NRL are planning on having the comp split into two conferences essentially - half the clubs will be based and play out of Penrith leagues club and the other half out of Olympic Park


Professional comps seems a bit more realistic. At least you can quarantine players and officials - That’s based on absolutely no setbacks.

There are 2 ways out of this virus
1.Vaccine which is 18 months away best case scenario or they don't find one or
2. Herd immunity
Do you honestly think the country can sustain and economy under current restrictions ???

Or you control cases within your own country without completely blowing up the economy and then from there control what comes in and then manage flare ups in the community. From there rewind things back slowly and maintain social distancing. Pretty much what SA, WA and Tasmania have done now.

herd immunity would mean starting in may
opening up cafes and pubs to lower capacities as we did at the start of this before we knew the spread.
watching for levels of increase over a 2 -3 week period knowing that there will be an increase but managing for health departments.
If working well after 2 weeks then move onto sporting groups at a senior level and again watching for potential spikes.
Whilst all elderly or high risk groups adhere to the current restrictions and only go out for essential health and food requirements.
With SA at such a low rate of community transmission this could work really well here and WA.

I witnessed new level ignorance this morning, I had to do a quick trip to the bank at Northpark shopping centre this morning, while I was driving through the carpark I noticed a bloke rummaging through a bin, he pulled out a coffee cup with a lid on it, shook it around for a sec and then drank the remnants from it tilting his head as far back as he could, absolutely appaling.

Not going to happen by May.

SA would need to widen testing criteria and go at least 4 weeks with ZERO new cases.

Herd immunity (a theory that isn't proven yet) relies on 60% of the population to be have been infected, obviously increasing the percentage of those infected increases the effectiveness of the "herd immunity.

Currently SA only at 0.0003% infected.

Bit of a while to go yet before the herd immunity theory becomes effective...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Despite low attendence rates prior to this week you didn't see kids everywhere as the parents who kept them home made sure they did exactly that.

This week is considered by the kids as an additional week of holidays so are out and about everywhere.

How is what kids do in their school holidays the responsibility of teachers? I doubt your boss is coming to your house during your annual leave instructing you to stay home, while having zero authority over you during that time.

I'll repeat, parents gotta parent.

Unfortunately there will be a lot more of this as well.

I think the government are doing a great job currently with government assistance and I hope they continue to do so.

If we have to pay for this for the next 10-15 years then so be it.

It'll be a lot longer but I don't care, we have to look after the here and now and worry about what impact it has later, we can't have people losing their homes or going to sleep hungry. That's not how our country works.

You can expect a rise in the GST and luxury items like cigarettes and grog are bound to sky rocket.

I don’t get the payment to long term doley’s.
That’s another story though.

But any payments or funds to keep people employed or business afloat, I’m happy to wear the cost for years to come.

I think you might be right with more than 15 years unfortunately.

I’m happy to pay extra tax in any form to assist moving forward though.

That's my only gripe, they aren't being disadvantaged.

I'm actually using this time to be smarter with my money and not take things for granted, I haven't been disadvantaged, I haven't stockpiled, I did buy an extra slab on two different visits to put away just incase the bottle shops close for any length of time but as a whole I'm trying to distinguish how much money I actually used to waste each month.

I like a beer, I like a punt and I love going to the pub, it's going to be interesting to see the difference now as whenever I had a win I'd take the missus out for dinner, go to the shop the next day to buy her a dress or some perfume, some shit for the house and a couple of things for myself, I can't do any of them anymore.
