What irks me most about this is that they are coming off a win against the Warriors, who have been living and working in another country for a while now. Shows complete disregard for the sacarfices they've had to make.
I can forgive the individual cockups - but when a whole team agrees that it's a good idea to flaunt lockdown by having a f**king party - it doesn't sit right.
Yep.
At some point they would have been clearly informed of the new Covid protocols. And then at a point after - a conscious decision was made to break those protocols by not just one player, but a dozen of them. There's no excuses.
While it was held at Vaughan's house - it doesn't mean he was a "ringleader" necessarily. But this is the 2nd time for him, it's just baffling as to what his thought processes were. They are all guilty as each other IMO.
There's a distinct sense of of a holier than though / "up yours" mentality about this..... "we can do what we want" etc. I'm glad they got found out. And should long suspensions/big fines result for all - I'm fully supportive. Even despite selection headaches that may result..
Teams like the Warriors - and indeed the Storm have been out of home a vast majority of the last season and a half. (Apart from an issue with Christian Welch, swiftly dealt with) These clubs have respected the necessary protocols - under far worse (more tempting?) conditions than clubs who have been able to remain local/at home etc. Yet these Dragons did what they did.
Wonder if it was the first time, or just the first time they got caught....
It's not necessarily the crime of the century but given the situation - couldn't be less proud of my club right now (yes - it wasn't the club - but many players in it who've offended here. But they represent the Dragons).
