Corona Virus and NRL Games

[TruSaint]

NRL will follow suit tomorrow.

The only reason for the spin of playing in remote areas was to force the govt's hand. They were always going to shut it down after the AFL.

Oh well at least I can get rid of my Kayo subscription now, that money will come in handy when I lose my job in a month at best.

All the best mate.

I wonder if they'll refund the $5 special offer that was being promoted last week.

All the best to you Forbes Creek. Folks need to stick together during these times.

All the best mate, and to all the guys and girls on this forum too.

I’m not quite up to speed on the Dragons financial health but any views on how long a run way we have ? Assume a statement from the new CEO is imminent

Not sure if Mary believed in God, but he does now.

Brilliant.

 

[2010]

This is a real disappointment but in the scheme of things it had happen.
I hope everyone keeps safe from this virus.
Stay healthy

He would have been counting his rosary beads since his last contract extension. 570K, 580K, 590K

Well looks like I've got nothing to do on the weekend but watch porn and do housework.

Sounds more exciting than watching either of our teams at the moment mate

What’s been made abundantly clear the last few weeks now that the financial position of the NRL and the clubs have been somewhat exposed has been the total mismanagement of cash for a number of years.

Clearly, a $9.8 million salary cap and the massive grants to the clubs for a game that averages 13-15k crowds was never going to be sustainable.

Not sure what the game will look like when this is all said and done but expecting 750k per year salary and above for 20 something athletes barely out of school is going to be a thing of the past.

All of us shit team supporters have to stick together mate, long live the Western South Coast Dragon Tiger Sharks for 2021.

 

[Dragon David]

All the best mate.

Yes, all the best Forbes Creek D.

Common sense prevails at last .

The players should not had to suffer the angst of being separated from their love ones , let alone take the risk of contracting the disease which would had occurred eventually.

Go home boys and be with your families and do the best for them as each one of us must do . May this insidious plague be gone as quickly as possible so the world can return to normality.

Yes me too Forbes. I'll be saying goodbye to my Foxtel HD and reckon I'll be unemployed within a couple of weeks. Tough times mate.

Shit...
Hope it turns around for you as well bro.

Its hard times man, im predicting worse than the Great Depression. This fall has come faster and harder than then and people are half a million in debt. 10 times their annual wage in some cases. This has never happened before. Even watching NRL 360 its very sobering, no shit talking at all Vlandys knows full well the NRL may very well not survive this.
