This is soooooooooooo bad. Everything is farked. I really hope this virus is somehow brought under control ASAP. Not really because of NRL, but because of everything else like the economy and job market.

Sadly the only way out I can see is a cure and vaccine. We clearly cannot stop the spread of it on our own and even if we did, all it takes is one person who still has it to make it all flare up again.

If NRL disintegrates.

do we find ourselves with a one off draft for all the free agents?

would be interesting. Completely resetting the clock and ushering in new era.

I'd like to see all the Sydney teams scrapped and getting a South, north, west, south west and East represent. Maybe a central (eels).

Press forward with a 12 or 14 team Como, which is more where we are at in skill level across the board.

The way I see it, no big deal if we lose the dogs IF no one else gets to keep theirs either... in Sydney.
I don't think Souths should be flicked though as that is our link to history and community as a competition. Too iconic to lose as they are the pride of the league. I also technically see no reason to get rid of eels if you take forward the central suburban idea.

maybe if you guys prefer we can have the South suburbs Bullogs with blue, black and white and a similar logo. Essentially meaning we survive in an evolved state. Not against that at all.

Im just really worried about the real victims here.....Rugby League journos.

I mean, what's going to happen to Weidler and Rothfield with no NRL going on? I wouldn't want them to be out of a job...........

They will start looking through players garbage to dog dirt on them.

And the players will no doubt provide.

Parra fans would be dirty
Gives me half a chubby

olympics will go on and miraculously someone from italy will win gold medal, stay woke!
Yeah nah..

if 8 clubs die, we will make the finals this year
I like it

We peak in september last few years. We're definitely specials if they resume the comp in 6 months.
Premiers for sure !

Imagine how fat Latrell Mitchell will be with another off season lol
Hahahaha, I thought we were looking for a prop, sign the fat ***** up..

Too true, in 48hrs in my house with 4 adults we have a sole trader (me) and two casuals put out of work.. Its a strange time and a once in a life time event. One we didn’t ask for or need and way more catastrophic than most can currently see..

Best wishes to all, be safe and hopefully we all catch up to put shit on each other on the other side.

Again HELL NO!!!! Our proud club has 85 years of history to grow on. As for as you quoted our link to history Souths would be a distant NRL after thought if they had their way, Russel Crowe should Kiss our clubs butt for saving his precious little bunnies, in supporting them in every way up till their reinstatement. If it wasn't for the Dogs they would be history. As for the Eels ??? Stop playing with yourself Nasheed.

Buzz must be having conniptions tonight.
No footy and the pubs are closed. At least he’s get plenty of time on his hands now to continue his fiction writing career.

He was sweating like a pig on 360. He is either very unwell or needed a drink.
