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...

Suckers for punishment are league fans

I think the generic term is "morans" but I watch the warriors on occasion when I need to feel superior about picking a sports result correctly. So I fit in as both a sucker and moran.

So are the Cowboys, Broncos and Titans just playing each other or has that halfwit Palaszczuk opened the border for league players?

if she was the one that blocked the footy, she wouldn't get the chance to get voted out...
@antipodean said in NRL 2020:
So her protestations about keeping Queenslanders safe is clearly bullshit.
