International Rugby league and that bloody virus

Bad decision

It should’ve been two referees for this season and if they want to reassess it, do it in the off season. However, I was a tentative supporter of going back to one referee next year. That was until Cooper Cronk talked about why he got frustrated in Test football because he couldn’t play the same game because of the one referee system failing to police the ruck properly.

The countdown is on. The return is imminent.

10 MORE DAYS. No matter what the rules are, I'm just looking forward to parking myself on the couch and watching some live league action.

Looking forward to it.
Some great games set for round 1,
Broncos/Eels, Roosters/Rabbitohs, Storm/Raiders should be rippers on paper.

Panthers/Knights should be fun too.

The AMA’s job is to advise. When it comes to anything to do with economic activity they should only be advising about the risks. Others should be responsible for avoiding these risks by making it safe for crowds to attend.

to think that the referees dispute was going to be the last bit a bad press that the NRL was going to have before the re-start and now a positive drug test.

4 new stadiums, now than ANZ Stadium upgrade not going ahead?

 

[Aucklander]

If they scrap ANZ, why would they then spend money on new stadiums? Can't see it happening.
