As states across the country start to follow Tasmania's lead and close their borders, Morrison on Sunday morning urged all Australians to only travel interstate if it was entirely necessary.
As of Sunday, the NRL had not yet been given clearance to play on but ARL Commission chair Peter V'landys believes the show will go on for two reasons. Secondly, the NRL have not used commercial flights in the first two rounds of matches, taking away some risk of interstate travel. Chartered flights have taken the Cowboys, Rabbitohs and Storm to and from their games in the same day this weekend and that measure will continue.
Stop!!!! Just stop. My singing gigs have stopped...just stop being idiots...only for a short time.
Don’t understand why all the knives are out for NRL If they can self isolate, have a team of medical professionals, tests done weekly, chartered flights to avoid contact with the general public, play in empty stadiums? Thats a lot more than what people at Bondi Beach are doing
Ha ha. Sure it will!
So the Storm going to move into NSW to avoid travel restrictions like the Warriors? Qld teams next? Just pull the pin.
I know this is a different code but...
🤦🏼♀️ Well that just shows how selfish and stupid the NRL are!
Fck the NRL! Let them go under! With their stupidity they want to infect everyone around them!
Very easy. Toe the line or NO hand-out!
The NRL is showing zero leadership. Sports leagues around the globe have already shut down. Even the AFL have now pulled the pin on the season. Australians won’t forget after this is over. Continuing the season at this point highlights exactly where the league’s priority lie $$$
They have best of the best medical support. They should be ok as long as test are done every week.
Rugby league always thinks they are above a crisis. Kept going during Ww2 now going through this. No wonder others are continuing on as usual (going to Bondi beach)
Shut it down
Are they joking? Can't they see the writing on the wall?
Such arrogance and selfishness! All sports organisations worldwide have acknowledged the nature of the situation & been abiding by the recommendations of health authorities. Why should the NRL be different? Keep everyone safe!
NRL - oh do fuck right off!
Artists who raised all those funds for the bushfire victims were shut down immediately.
Is anyone actually surprised
Too scared to look up my HostPlus account balance
Is it true the NRL players are using masks when flying? Saw a post about it. I thought we should not use them because the health workers (you know, the people who actually will be risking their lives to save us) need them more.
🥶👎
Eventually one of the players will test positive and it will fold like a cheap suit, as silly as a thousand people on Bondi beach
The show must go on, eh.
This is unbelievable.
AFL suspended competition
Guys, play till you are all infected with the virus and when you all become infected, keep playing. Footy players are tough blokes and not sissies like us.
Idiots. Total bogans
footyindustryAU Does it really matter all the teams are in Sydney anyway.
That's great but I will not watch nor will I support sponsors. Tossers.
It just perpetuates their general line of thinking that they are untouchable & above the law ... arrogant much
I have no words for these irresponsible avaricious self absorbed pricks. Wait..
How about they keep their overpaid arses at home in their mansions? Football is NOT essential.
TitusOReily If the NRL season was the Titanic there’d be no need to rearrange the deckchairs. Nobody was sitting in them in the first place Coronavid19 SMH
More braun than brain! 😩😩😩
Numerous examples of sports people falling ill with the virus - get real
Hardly “essential” - start setting the right example for the fans to follow
Once again completely out of touch with reality
Umm. All that close body contact, does Coronavirus know not to transmit infection during tackles / scrums? Just saying.
They must have such bloated egos to think they are so important
The only conceivable way they could keep playing is if they all stayed in the one place and kept games going at the one ground...which is still lunacy. I'm an AFL fan and I've resigned myself that it's over for the year.
That's predictable, their reputations were already hanging by a thread, so why start being good role models now!? I'll never watch another game NRL
The so-called PM should should do a ban of all but emergency/essential air travel. Sport does not come under either of these categories.
I don't watch it myself but for many this is an essential service while ppl are locked down at home.
looking forward to the new rules: - a player is deemed tackled once a defender closes within 1.5m - touching your face gets you 10 mins in the sin bin
mascordbrownz The players and staff are isolating themselves, have medical staff around them and are being regularly tested. They’re safer than any of the morons commenting.
Shows how selfish the NRL are . Rugby league certainly not a essential service
With borders closed, and requiring visitors to self isolate for 14 days, best of luck.
Idiots
Covidiots. All of them. Give it up clowns. No one is going to give a shit about the NRL in 2 weeks.
Grab a fkn brain nrl
Keep the gronks entertained
Here is your chance ScottMorrisonMP: be a leader for once
Players and coaches really worried about their million dollar salaries.
As long as the players are safe and happy to continue I can’t see the problem with this. People overreacting to the Bondi beach debacle.
Well with SA in lockdown; and Victoria and NSW and Northern Territory, they may have to second think this... I mean after all NRL are of course or regard themselves as an Essential service. 😡😡😡😡😡
Fools... 🤦♂️
PR Fail
Classic example of brawn over brain...keep going fellas just don't ask for tax payer funded bailouts to support your spoiled steroid brats and your multi billion dollar industry.
Ok when does the penny dropped for the greedy nrl ; how many people do you need to die
🤦♀️
Only until their players start dropping. Inevitable!
Meat heads.
Absolute idiocy.
Fuck NRL !
The NRL is clearly essential from a Darwinian point of view.
Ugh
