PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Manly vs Storm [Round 1, 2020]

[Tragic Eagle]

A believe the games should be played in empty stadiums for the next few rounds.

Anyone think if they do this they’ll call off games and suspend the season ???

Fuk me dead imagine that. Then we all get told to stay at home and there's no sport on tv. Netflix, Stan, Disney and Amazon subscriptions will go through the roof. Might be the only profitable companies in all this.

It would be chaos at Supermarkets and Bottle shops.

FMD all because some dickhead Chinese people ate bats ( or Pangolins).

Some report that players (in general, not specific to Manly players) would refuse to play in empty stadiums.

I think that explanation has been discredited!

My bad, hadn’t heard that.

Would prefer this than being canned....the show must go on....then once the all clear is given the crowds can again support live....to postpone would imo, pretty much kill the season...
Not saying it is right to stop games, as in reality, I'm not clued up enough on what the best way to handle this situation.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

If people are being told not to even shake hands then its going to be tough to ask players to have such close contact as a rugby league contest requires.

I'm in Seattle,
It's bad here, all sports cancelled. It's only going to get worse for a while.
The competition will be suspended on Monday. Enjoy Sunday because it will unfortunately be the only game this year I think. It really sucks, but it is the reality.

I’m not even sure this game will go ahead.

My bad, hadn’t heard that.

Nor I.
I'm of the understanding that it started in the wet markets of China where they sell live exotic animals, such as bats.
If this is incorrect I'd like to be updated.
I've been fond of cricket bats since I was eight years old.

NRL opening round clouded after government advised to ban public gatherings | Manly Warringah Sea Eagles

The first round of the 2020 Telstra Premiership will proceed but the second round will be played behind closed doors after Australia's chief medical officer, Brendan Murphy, advised federal and state governments to suspend all public gatherings of more than 500 people.

DES should rethink playing AFB and Jurbo. If they do play on Sunday, they may well get weeks of extra recovery.

 

[Fibro Eagle]

If the game goes ahead does it mean they will only let in the first 500 people ????

If you go and watch the Blacktown Workers game first, you could just stay in the ground

Maybe the Asbestos at Lottoland will kill the virus any way

This hype about Bellamy's unbeatable Rd 1 winning streak is more media rubbish. Manly led the Storm by 20 in Rd 1 a few years back until the switch got flicked. Bellamy's record is a myth.

Brookvals is the smallest ground and is therefore the least risk. Let Manly play ALL 2020 games at Brookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
