they are still going to massively overreact every step of the way now.
There comes a point where they will have to ignore covid and hopefully this is it. If it doesn't produce deaths or hospitalisations sufficient to drown the NHS then we have to move past it. It's not going anywhere. If it does I think we'll see the end of RL as a professional sport next season. But we'll probably be able to watch the riots as if they were sport to see which cities burn each night.
