if Mary was a genius he would have made up a corona scare last week so they wouldn’t have played the bulldogs

 

[Captain Apollo]

Channel 9 have named the player concerned as Aiden Tolman as it is his child that attends the school where the COVID case is.

Considering there are no crowds why not just have MNF until we can get big groups of people back in?

I don't think it has rated well in the past.

Might make turnarounds & scheduling more complicated as well.

 

[unforgiven]

Aren’t the players supposed to be in some sort of quarantined bubble?

They are living with their families who are still going to school.

Goven this all happened at 9:30 this morning with the result coming approx 3PM I think in hindsight they could have just swapped the games and reserved the right to re-schedule the dogs/roosters game if the result was positive or not forthcoming quickly enough.

As it stands i think they would have had enough notice for the game to go ahead at 6:30.

I think they’ve handled it brilliantly. No f**king around just straight up postponed it, they’ve not given bandana boy or any other anti league media ammunition.
I understand roosters fans have a reason to not want it pushed back a day but you can’t please everyone.

Up to 10,000 fans will be allowed to return to each NRL game from July 1 in NSW after Premier Gladys Berejiklian gave the green light on Sunday.

A small amount of NRL fans have been permitted to attend games this weekend by using the corporate boxes available at respective grounds.


"If there is any outside organised event outside with ticketing and seating, up to 25 per cent capacity of that venue can be utilised for an event," Berejiklian said.

"It can be a concert, a music event, a sporting event. That is for venues with 40,000 capacity and lower.

"A 40,000 capacity can potentially have up to 10,000 people if it is done with strict guidelines in place."

Prime Minister Scott Morrison had on Friday flagged the prospect of 10,000-strong crowds returning to stadiums next month.

He had announced an easing in stage-three COVID-19 safety restrictions "sometime in July", which would result in venues capable of holding 40,000 people permitted to have 25 per cent capacity under social distancing rules.

Temperature checks are required of everyone attending venues this weekend while social distancing rules of one person every four square metres are also in play.

NRL venues are locked in until round nine, with hope growing that teams may be able to host games at their regular home grounds from mid-July.

Venues larger than 40,000 aren't yet allowed to host matches, per the PM on Friday.

They will. Just need to show they can get that many in and out without excessive queues, etc. In the unlikely even that they can’t, they will be limited to 10k, not 25%.

This one is chalked up to Berejiklian - same applies to any other sport with a sub 40,000 venue (e.g. GWS)
