has been inevitable for at least a week and the level of delusion was off the charts

they should have been making provisions for shutting it down instead of trying to forge on when it was never going to be possible

The ones that dont deserve to.
The game desperately needed a cull. This will be a positive of the suspension.

Our whole countries f**ked. This is going to get way worse before it will get better.

anyone thinking days or weeks instead of months is delusional.

Wishing everyone the very best of luck. Stay safe and remember that through the extraordinary levels of unemployment and sheer boredom is where all the new criminals will be born.

lock your doors after you’ve washed your hands.

Key points from the press conference:

• Health and safety was the top priority - the NRL's biosecurity and pandemic experts told the league it was no longer possible to ensure player health and safety.
• No determined return date - it's being left open as to when the league resumes.
• All clubs and players have been briefed and asked not to train from tomorrow.
• NRL HQ is shut as reported earlier today, with staff asked to take leave til 1 May.
• The decision means the Warriors can return home tomorrow before border closures are enforced.
• V'landys reiterated from his previous press conference that this is a catastrophic time financially for the NRL and its clubs.
• Greenberg outlined they are still confident of getting the season played out.

So....AFL is doing "mass stand downs of staff" according to the SMH.

But I thought they had a war chest and could fight this forever. Or are they only paying players? Or playing with themselves about their grandeur?!
