Pre-Game Manly v Tigers [Round 9, 2022]

[SeaEagleRock8]

Why would it?

Depends - the 2022 covid protocols were described like this in feb:

"The only mandated rule will be players or staff from the same club cannot congregate in indoor settings in groups of more than three".

NRL players get big win in new COVID rules

NRL players will be allowed to attend weddings, funerals and dine out with their families without seeking permission, with COVID-19 protocols to be relaxed.

I expect a cruise boat could be an indoor setting depending how big it is? The reason for the 3 person limit is pretty obvious and we all know the Covid record of cruise ships. I'd be surprised if the club gave the green light to something like this but all speculation for now I guess, just hoping there's nothing in it because this game was set to be a big launch pad for Manly's season.

And it was definitely the latter. I thought I'd have another look at Schuster's posts about it but they've miraculously disappeared.
Who'd be a coach?

I hope it wasn't an Elias family party boat, sabotaged manly prior to the game. Although maybe they lost their licence after the fatality.

Of course another explanation is that Koula and Josh felt a little "off colour" after the 21st, and couldn't front up for work the next day. They wouldn't be the first and I daresay they won't be the last.

My thoughts exactly.

I think he posted all the pics on his Instagram stories and those disappear after 24 hour or so.

It was a big party though!

I saw the party post originally ,I remember saying to myself "self , there appears to be not many of his team mates there TBH ,and I felt like he was a bit of a Neville no friends" .The only one I saw was Haumole and possibly Reuben or a Rueben look a like .Even though there was lots of kids and family etc

The fan posting on InstaTwitFace reckons he was there and there were 13 in attendance.

The item posted is now gone as I was going to go back and screen shot it but before I could do that he’d deleted it.

This is the joys of the “ new normal “ could happen to any club at any time

maybe it'll derail Storm or Panthers in week 1 of the finals, so one of them lose and set a collision course for the two of them to meet in the Prelim instead of the GF.
