Pre-season started on the 19th so I'd presume they are all here.

Didnt the club give Bevan an extended leave as part of his new contract as he turned up last year in such good shape?

French and Hastings are still in Australia and are going to have to isolate for 10 days on their return.

I don't think that would affect them too much, they're training in Oz anyway and the season here keeps being moved back BUT starting to miss it now :( !

They're better off over there for training right now I'd think. No lockdown in Aus once you're in.

They are both in Aus until the end of Jan.

The 2 week delay to the start of the season means they wont be too badly affected.

Jai Field is currently quarantining in a hotel in Manchester. If i didnt know better it looked like the view was from the Lowry Hotel along the river irwell.

Better training on there own vs pre season with the team?

I think not.

Less likely to catch Covid but what they will be doing in Aus won’t get close to what pre season training does.
