The Warriors won't last the season and the opposition might as well have a bye and bank the 2 pts rather than playing for 80 mins.
@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD word doing the rounds over this side of the ditch, now that AFL has decided to pull the plug is that the NRL will pull the plug at the conclusion of this weekend round..common sense prevails..!
They need something to do, this social distancing must be playing hell with their normal gangbangs
DUMB ARSES. Quite likely Aussie/Queensland will go in lockdown.
Uncrediballistict!!!! Surely this is just someone trying to make news that isn't really there (I didn't bother clicking on the link)
@taniwharugby Yes. From Tigers on FB:
OFFICIAL – The NRL is taking the unprecedented step of suspending the season due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

hardly unprecedented when everyone else has already done it!
@taniwharugby I did admire their blind gumption for a while there. They had a crack !
You get the impression they really did not want to do it ,

So while the NRL is frantically trying to come up with a solution and everyone's taken a pay cut of 71%, apparently the FTA broadcaster (Channel 9) thinks the solution isn't worth as much...
The proposal to have a rebooted competition up and running again without crowds in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, however, has not won the support of the game’s long-time free-to-air broadcaster Nine.
Nine chief executive Hugh Marks has told the NRL there is less value attached to the game being played behind closed doors and under a different structure and the media company wants to negotiate a new contract with the code.
Channel 9 basically calling for heads to roll...
