Coronavirus sucks.. but the NRL lives!

Yeah more plot twists now with the warriors.

They're also proposing isolating all players for a month up in Brissy and just playing all month out of Suncorp.

Crazy times.
 
My first house ( 1975) , $25,000

My weekly wage , $75, my wife’s $60, house repayments $40 per week, I owned my own car a clapped out 1070’s Holden.

We had virtually nothing in the house, a double bed ( wedding present ) , a laminex table and four chairs ( wedding present) and that was it.

In 1977 , and unexpectedly, our first daughter arrived . My salary at the time $105 per week.

I had to take a second job on pumping petrol on the weekends just to get by.

It honestly pisses me off when the younger generation whinge about us Boomers , don’t forget we were still paying a house off with EIGHTEEN PERCENT INTEREST thanks to “the recession we had to have”.

Yes we’ve been “ lucky” but **** me we’ve done the hard yards too which is something Millenials know nothing about.
Yeah trade work is so easy I could do it in my sleep, welding, hammering, using ancient ****ing bandsaws,having miller slips it's all GREAT fun and not remotely difficult,I mean I'd hate to go on holidays as a job, oof

I kid of course, please do not have a stroke, my dislike of the elderly is how that spat at Vietnam vets, constantly were on strike bitching ,moaning and all to eager to get a 'fair go' then to deny it to the following generations and of course whining some more when they've put is at the precipice of climate Armageddon

That's my issue but you don't seem like one of them, you're hatred of millennials is fueled by fear mongering from the curious mail and a current affair so there's no portion of blame on you yourself, you've been brainwashed
 
Pretty reasonable point from Wayne Bennett, who suggested to move the competition to one location and Maintain that isolation:

“There's probably about $90 million still to be paid to players for the next part of their contracts. If the TV contracts fall over, then who pays the players' contracts for the rest of the year?”
They’d be a sneaky clause in the small print I reckon. Something like in the event of a pandemic blah,blah, we’re not libel. We‘ve got no product, we’re not paying.
(look at me spruiking lawyer talk, like I’ve got a clue.@:D).

The general disrespect that many of the youth/millennials have toward people in general is astounding. I’m 49 and remember being young (it goes very quick) and am now grateful to the older boys who would have knocked me the fark out if I gave older people half the lip you do.

Admittedly, there was no internet back then, so we didn’t have the luxury of putting on a keyboard suit of armour. You had to voice your concerns to man’s face, and be prepared to roll with the punches. It was perfectly fine to be a bloke, proper respect still existed (as opposed to the wishy washy, emasculated garbage of today) and people generally paused before throwing out an asshole inspired opinion.

Oh yeah...we met girls in the flesh and everyone enjoyed a good chuckle over a nice cold schooner whenever a chest beating d1ckhead got dropped.
 
Gould forecasting that the competition will be cancelled before round 3
All it would take is for just one player or immediate close contact to contract the virus, then I imagine the whole team would have to go into isolation for a couple of weeks, not to mention any team that he has already played against, it just keeps on snowballing.
 
I suppose it would be possible to take the players to one venue , isolate them and play games like that but jeez they have families as well don’t they ??

I read somewhere tonight the peak for contraction they believe to be April / May , so who would want to be away from their families for 3 months!!
