    The sport will endure but I imagine Penrith, Sharks, Knights, Dragons and Gold Coast wont. Probably new teams or reorganised versions of old teams. The NRL are such a failure as a professional organisation. How could they leave themselves so vulnerable financially?
    They probably thought $140m in the bank was enough.
    It would've been in normal times.

      The fact that he was prepared to go to the footy for Round1 shows you how where he was at with the situation. It took a public backlash for him to change his mind. Was he totally oblivious to what was happening in Europe & Asia??? He was Trump's lap dog when he visited the White House....maybe he gave The Don a call and was advised " it's all hoax".

      He was also slow to react to the panic buying at the supermarkets....and when he termed it as "un Australian" a lot of people rightly thought that going on holidays when your the PM and your country is burning is the real definition on "un-Australian".

      However i'm going to have faith in him & the government to do the right by the public from hereon. He needs to make up for lost time

      • I believe putin handled it very , very, well, maybe we should invite him to be our acting pm ? point is all politicians and political ideologies have positives and negatives. the situation has shifted so dramatically so quickly , it would be hard to know what to do . anyway I'm not here to get into a political debate, I'm here because I support the roosters.

          Oh well, 1908 - 2019...with Roosters the last Premiers.
          Well if the season gets cancelled the players don't get paid....a lot of people are going to be unemployed and facing financial hardship in all areas of life. Most at NRL headquarters will also be looking for new jobs. Maybe Greenberg will ask Cam Smiths wife for that 10k ring back so it can be melted down and sold.

          The strong clubs will survive and so will rugby league

                • The way we have gone the last two weeks it will be a relief if the NRL shuts down.

                  This evening one of my boys told me he wants to be kicking field goals as well as DCE by the time the isolation period is over. I told him to support Luke Keary and to go to bed.

                    No. Im like Mickie Lane on this. If we lose Souffs we lose a big part of the game and part of us. I think they must stop today, plan, reevaluate and wait. Guys please remember SARS was defeated without a vaccinne. We all need to work together now. The world is at war.

                      That made me laugh for a while. You are wise.

                          He wants to be the next Rex Hunt and have his own fishing show on the tele.

After returning to work for 2 days a week for the past2 weeks we are now told to stay home this week. Hopes of schools resuming on 20 April are canceled and no idea of a return date. Restaurants and bars have remained open but business is beyond bad. I have not eaten out since late January. Expect all flights worldwide to end soon.
                              Interesting to hear you say that , I haven't believed the numbers coming out of China from the beginning and I don't believe them when they say they have got it beat now.
                              I mentioned before we should have kept the knights and raiders with the rest of the Sydney teams and get rid of the other states for the year. That's the only way they could keep it going.
                              How are they going to fly the Panthers and the eels this Saturday night to Melbourne and Townsville respectively with one plane all in one day.
                              No way the players will agree to be stuck in Qld in the sticks for the year.

                              • During origin if there is a tie then the previous year's winning team retain the shield. Same should apply to the NRL when the season can't find a winner. As such can the season and give roosters the premiership.... thoughts????
