They'll continue the comp without NZ if they have to, though it's inevitable a player or support staff comes down with it, and at that point it's all over.

NRL trying to get as much of the TV money as they can.

Bennetts idea is probably the way to go. Even for 3 or 4 weeks if it buys enough time. Because that's what we're doing buying time until a vaccine is developed. I feel.

Gonna be a fun next 12 - 18 months.

Am I the only one who kind of has lost interest now in the NRL?
He fact it might be canned has stopped me caring about it.
I totally agree with you. I couldn’t give a f**k what they do as it is obvious there is no leadership in the joint.

Didn’t watch one game other than ours and woke up this morning not knowing the result of the Tigers/Dragons game.

When Cam Smith come out and started making statements I was turned off. Who the f**k does he think he is my telling the NRL to shut down.

What do you expect them to be doing?

The goal posts keep moving every second day with how the world is dealing with this .... they can only just react to each change

I expect them to be proactive and see what every other sporting body in the world is doing and postpone the season. But they can’t because essentially they are broke.

well they aint broke as yet but they still have to pay out to the clubs to pay players wages etc and they make most of their money on the TV rights so they want to play to a closed stadium so they can be feasible

if they stop playing they lose their TV rights income but the players are under contract so they still have to be paid, this is why they want to keep playing the games even if its to empty stadiums

Players have act of god clauses in contracts (like a lot of contracts). Interestingly though.... does it void the contracts?

But when they come back here they have to isolate again for another 14 days.
