The Canberra Raiders' star trio have been cleared to keep training despite Queensland forcing three NRL players to stand down in their state for refusing to have an influenza injection. But the drama surrounding their decision not to have the shot and rather sign the NRL's modified waiver is clearly affecting Raiders Sia Soliola, Josh Papalii and Joe Tapine, who have been taken aback by the attention surrounding the issue. It's believed some, if not all of them, would be willing to be stood down rather than have the injection. ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr weighed in on Friday saying, while it wasn't high on his list of coronavirus priorities, the players should simply get the injection. All three Raiders have signed the amended waiver, after objecting to the wording on the initial document, and it's believed that should be enough to keep them on the track.
