Pat Lam challenges Steve Dimond to find comments where PL crisitises Sales CoVid compliance (there's a case of beer on it):

Dimond has apparently had a pop at Lam, Solomons and Monye for their comments about Sale and it's CoVid out break.

Pat Lam, paragon and champion of player welfare:

“It is a brutal competition,” said the Bristol director of rugby, Pat Lam, after announcing a long list of players who would not be available for Sunday’s opener at Wasps through injury. “It is what we sign up for. Get another job if it is not for you. Some think wow when you have so many players unavailable; I think opportunity. We do not rely on individuals but the next guy stepping up.”

Your point is what?

That they're as bad as one another

Really? Any evidence for that?
Lam - daft comments about Siale, says 16 cases of CoVid raises questions
Dimond - Solomona, Lying about Tuilagi, Van Rensburg, treatment of the Arscotts, EPRC misconduct charge, bullying complaints, abuse of opposition doctor..

That's very much a Scott Robertson thing too. And almost a ROG thing now, or at least ROG was amazed by the thinking even if I don't know he quite trusts it

Lam is just saying what it is. It is a pretty brutal competition. Elite rugby is ferociously tough and places huge demands on players.
In an ideal world, players would play less and have more downtime.
The Pro game as its currently arranged doesnt allow for it.
