NRL 2020

[Bovidae]

The Warriors won't last the season and the opposition might as well have a bye and bank the 2 pts rather than playing for 80 mins.

@Mick-Gold-Coast-QLD word doing the rounds over this side of the ditch, now that AFL has decided to pull the plug is that the NRL will pull the plug at the conclusion of this weekend round..common sense prevails..!

They need something to do, this social distancing must be playing hell with their normal gangbangs

[antipodean]

Tigers humiliated at the hands of the Knights. This season needs to end immediately.

[Dice]

Adam Blair should take a pay cut, like a 99% pay cut. So bad.

DUMB ARSES. Quite likely Aussie/Queensland will go in lockdown.

[Hooroo]

Uncrediballistict!!!! Surely this is just someone trying to make news that isn't really there (I didn't bother clicking on the link)

@mikedogz How stoopid do these guys look? Talk about not reading the temperature in the room

[Bovidae]

V'landys' decisions are all about the NRL's bank balance.

Just seen on FB NRL is done now too

[antipodean]

@taniwharugby Yes. From Tigers on FB:

OFFICIAL – The NRL is taking the unprecedented step of suspending the season due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

@antipodean said in NRL 2020:

OFFICIAL – The NRL is taking the unprecedented step of suspending the season due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

hardly unprecedented when everyone else has already done it!

[Siam]

@taniwharugby I did admire their blind gumption for a while there. They had a crack !😄

You get the impression they really did not want to do it ,

But the pressure coming from outside forced their hand

[antipodean]

So while the NRL is frantically trying to come up with a solution and everyone's taken a pay cut of 71%, apparently the FTA broadcaster (Channel 9) thinks the solution isn't worth as much...

The proposal to have a rebooted competition up and running again without crowds in the midst of the coronavirus crisis, however, has not won the support of the game’s long-time free-to-air broadcaster Nine.

Nine chief executive Hugh Marks has told the NRL there is less value attached to the game being played behind closed doors and under a different structure and the media company wants to negotiate a new contract with the code.

Channel 9 basically calling for heads to roll...

@Bones and shit has gone as downhill for Locke as it has for the Warriors since then. He always lacked size (lol if they selected Tomkins to address that) but was electric in 2011. Must have been a real kick in the nuts, although it sounds like he took a while to mature.

Queensland have just announce they will open their borders for NRL starting on May 28th
