Corona Virus and NRL Games

[Willow]

If the NRLan get it going.
Great.
Maybe the AFL ha ve a few more states playing .
Or maybe they haven't got the balls to make a start date yet.
And also Peter Fitzimmons has been a harsh critic of the NRL.
Maybe he should worry about his Rugby Union, which Is up the shit

If the AFL were promoting a May 28 return, the same media would be calling it a courageous move.

You can be sure that AFL and other sports are watching the NRL very closely, and will be keen to follow suit should we see R2RL.

To be fair to Fitzsimmons, he knows Rugby Union is stuffed and has said as much just last week. Only took him 20 years.

You are a staunch advocate for RL, which i do respect.

I think a lot of the criticism , in particular over say the past 10 years, has been warranted. Self inflicted wounds. I also agree that our code cops headlines out of proportion with regard to rivals.

What should happen to Latrell and Josh now ?
Interested on your thoughts.

Latrell " we didn't do anything wrong... but I apologise "

FMD

Where did he say that?

 

[TruSaint]

Bottom line is, he/they did break the rules...
Yes he apologised but if they feel there was no law broken why apologise.

That was my point.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

Bunch of dumb merkins.

It was the most empty apology i've ever witnessed.

Your thoughts re the media attacks on our game are yours to have.

IMO there is no doubt that Newscorp in particular have done what they can to discredit our game while turning a blind eye to AFL indiscretions. It's only when it gets so bad, and they can't brush it under the carpet anymore, that the AFL finally have to admit they got it wrong. Sadly, these admissions come far too late. Example: Adam Goodes, the worst example of racism against an Australian sportsperson in living memory.

Re Latrell and Addo-Carr, their actions will be reported as a setback for the NRL's attempt to R2RL.

This perceived setback should provide some relief for those against a May 28 return. Some may even be pleased. But they have been fined, they have apologised. There may be further action from the NRL. That should be the end of it.

My main concern is that the incident may have created a toxic response, based on ignorance. If that was to ever find it's way into crowd behaviour, you can be sure the NRL would nip it in the bud, unlike the AFL.

These guys think they are above the laws. They are famous NRL players after all!!!

JAC being up at Taree is the least of his concerns. He has been having a ball in the inner west of Sydney over the last 3-4 weeks with Bellamy and co having zero idea!!! Merkin really doesn’t realise how good he has it

They live in a bubble, they're clueless.

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

If the two dumb merkins were concerned about their mental health, then they should have just stayed at home and resorted to home renovation like Lafai

Where did they said they are above the law?

Call them idiots, but let's keep it real.

 

[RedVee]

They need to be isolated... out and away from the NRL for 2020.

lol. You may have to reset your bar.
What do you think of Alan Jones's apologies? There's been a few.

They didn't say they were above the law, I said that based on their actions.

They have been issued a fine. Let's assume they won't challenge the fine. The fine is paid. It is then fair to say that's the end of any legal speculation.

Yep.

These guys if they weren't playing NRL where they have to be good role models ( ????) They'd be in big trouble , they just don't get it .....

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

They should be forced to play for the Dragons under Mary as punishment.
