News Coronavirus and NRL

[blue bags]

what will the newspapers gossip about now lol

Still should keep the comp going, last team still alive wins the trophy.

 

[greenBV4]

Nope.

Potentially the end of the NRL, and a few clubs too - but the *game* of rugby league will re-emerge after all this.

You can't kill an idea.

Super league's revenge.
Foxtel will need the content so will create it themselves - with the formation of the Australian Super League?

I hope the bat tasted crap....

It wasn't someone eating a bat!

Possibly. Everything is up in the air right now - and if the NRL/clubs really are close to hitting the wall, then I imagine whoever picks up the pieces will be keen to do whatever it takes to get decent seed-money for the new competition from broadcasters.

the idea to get all teams in sydney, near, around homebush , play , train close by, at ANZ, bankwest, kogarah oval, , leighcart oval . got to save the TV contracts money, for now, we could have a cure for corolla virus soon

Lets see if the Cowboys, Broncos, Gold Coast and Storm make the same sacrifices the Warriors made. Im doubting that will happen....then again, I thought they'd can the comp after the locking up of the NZ border.

Bring in the Bears, Newtown, Central Coast, Balmain and Illawarra

And still play 8 games every weekend

NRL has to be next in line

They didn’t have a choice, a Collingwood employee tested positive.

 

[siv]

Last sport standing lol with borders closing can’t see us continuing unless we move to a camp

Bring the game back to Sydney / Newcastle / Canberra

 

[Jackie Treehorn]

The NRL should make the Parra v Titans game the grand final. Either result would be a great feel good story with the winner breaking a premiership drought.

I doubt that had anything to do with it. The guy had only just returned from an overseas trip, was in isolation and hasn't had any contact with anyone at the club.

Could they not just play out of anz and train and stay in the Olympic village? That's of course if they players want to.

 

[mave]

More to do with the fact that if Vic, WA and SA close the borders, it becomes a tad hard to play a national comp.

Luckily our previous short-sightedness as a sport is helping us right now.

Don’t think the people now living in the old Olympic village would much enjoy sharing their houses with footy players

What year are you living in?

 

[Canard]

Everyone should tune into tonight's Titans Eels game, it might be the last of the NRL as we know it.

The nearby hotel perhaps then?

Its a lot to ask of the players but atleast the players and their familys could be with each other and be isolated and the game could go on.

Will be interesting to see how this moves forward. Vlandys said today on the radio that there are contingencies if this happened. Enjoy the eels vs titans people because it may be the last game we could see for a while.
