Corona Virus and NRL Games

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Some people have their hands on their ears and lack the ability to think forwards, or beyond what's in front of them at that exact moment

Yes mate. I agree. Glad someone gets it.

Say that the season is cancelled, that will be determined by the NRL, not the clubs.
The NRL will lose a shitload of money as well as clubs playing at home.
If the season is cancelled how does it affect a player contract, if the season is cancelled how does it affect the player, a contract is a contract and I doubt any contract has mention of a season being cancelled. Same deal for coaches

While all important questions, I'd imagine that process comes afterwards while the priority becomes player and public safety. Will be very interesting to see how it's all handled though.

contracts have all sorts of clauses

I can see things turning to shit very soon with this NRL season. No crowds, no scrums and finally no players!

sharks play at kogarah 1st, means the place will need to be fumigated , detoxified

12 month off season. NRL worst nightmare and the Mods on this site will need a payrise.

Scott Morrison advises against any large crowd gatherings from Monday .

Fair comment there, 2010.
If the players don’t play, do they get paid?
The coach can’t coach, so there’s no way he should ever get paid, Coronavirus or not!

Agreed.

I think @muzby should get a 200% increase on his base salary.

And if the gummies get flogged on Saturday night Scomo will support the cancellation on the season.

Updates here... https://leagueunlimited.com/news/34464-coronavirus-covid-19-updates/

Round 2 will be played behind closed doors. That's official.

Next Friday night's Kogarah game v Panthers will have zero fans in attendance, can only watch it on TV.

Oh well... it is what it is. I might have done my dough on the air ticket, but will see what they say. I suspect there'll be some sort of refund for season ticket holders.

Next Kogarah game is 22 May, I have a feeling things won't be any better by then.

Actually it's stupid to suggest it's an overreaction. People really have no clue the rate of spread and what it will look like in 3 weeks if precautions such as these aren't taken now.
Sport and travel cancellations are not going to affect the world in any tangible way. If each cancellation saves even 1 life it's worth it.

I’d agree with you if the morality rate apropos COViD-19 was substantially worse than other related viruses.

It’s not.

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Any idea what's going on in Italy mate?

Well, I understand it has closed its borders. However, just because one country has done so in response to a health issue, doesn’t mean it’s complications will be replicated in Australia.

That will put him over the cap.

I’m guessing you’re an anti-vaxxer.

Interesting ramifications if tests positive.

Could mean play halts completely.

The moment a player or trainer gets it, everything is off. As it should be really
