Coronavirus sucks.. but the NRL lives!

[40 years an eagle]

every case here has been linked to those who have recently entered the country.

Same as every country mate.

Asians travel a LOT to other asian countries coz they are all relatively close together, flights are cheap, their relatives are spread far and wide and MANY work as OFW's.

V’landys will be our next IOC member at this rate. NRL continues whilst everyone else shuts down except the Olympics...for now

If it was still Beattie running the Commission I doubt the season would have even started, let alone at the very least got in two rounds.

1,000,000%. The game would be ****ed......

Given the AFL has already shut down......maybe they can jump the shark and announce that the Semi's will start after round 3?

A good win over the Warriors could see us in the top 4 with a title not far away.

If things improve they can then have another comp.........this could be our chance to be the first team to win 2 Premierships in 1 year

In the most worrying news to date; breweries will not be considered an essential service and have warned of shortages in the coming months. This has resulted in more panic buying and bottle shops this afternoon. Aaaarrrrgggghh now I'll admit that this has gone too far!!!!!
(Actually, I did a massive grain order last month and just harvested a kilo of hops last weekend so I'm good 🙂 )

Problem is that the Eels might win.

I've thought this all along. Now, apart from the huge medical challenge, the trick will be to get those payments out to people who can't work - asap. This really worries me because all reports suggest that Centrelink has been all but uncontactable prior to this. What are your thoughts Bear?

Hopefully most have net accts, which would make it easy to forward payments. Those without will struggle with probable cheque payments posted out, which then require bank attendance. Most people on pensions are paid through their bank which is a problem. Lines in banks are not advisable. I would think the Government would look to ensure attendance to Centrelink sites are minimised. Not sure how businesses are to be paid. probably application, though would need to be simplified.

Wow they’re pretty confident with this vaccine they were discussing with a scientist on ch 9 tonight.It apparently destroyed the virus in the test tubes he was saying.Hopefully it’s not to far away.

You seem to like lecturing Mark,

Not at all, Mark is one of the best people I've met through this site and he's someone I'll make the effort to communicate with.

All good with me!!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Just watching the PM address to the nation , all clubs , pubs , restaurants and cafes to close NATIONWIDE from tomorrow.

HOLY ****

The government have basically shut down the country. Morrison announcing it on TV right now.

It might have come to this anyway, but he specifically mentioned those brain dead morons who went to Bondi yesterday as a show of people not following the social distancing protocols.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Can't see how the NRL can push forward oblivious to what is happening around them. AFL has pulled the pin, we'll be next by the end of the week I suspect.

 

[manlyfan76]

Did people not see this coming?
This ramps up every few days, by easter (maybe earlier) everything will be shut.
Bar chemist, hospitals etc.

 

[The Wheel]

Because they've probably been listening to you two! Or to Talkin Sport! Or to Donald Trump (at least until he changed his tune a week or so ago)

And Alan Jones who thinks it’s all a beat up - while sitting in his home in Southern Highlands doing his radio show

Too slow. How embarrassing.
The Philippines is 50 years behind the first world but they closed all those a week ago here.

It why I posted that above , cannot see now how they can continue.

If they shut public toilets then that will get Alan's attention.
