Sheffield Steelers are now in Covid 19 Protocol

Somebody would get the short end of the stick there. We could play Belfast 6 times but ,say Cardiff could play them four. Wouldn't that skew the whole league championship?

I think the only way this would work would be to lose one fixture home and one fixture away to each of the other teams.
That would mean losing 9 home games for each team surely making the season unsustainable.
Looks like we will be stuck with quite a few mid week games which I personally don't find attractive, but the teams are stuck behind a rock and a hard place.

Skip through to 208:30 where the interview with Tony starts.. lasting approx 10 mins followed by an interview with Liam Kirk


At the moment the guys in team who are positive are in the region of 10+ its looking better every day, everybody taking Lateral Flow Tests every day...
PCR tests to everybody once placed in Covid Protocols.. which should last about 10-12 days.. at moment its looking like 3/4 back to training today maybe a couple more tomorrow and so on until end of protocols which for sheffield officially started on the 28th December..

I've not yet listened to the interview, but it's sounds like a little bit of positive news at least.

As I've mentioned already though, if we get off to a slow start with Belfast being the inform team we could find our self behind quite quickly.

Lets hope the guys recover well.

My French isn't that good, it's actually non existent so I typed it into Google translation.

Might not be 100% accurate.

It's covid related so I thought I'd pop it on here.
