NRL biosecurity expert predicts players won't be forced to take COVID-19 vaccine

The NRL's Project Apollo biosecurity expert says because the vaccine is new the "side-effect profile" may mean some players do not want to take it.

Heslop contradicts Dr Norman Swan, who said that the vaccines are not based on live parts of the virus, so will be completely safe. I wonder if the nrl needs a new expert? The players are iffy already.

AFB is now another club's problem

 

[winnyason]

**** him grub human

 

[Kalvin]

The reason for his release (knowing that nz were a good chance of playing out of central coast again) and also his sentiment on Instagram thereafter his release all smells very fishy to me anyway! Assuming we are better off without him (off the field)

Meh

It was a bull**** excuse , all about more $$$$ and always was

And will always be players have a very limited opportunity to earn good money in there playing careers and if a better opportunity $$$ wise comes about they go.

Great player but clearly a flog, I am guessing Des wasn't happy with his attitude hence the quick release. I don't think Des likes having to go into bat for blokes that he doesn't respect and I assume AFB had one too many dickhead moments. Walker is heading down the same path.

He's beating on the door already...

 

[sheridanstand78]

I loved watching AFB play, he is a real talent. It is a shame that AFB is now counting his dollars in his new environment. Shame he left because he could have achieved some good things here.

I think his form and demeanour on the field became and issue and I would astonished if the events at the end of the Drugcastle game at Brooky sealed his fate amongst many of the playing and coaching staff when he defied DCE and gave the ref a gob full which not only cost us a key player for a 2 week ban it created so many negative headlines.

He is no longer our problem!

Loved him at Manly but now he is the enemy, so zero sympathy from me...I do like the Warriors though...probably the ONLY team apart from Manly I don't hate !!

 

[Shoe1]

Afb, the offer was in kiwi dollars mate!

Just another component of the de-Fultonisation/de-dickheadification of the team.

Playing out of Central Coast next year. Not bad for a bloke who wanted to get out of Sydney town. Even better we get them round 1. I hope he gets a touch up from our boys.

 

[Cameron]

Just because he’s a talented footballer doesn’t take away from the fact he’s a woman bashing grub. I’m glad he’s gone

 

[Red Pill]

AFB has payed his dues for his past sins. He earned his money and in the main did his job for Manly. I wish him all the best for the future and hope he avoids any kind of trouble. In saying this the game is blessed by having players of the caliber of Jake and Tom who both excel on and off the field. These are the kind of players that make you passionate about the game.

It simply wasn't for a change of scenery AFB but more so a change in his pay packet. AFB shouldn't try to hide the fact that money talks which made him walk. All the best to AFB but great outcome for Manly since it gives us close to that balanced side but still real ?? on the hooker spot.
