News Coronavirus and NRL

[Canard]

The Melbourne press are already talking about new restrictions. It's only a matter of 24hrs or so

Are we still meant to give a shit about the curve?

The Storm will be on a plane by tomorrow morning I'd say

Storm game seems likely to either go ahead without crowds or shift to the Sunny Coast. Disappointing to lose another home game... maybe we can see them again in 2022...

3 new cases in Queensland.

The NRL have moved the Raiders from an area with no cases to an area with active cases.

V’landys you absolute putz.

Oh go cry a river. It wouldn't matter what happened you'd blame him. Get the Smiths Crisps off your shoulders!

I’ll call out stupid decisions wherever I see them.

Moving the Raiders is a stupid decision.

Given that Victoria had closed it borders (and QLD are probably going to) to NSW and ACT, I think its very sensible decision.

If only there was an island...maybe two...somewhere close off the coast...where one of the teams play....where there hasn't been a serious outbreak since the original one in March last year...

I'm f**kin shattered. You go through all the lockdowns, do everything right just so you can enjoy the simple pleasures of heading to a few NRL games during the winter and this happens. It's a very minor deal in the scheme of things, but I'm over it. Might get more than a few games in 2022 - who knows.

Maybe, but as it stands the NRL have failed in their duty of care by moving Raiders players, staff and their families into an area where they are more at risk of catching the virus.

It’s utter stupidity from an utterly stupid administration.

Should have come West. A magic weekend every weekend at Optus would have pssed of the AFL no end

@skeepe reading your posts in this thread do you mind if I ask if you have an acquired brain injury?

 

[roofromoz]

Canberra would’ve been the perfect place to host the entire NRL. Less temptations for the the players to break bubble protocols unless we think some will sneak out to visit a science museum or a parliamentary sitting.

Just don't tell them of Fyshwick or Mitchell. Things are there... or so I've heard.

Not to mention getting to see what the world looked like pre-civilization.

A Game in every Kiwi stadium!

I can understand how you feel. Due to COVID, I haven't been to an NRL game in person since the 2019 NRL Grand Final
