The NRL has scored a major victory over the anti-vax brigade with Bulldogs forward Luke Thompson finally agreeing to get double jabbed.
Thompson has been the highest-profile player taking a stance against COVID-19 vaccination and there were fears he could even leave the Bulldogs as a result.
But Wide World of Sports has learned today that the star Englishman has altered his stance and will be double jabbed by the end of the year.
"He had a talk with the club and his manager and just realised it would be all too difficult (not to get the jab)," a Bulldogs source told Wide World of Sports.
"With lots of travel across state borders and other factors, it could have led to problems.

"It was his decision in the end but we are delighted he has seen the light."
The NRL is not forcing players to get vaccinated but wants as many players to get the jab as possible.
Only yesterday, NRL boss Peter V'landys said: "We want to keep all our rugby league family together.
"We don't want them to be split apart. We have to work together to find a solution. There is a lot of hysteria that goes on about this issue (but) a vaccinated person can also catch this disease and pass it on, just like an unvaccinated person."
