Dragons NRLW coach Daniel Lacey has been forced to drop staff members as a result of the women's COVID-19 bubble protocols, labelling the NRL's biosecurity requirements 'over the top' | sarah_keoghan
Some players are taking leave without pay to meet the criteria, while others have had to walk away from the game all together. Players who work as beauticians were asked to take leave due to the close contact, while office workers were asked to measure out their desks and distance to colleagues.
Lacey said the logic of the women's bubble is flawed, as Studdon is still able to play for the Sharks in the NSWRL Women's Premiership. Her Sharks squad features a number of her fellow Dragons teammates, who she is unable to train with in an NRLW setting. Andy Patmore is on staff with the Dragons and works in a school of 950 children. He has been cleared by the NRL, alongside a player who works as a school teacher in a school with 450 students. But some of the office workers have been denied clearances, while a player who is an osteopath has been cleared.
