To'a and Sasagi have been cleared to resume training with their teammates after the Knights first reported their attendance of a local rugby league match – and a possible breach of NRL protocols – on Sunday.
The NRL Integrity Unit's subsequent investigation found"the level of COVID risk exposure for both players was negligible", with the game's Project Apollo committee approving the lifting of To'a and Sasagi's COVID-holds. To'a debuted in round 25 last season and made his first appearance for 2020 in last Saturday's 44-4 thrashing of Wests Tigers.
Sasagi, 19, is yet to play in the NRL but is highly regarded as a five-eighth after scoring four tries in a 35-minute Jersey Flegg debut last year.
So this decision by the NRL Integrity Unit is basically saying that it's ok to break the bubble if the level of COVID risk exposure is negligible.
Knights Did I miss something? Did these players go outside the bubble and break guideline rules?
Knights Nothing like a completely vague set of guidelines that keeping changing to enhance the credibility of the comp.

Hospitality industry lobbies for rent relief amid COVID crisis | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian Hotels Association is lobbying for state governments to allow pubs, cafes and other venues with a turnover under $50 million to defer paying rent for up to another six months. \n\nSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said the industry was concerned many outlets wouldn't be able to pay rent any time soon due to the COVID-19 crisis. \n\n“Essentially, Scott Morrison got agreement earlier in the year from the states through National Cabinet for them to agree to a code of conduct which allowed commercial premises to defer their rents until September or October, depending on which state it is,” Mr Clennell said. \n\n“Under this arrangement, as it has been explained to me, if a business was down to 20 per cent of its business because of COVID restrictions, it would be up for 20 per cent of its rent with 40 per cent deferred and another 40 per cent wiped by the landlord. \n\n“There is no guarantee that, most likely apart from Victoria, that this form of deferral\u002Fassistance will be retained. \n\n“Some venues from September\u002FOctober will be hard up paying their monthly rent, let alone their deferred rent. '\n\nMr Clennell said the AHA was urging state and federal governments to ensure this rent relief continued until the JobKeeper program ends next year. Shouldn't the world start at making the world bank defer repayments. Better still wipe all debt and close down And who bails out the landlords or covers their costs? If they're going to stay on lockdown per Gov't orders, let them not pay for 6 months.

Yeah locking up the family of old people to stop them from getting visits was a poor choice

Women arrested at Noosa shopping centre, accused of arriving from COVID-19 hotspotJUST IN: Two teenage girls accused of entering Queensland from a coronavirus hotspot have been arrested at a shopping centre. 9News You misspelled “children” 🙄 No faces shown, obviously - because they're white (unlike the two women from a few weeks back) Charges might not be laid. 'Supt Hawkins said it was possible the teens 'maybe don't understand the full criteria' of the state's border restrictions'. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Makes me wonder who they're connected to if they're receiving favourable treatment.
