Hang on. If he’s on furlough, how is he working for Hermes? That isn’t allowed

Thanks DC

If his contract permits,then yes it is allowed.

Welcome to the new cry baby society where everyone is a victim.

Any sane person wouldn’t need you to tell them that but in this knee jerk society indignation is the default setting for many.

The story as printed is nauseating. If only the people of Britain could spend one day each as a Syrian refugee in Turkey all this nonsense would end tomorrow.

That said by the time we add up the cost of Covid we won’t need to, Syria will be here.

Just because an article has been written and published does not mean it is the full story.
We do not know the facts and figures of his income and just as importantly his outgoings.

We have no idea how he spends his money or what he needs to get by.

I'm lucky as I am still working full time but also finding myself with extra money as the lockdown has certainly curtailed my weekly spend at Costa/Starbucks or other coffee supplier as the shops are mainly shut my impulse buying has bottomed out (probably not a bad thing).

Let Lee back up this story that suggests he's been badly looked after, with some actual information.

As for me my lack of coffee shops has saved me about £100 a month and as I'm out the habit now it will continue to do so, until I find something else to waste it on, that is.

My issue here is not so much with Kershaw, that’s between him and the club.

It’s the media, that line ‘putting food on the table’ as if he’s some Victorian labourer who can’t feed his family, for Christ sake.

It’s bad enough from Piers Morgan but when some tatty little trade rag gets self righteous over a guy who plays a game for a living then I’m not having it. This virus should have been a reality check, it’s been the opposite!

Bit same for me, but public houses as opposed to coffee houses. I've never been as well off week by week and I was not a great drinker. Even when pubs re-open I will not frequent as often as I did, prior to lockdown.

Just a reminder, I haven't got time to clean up rugby threads that get side tracked to politics and covid. Post it in the politics thread or you risk it being deleted

Re: Lee Kershaw : Fri Jun 26, 2020 12:26 pm  

Back to the post then. I thought Kershaw showed tremendous potential on his debut, but in all honesty, I've seen nothing since to convince me he will be anything other than ordinary.
I wish him well and we move on.
