Heard a rumour they were in trouble for not disclosing a first team player had Hep C.

Any truth in the matter?

i remember hearing something about that, it was pongia and he had Hep. B from birth which can be passed on through blood to blood contact, hes on some sort of medication to stop the risk of infection. hes not playing atm but he wants to continue with league.

The party line from the RFL .

Not entirely convincing maybe but the Pies appear to have played it within the rules.

as much as i hate the warriors, you cant call them dirty just because one player has a blood disorder, he cant help it, sure they shouldnt have let him play as its a risk to everyother player on the pitch which does make them dirty.... the ethics confuse me too much :? :|
