I don't like these multiple games at the one ground. The last time we had this, we copped a few suspensions and injuries and lost the game to the Storm. Nevertheless, to enable the round to be completed, it will be good.

Any idea when we play?

Not yet.
But th AFL has rescheduled its games already.
The afl does everything quicker in my opinion.

Does anybody know why today was postponed? And why 24 hours will make a shred of difference?

I guess North QLD, ACT and VIC would be the options. Not sure how feasible the other states are given time zone differences in terms of broadcasting. V'Landys and the NRL will move heaven and earth to keep this comp alive I'm sure.

See, further to my now edited post... I'm sure the biosecurity team that forms part of NRL Project Apollo have always worked on the notion that COVID will forever be existent in the community (and the Australian community as a whole, including our stupid politicians, need to wake up and realise pretty quick smart as well).

The level system protocols are in place to adjust on the fly as needed. This is also why V'Landys pushed so hard to not only get the comp back underway last year, but to also get teams back at their proper home grounds and have crowds rolling back through the gates as soon as possible.

Basically, there shouldn't be any reason why the games today have suddenly been called off. Sure - have no crowds, move our game from Rocky back to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. But there is no reason to call off these matches completely.

V'Landys should be PM or Premier of NSW !

Kept the game going but ruined the game with all the new rules

Souths wouldn't get off the plane ...... they were scared .......

Yea but we didn’t even leave our hotel

 

[blacksafake]

Yet qld races can go ahead just with no crowds.
Even in lockdown.

Turnover

Spot on mate ......

Guys apologies as realise I’m behind the play but if there is a triple header tomorrow would that include Saints ?

 

[Forbes Creek Dragons]

Move it to ACT.
Play every game there for the rest of the year including GF. Don’t give QLD another game regardless if they open back up in 3 days.

As an ACT resident I’ll take that. Moose heads would get pretty wild though.

Well the freedom was fun while it lasted.

Official - Dragons game will be played 6:25 tomorrow night at Suncorp Stadium

At least the pain was postponed for 24hrs

Queensland health minister finally gets her chance to cancel NRL games, she’s been gagging to do it!
I dislike her

No, the lockdown is about stopping the spread of a virus that kills people. Some things are bigger than rugby league, and I doubt the health experts are distracted by any sport when issuing their advice.

Meanwhile, the Qld govt appears to be doing everything it can to assist the NRL, including providing it with venues to keep the comp going. Keep in mind the reasons why these games can't be played in NSW. Without Qld, the NRL's options become limited to almost zero.

AFL flees Qld lockdown, NRL pushes on

You’re obviously a Queenslander?

No need for insults Crush. I'm all for banter but that was a hit below the belt.

I live Near NSW.

Brought up as a westie, it's disheartening to see what's happening to me old stomping grounds. Best wishes to all.

But I'm also thankful that we have some place that is willing take in The Greatest Game of All. Not sure what we'd do without Queensland right now... maybe WA or NT.

I hear Darwin now has a purpose built Rugby League stadium at Warren Park, almost brand new. If things get any worse, we may see the Grand Final there this year.
