Has fox stated that players will be stood down? I thought all they had to do was to sign a waiver?
Sorry just read the article and yes fox has stated that, the SMH stated yesterday they could just sign a waiver if they were antivaxxers.

ANTI VAX PLAYERS PUT NRL RETURN AT RISK
The preference of some players to not take vaccinations threatens to put the NRL return on May 28 at risk.
Biosecurity protocols include flu injections, but there is a concern that there are a number of players that are anti-vaccinators, which puts their participation in the revamped competition in doubt.
“That will be a decision for Dr Bloomfield, who is head of medicine for the NRL,” Phil Rothfield said on The Big Sports Breakfast.
“Some people are against it and particularly their wives with new born babies.
“Most Doctors will tell you that is a really irresponsible position, but they are very strong on it.
“I disagree with it. If they refuse it is going to be a problem for the NRL because you just want to cut out the risk, particularly over winter of players getting flu like symptoms and mixing with other players in this crisis.
“It is going to be a big call for the NRL. They are going to have to look at other options with these players and keep a record of players that refuse to take an injection.
“I don’t think you can make them do it if that is the way they feel. Maybe they will have to be stood down, I don’t know. But it is a problem for the game.”

Nobody was being forced to get the flu shot before this covid19 rubbish.
So can we just get on with the game
So can we just get on with the game
NRL players are back on deck and so are the game's endless contract talks, with more than 180 off-contract players able to plan for their futures again.
The NRL has confirmed that contracts can be registered once more after a six-week hiatus on new deals during the period the competition was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Stars including David Fifita, Jake Friend and Cameron Smith are among those who had contract negotiations put on hold in that period.
The NRL's advice delivered to clubs, players and managers on Monday has coincided with a resumption of training ahead of a proposed May 28 restart date, however, any new deal must come with a clause regarding the potential lowering of the game's salary cap.
Any reduction in the salary cap would require an agreement between the NRL and RLPA.
The NRL has indicated that in signing a new deal, players must agree to a clause where their wages are reduced by the same percentage as any lowered salary cap.
Across the game, there are hundreds of contract matters to be sorted, with the likes of Moses Suli having offers from both the Dragons and Manly on the table for 2021 and beyond, while Tyson Frizell's shift to Newcastle next year can also now be finalised.
A short-term Raiders deal for Jordan Rapana can also now be lodged after the Kiwi international returned to training on Monday with the NRL's permission.
Brisbane will look to sort out several player options held for next season, with Anthony Milford, Jack Bird, Anthony McCullough and Jake Turpin all needing to act on clauses in their respective contracts this month.
The Rabbitohs have already enacted options for Latrell Mitchell and Jaydn Su'A to remain at Redfern in 2021.

It was two days later that my wife got her results when she was tested for covid (came back negative).
Is that the length of time it has taken other people? Roughly? Because I'm thinking if the NRL boys get their results back quicker than average, whatever the average is, then that again will look unfavourable to the NRL, like they are being given special treatment.
‘The NRL has indicated that in signing a new deal, players must agree to a clause where their wages are reduced by the same percentage as any lowered salary cap’
‘Players on development contracts will be available to play as soon as the competition resumes on May 28, easing the rule that required an NRL exemption for them to be named before June 30. NRL.com
Both seem pretty smart to me. They’re also discussing whether the June 30th cutoff date will be changed to a later date or not

Okay, good so results are pretty quick now.
Although I think very little of Mitchell, the man's character has taken a beating recently, hope he and the others don't have the corona. That's not good for anyone.
