Here is an idea people can stop being dumb and take precautions. That will flatten the curve more than a complete lockdown especially with goodness knows how many kids running around the streets.

You mean you expect people to practice basic hygiene? No, that’ll never take off.

You said playing 8 games to no crowds put lives at stake for profit. I simply asked how you came to that conclusion. You wound up saying some shit about me going to the pub.

I'm angry at no one. A little confused but I think that'll die down when I stop conversation with you.

ah i see, you put words in my mouth

would explain the confusion

stay safe

While I am no fan of Kevin Rudd in any way shape or form. This is the type of thinking we need from the man in charge.

From Twitter:
“With schools closing, if students have no effective internet access, a practical way forward might be redeploying ABC multi-channels (ABC Kids, ME and HD) to deliver the agreed national curriculum.”

Multiple magic rounds at Suncorp
I would have thought using ANZ, BankWest & panthers stadium (3 NRL standard stadiums) A maximum of 30min bus drive between the 2 stadiums that are farthest apart. Abundance of accommodation & local training facilities. Would be a cheaper option RE: transporting all clubs to the hub for the rest of the season (if there are still level 1 precautionary lockdowns for the general public) There are certainly plenty of workable solutions for the comp to kick off once we get the green light.

It’s time for a total national lock down. Close all non essential shops, libraries, public transport, schools etc across the country. This state by state response is ridiculous. Buy the health service as much time as possible to prepare and flatten the curve now, not when we’re losing 500 people a day.

Amen. I'm so glad that here in NZ we don't have states - and whatever Central Government says, goes. So effective in national emergencies.

Rugby league will return. Not as we currently know it which won’t be a bad thing.
12 team comp. Play everyone twice. Under 21 and reserve grade as the lead up. Players with day jobs. Suburban grounds. Oh I miss the old days.

Paul Kent talking about how the Warriors are under threat...

yeah like the NRL want to say goodbye to the 20M a season they get from sky every year.

the Warriors are almost a jewel in the crown for the NRL... a team that directly adds money through what’s really its own broadcast deal... and they add a whole extra time slot for Australian viewers when they play at home.

the AFL would f**king kill for the Warriors.. I don’t even think they have a TV deal... I think they almost pay to be shown in NZ.
