Is this the Australian government? The NRL tweeted that the NQL vs BRO game will go ahead with gates open after you posted this.

Its all getting a bit ridiculous. Are we supposed to ban public transport as well. Shopping centres are going to have to close down.

It wont affect me but fuck me if you are a casual worker who works in retail/hospitality your life is about to get very difficult.

The government has been ADVISED to do this. They haven’t implemented this yet. Don’t see how they wouldn’t though

Yep, if that's the advice and it's in the public eye they pretty much have to do it now. Can't be seen taking this lightly.

The US is so fucked, would hate to be there at the moment.

I've got mates in the Philipines just as they've closed the gates at Manila airport.
NZ are talking further travel restrictions just as my olds are about to visit me next weekend.
Really hoping they get let back into NZ cause I don't really want them staying with me any longer than they have to thanks.

I can't believe I went out for 5 hours come back & there's 12 pages of crap about the virus. I thought this was a league forum.

People are harping on about it but given that it will affect the NRL season it makes sense that there is a level of discussion

Meh, anything to get my mind off Stimson

Given that it directly impacts the game we're playing and what it means for the season what did you expect?

Did you want to talk about BEs and DPP for players in 6 weeks when we have no games?

Actually I take that comment back & sure probably half of it was league related & it's good to be informed on the affects on the nrl.

Umm hello, no NRL games = no fantasy

There will potentially be no league for quite a while. This forum always talks about whatever the biggest news story is in the world of league. Plus with no league, it basically effects Fantasy as others have said, players will be back from injury etc etc. This is HUGE news and the chat is warranted imo.

No League = No Fantasy

As if smacked on the ass by the Mrs ! So swift young man.

Assuming games go ahead and ignoring what happens with scheduling beyond this week, my final decision has come down to CTR + 4th BENCHIE.. and its

thumbs up) 490k spend (Hess/Carty/Tapine/Horsbra) + Watkins

thumbs down) Su'A + Lomax



I'm leaning towards the latter, mainly because I think Su'A can score 40ish and I don't particularly trust the guys in the first option to score much better. Additionally, Watkins with Titans draw bothers me, probably more so than Lomax, who has yet to pass the eye test imo. Lomax at very least has the option to score points from goals (can the Dragons start well???), and at least has the option to get more involved across the park in attakc.

feel free to discuss !

I went out for a ciggy & it cleared my thoughts & realised my post was inaccurate. Apologies.

My biggest concern is having to potentially look at Stimson's 24 for weeks on end.

Good on you for taking it back. Given you'd been out of the loop its understandable you made that comment. I'm not sure its that productive to keep talking about the virus but it is obviously topical and with literally every passing minute it looks like it will have a bigger impact on the season

Imagine if the season ended after 1 try and 10 points.......

My team only has 8k bank & I'm thinking of culling someone to increase my bank. Who would you downgrade out of D. Fifita, Aubusson, Drinkwater, L. Leilua or Knight. Cheers.
