You have a serious reading/comprehension problem buddy.
Me: .nowhere did I say anything about the risk level.
You: yes you did.
You don't understand the word "level"?
Put your gun away buddy, you don't have any bullets.
Find someone else to hassle, it won't take you long, you're an expert at it.
‘Not worth the risk’ means the risk is too high. That is a comment on the level of risk. At least that’s what I thought, however it’s not important, sorry I upset you

The "risk" I was referring to is the risk the players would not adhere to the guidelines mate, not the risk of infection.
Me: Is it worth the risk? Probably not, considering the attitude of the seemingly arrogant RL stars.
Let's get back to the footy.
NRL clubs will be forced to take drastic measures ahead of the game’s proposed relaunch, with staff to be cut by half and a “COVID cop” to monitor their compliance with Project Apollo’s rules.

NRL clubs will spend the next 24 hours making the gut-wrenching decisions to tell half of their football staff not to return when training starts again next week.
Clubs were told on Wednesday they will be capped at just 18 staff members at training with the rest of their 50 pre-approved list to be made up of players. That is about 50 per cent less than what some clubs generally operate at meaning chief executives and head coaches will now make some tough calls after Project Apollo confirmed the restrictions.
The number of officials allowed to attend matches is also slashed with just 20 players and 12 staff members permitted. Clubs could generally have up to 50 staff at any home match with some club bosses also considering watching matches on TV.
THE NEW NRL
– Clubs allowed to report in on Monday for educational purposes only.
– Training resumes Tuesday.
– Pre-approved list of 50 people only for training which includes 32 players and 18 staff, dropping staff levels by half. Lists of 50 for training.
– Only 20 players and 12 staff members per club allowed on game day.
– Clubs will be monitored by a “COVID cop” attached to each team.
The changes are part of the NRL’s strict biosecurity measures which will be in place come Monday. The NRL has also beefed up its policing of the guidelines by appointing a “COVID cop” at each club to ensure clubs and players are compliant.
The NRL had planned to use three independent people spread across each club, but will instead delegate one independent person per club. If clubs don’t comply they could be stripped of competition points or heavily fined. Any punishments will be handed down by the NRL’s integrity unit.
The presence of the “COVID cop” will ensure teams are not tempted to resume training a day early after the NRL delayed the start by one day.

Teams will front-up for an educational seminar at club bases on Monday but will not be permitted to train until the following day. Each person on the list of 50 must complete an online training module before they are allowed inside the venue.
The “COVID cop” will read the Riot Act to players on Monday and give them clear instructions about what they can and cannot do.
ARLC chairman Peter V’landys said players will know exactly what is required of them.
“Once they have that, there is no excuse,” V’landys said. “Zero. They have to appreciate that they’re not just risking their own career, they are risking the careers of all in the game. If there is a slip-up it brings the whole game, not just them.”
Players will be asked to fill in daily health-checks and that information will be channelled back to an NRL controlled central system. An application is still being worked out.

Project Apollo head Wayne Pearce and other NRL officials including chief operating officer Nick Weeks were on the phone call to club bosses who were warned in no uncertain terms that any misbehaviour will not be tolerated.
They were read NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s comments from Wednesday morning that were scathing of the game’s players after Nathan Cleary, Latrell Mitchell and Josh Addo-Carr and flouted social distancing rules. Berejiklian said “disappointing doesn’t begin to cut it” when asked to describe the players actions.
The NRL is still working through discussions regarding the value of the remaining 18 matches with their broadcast partners. Once that is settled, a draw will be announced.

This could actually advantage a club like Manly that already operates with a much smaller support staff!

So, wear new shoes in the stadium, then go to the car to get your playing shoes, then wear them while playing in the stadium. I don't even know if that makes sense but so long as the players know what to do, should be sweet!

@ global..... wait, that doofus knows nothing.
Tipping comp was called off after first round and the leader at the time was declared the winner... can't remember who that was at the moment. Probably a very good tipper though, and most likely extremely handsome just to rub salt into the wound.
Haha I don't know, maybe simply pick up from where we left off? (Probably more complicated than it sounds)
Lol, just saw the local council is not happy about the Storm relocating to Albury. Be a shame if no-one wants them.
The storm they don’t mind it’s the bearded one they want to **** off!!
Sea Eagles back at work tomorrow

Pittwater Legend
We brought back Geoff Toovey!
You and I have always been ones to keep calm and think with our heads. Apparently there has been no community transmission of the virus for a week now in NSW
Things are looking good and I’ll be enjoying a few beers at a pub tonight
Yeah, well done Pittwater ... I think we will see small outbreaks here and there for a while .... but with the increase in ICU capability and rapid response teams ... the need for the economy to reboot will outweigh the need to continue many of the restrictions ....
Still need to manage the situation until an effective vaccination/cure is developed ... but with only 5 people in a serious condition in all Australia we can afford to loosen the reins a bit ...
Enjoy your beer(s) ...
