Well, that escalated quickly. CHN back next game?

I genuinely expected their contracts to be de-registered and at least 2-3 years out of the game for each.

It's just good roster management, they have the same cap to spend as every other team.

 

[Dexter]

yep they actually have 500k to spend but apparently if Fifita signs with us for less we have to be investigated.
Such good negotiators the chooks, nothing to see here.

 

[Xzei]

They go there for the golf

NRL statement: COVID-19 update

The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) today met and agreed all clubs operating outside of Queensland must revert to original Apollo biosecurity protocols.

Players and staff within team bubbles will not be allowed to attend venues including cafes, restaurants, pubs, beaches and golf courses to avoid community contact during the current spike in COVID-19 cases. Restrictions on home visitors will also return.

Clubs based in Queensland will remain under current protocols.

ARLC Chairman Peter V'landys AM said the Commission had taken decisive action due to the rapidly changing COVID-19 landscape.

"We won't take any risks with our players and the community. All our decisions are based on the data and we've said from the start, if the data changes then we will be proactive and take the necessary action required,'' he said.

"We are enforcing the original protocols to ensure our players are not mixing with the general community. We are doing everything we can to keep the playing group healthy during this period.

"Our experts are continuing to monitor the data. We don't make decisions based on emotion, we make them based on data. We hope it's only a short spike in the infection rate, but the Commission has shown we will be agile and make the appropriate changes."

Mr V'landys thanked the players and the clubs for their adherence to biosecurity protocols.

"I want to congratulate our players, staff and clubs who have been brilliant throughout the process. The players have done the right thing and when there has been a mistake clubs have been very quick to report any breach. That's exactly how we wanted the process to work."

Well Vlandy's said last shutdown that his regret was that they didn't try to push on with the season, I think they will do just about anything to keep it going this time.

Holy ****.

Crawley is so full of shit. Is anyone watching NRL 360? They were discussing the Reynolds & Latrell incident, he was defending Latrell saying "He king hit him for the right reason" and that Reynolds "Kicked Graham in the head on purpose".

Could he make it any more obvious that he's going to cup Bennett's hairy old ballsack at every opportunity? I guarantee if the roles were reversed he'd be saying poor Latrell accidentally kicked Graham and shouldn't have been suspended.

I've given up on that disgraceful NRL360 pile of shit program .... too many so called 'experts' giving their one-sided biased opinions on everything.

It's fucking pathetic.

Crawley by name, Crawler by nature.

Thanks, now all I’m left with is a mental image of Wayne’s hairy old ball sack.

Crawley is such a gross old ****. Imagine being related to him.

Some interesting data here which blows up the 5 day turnaround myth.
