Manly may "covid bonus" their way to the Gf...!
Such idiots.
However, if you were a player not at the party are you:
a) Happy you obeyed covid restrictions, or
b) A little bit sad your team mates had a big party and you weren't invited?
If players are stood down, say for two games, can the club take 2 games worth of contract payments from the players? (my guess is nope).
Often in the NHL if you're suspended, the pro-rata amount of your contract is taken from you and put into the players welfare fund.
