Coronavirus sucks.. but the NRL lives!

[Mark from Brisbane]

My wife and I were due to fly to Melbourne next week to see our Victorian based grandkids ( and daughter, the son in law is a Bunnies supporter since I count him out) but we are going to cancel now as the thought of a close down of the country and being stuck down there , in a tiny house , away from my own home and bed is the thought process

 

[The Wheel]

I wrote earlier that there was a massive chance this game would be cancelled.

I am now convinced it will be cancelled by tomorrow for sure.

My fear is that (i believe) insurance will not cover the club for the losses incurred... we might have a cashflow issue looking as well.

@The Wheel any word from the club?

Nothing yet

But like I said, the aim is to not to get to panic stations. We just need to slow it down - so who takes the hit first to do that? Probably those with the highest risk and ones that don't have a huge impact to the economy. Sucks to be a sporting club or a music venue...but it's a luxury and it won't impact everyday life or the majority of other businesses.
I'm also expecting that my kids daycare will either shut down or stop kids from going if they have a runny nose (and they all already have one).

Guess that it is just going to come down to a level of proportion apart from individual discretion . Life still has to go on in most respects . Circumstances will inevitably change with this problem in different or varying forms , just seems that a judgement call on whether sporting events , specifically N R L games for now at least , again should not be subject to any additional restrictions

 

[The Wheel]

Probably more of a chance contracting this virus [ serious as it is ] or any other contagious type aliment at one "s local shopping centre then an open air sporting event . Not even the slightest indication of the Cows - Broncos game tonight being subject to crowd restriction , can "t see it also being any different at other N R L games for this week at least .

That is in Qld, they are always about a decade behind the times up there

Main stream media scare campaign.

Fear equals consumption

Fear equals consumption

And don’t the MSM love fear and disaster. Turn any TV channel on and it’s full of it.

Gee, someone needs to inform the squeels fans that it doesnt mean they win the comp if the comp is indeed abandoned

Why do you think the only viewing I am doing right now is watching an old NASCAR race on YouTube? The commercial stations are doing nothing but fear mongering right now.

Yep they are claiming the Premiership based on one game already.

****ing dickheads.

Just watch this and you're cured. The NRL should be sending this out to all teams and fans right now!

I totally understand that they are trying to be proactive and contain the virus to try and stop it spreading so quickly in large crowds. But my gosh it doesn’t make how gutted I feel right now any better. Been looking forward to this match for so long, as we all have. It’s the best round 1 match up we have had in years, especially being at Brookie! I know nothing has been confirmed yet but it is so sad seeing how quickly this is spreading and how much it’s impacting society not just economically, but socially too

Agree Ella.

Scary for us middle 60’s and I’ve as well ,especially as I’m an Asthma sufferer so I’m in the prime danger zone.

We were going to Melbourne next week to see grandkids , that’s going to be postponed .

The worlds gone mad!!

This thread is scarcely a week old!
Amazing how fast things have moved, NRL has been slow to react but decisions are probably going to be out of their hands very soon.

My shares are worth about 35% less than they were 3 weeks ago ( if I sell which luckily I don’t have to), the world has gone to **** very quickly.

 

[maxta]

Game at North Qld tonight to go ahead with crowds....so I hear ??

 

[Woodsie]

This virus will bankrupt more people than it kills .......

Don't sell! Repeat, don't sell 🙂
In fact I'm sure plenty of rich people will make a killing buying while prices are so low, happens every time there's a crash
