So now a Cronulla player has been tested positive for coronavirus

Surely the competition will be suspended now:

The New Zealand Government's decision to tighten border restrictions in response to coronavirus may see the NRL season postponed.

The ARL Commission and NRL will announce the outcome of an emergency meeting at a media conference on Sunday morning.

The Warriors will need to be quarantined for 14 days if they are to return to New Zealand after midnight (local time) on Sunday

They'd probably lose a game in there as well

Wayne Bennett's idea of moving all of the teams up to the warmer climate of Townsville seems to be a reasonable idea. It's a magic weekend concept at short notice. The trouble is would there be enough fit players to compile a full weekend of fixture? I think they could get at least 3 games played- involving the queensland teams.

If these are in trouble then what is the trouble for SL? https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/03/15/com ... c-for-nrl/

Wasn't the Cowboys v Bulldogs scheduled to be on Sky?

Just read Taumalolo ran over 345 metres. That's insane.

Is that a record, especially for a forward ?
As you say, insane

So, based on the NRL game this morning, could SL play behind closed doors and have it shown on SKY?

Yes but I am not certain that is going to happen.

No because even team training goes against the social distancing recommendations (which are likely to become more than just recommendations soon) and Super League clubs can't afford to play matches without crowds. Sky won't be offering extra money to show these games because they are losing money themselves through pausing Sky Sports subscriptions.

Andrew John's - "I don't think we've seen a more devastating forward. This bloke is on another level."
I tend to agree.
His $10 million, 10 year contract is looking like a very smart bit of business by the Cowboys.

Not the first time JT has topped 300m either. The guy is a freak.

Enjoyed Panthers/Dragons and Broncs/Souths. Well deserved wins in both cases.

Games with no crowds was weird. Not sure why the Broncos carried on playing music and having a PA announcer though

Warriors v Canberra was a bit underwhelming and not really worth setting the alarm for.
Warriors doing it tough exiled from home but dont think they'd have put any points on but for the penalty try.
Roosters v Manly next up. Heavyweight battle and will hopefully put a better show on.
