    It will be interesting to how the number of TV watchers compares to Rd 1 now there are empty stadiums.

    The NRL tragics will watch.

    I would assume the people who would normally be going to the game will now watch on TV so the viewership could go up.

    The future of sports. Cheaper to build stadiums if you don't need any seating...

    I'll watch games other than the Warriors, I normally only watch the Warriors.

    Just use EA sports games crowds and cheering.

    @shark typical response from a rugby boofhead . You watch how many rugby clubs won’t survive this event. I know of 3 in chch that were in trouble before this.
    There’s boof heads in every sport. Yes there’s been plenty of incidents of the past few years. The Aussie media feed off it. NZRFU are just lucking the nz media are paid to keep quiet about all there incidents. Every knows about Dan Carter’s off field activities.
    I’m from a league family but also love rugby and most other sports.

    Survival of clubs is a wildly different topic to player behaviour which has nothing to do with COVID-19.

    It's truly stunning that a well informed sports fan can claim the instances of immoral player behaviour are even between codes. Sure, there's the odd AB who's gotten away with dropping a few pingers and/or doing a bit of rooting around (along with plenty of other young blokes) but I don't recall any rugby players drinking their own piss or treating a puppy as a sex object.

    @shark you obviously haven’t been to a rugby court session. I’ve witness guys pelican each other and drink a pint of piss to get out of court sessions.
    It happens in all of society. Aussie media just sensationalise a lot more than anywhere else. Don’t get me wrong Aussie league have their fair share of idiots. But to say they are all boof heads is wrong.
    Your allowed to just not like league. I’m not really a fan of soccer.
    As for clubs going under , if the warriors don’t play the nrl only has 7 games every week. The contract with the telcos states they must play 8 games every week. So no one gets paid.

    Crazy that Brisbane have Fifita and Haas. We have Lachlan Burr.

    @chchfanatic I've been involved in many a court session, and end of season trips are as bad if not worse. Plenty of disgusting behaviours which at the time seemed funny, mostly! But you can't compare Div 5 club rugby to highly paid professional athletes. For some ridiculous reason NRL players seem prone to doing stupid / lewd / immoral shit either publicly or on social media. You can't tell me the union guys are doing all the same shit and just aren't as unlucky or miraculously have it brushed under the carpet.

    Actually, we could have a thread on gross shit we've seen (done!?) in a court session or on an end of season trip.

    So... so far the Warriors have played 130 minutes of rugby league this NRL season for precisely zero points on the scoreboard.

    Is there a more uninspiring coaching team doing the rounds anywhere, or are Kearney and co dreary beyond peer?

    100 years ago was the last time a premiership team was held scoreless in their first two games. 11 minutes to go...

    I have watched the last 20 minutes. They are absolutely dire.

    So happy the new owners are a big step up from the old owners.....
