      @canefan As I understand it, gatherings of more than 500 people aren't allowed anymore in Australia from Monday. I assume they can still play behind closed doors. For now.

        @Stargazer Won't affect the Titans games then as they struggle to get even 500 through the turnstyles whether paying spectators or those on complementaries.

          @Siam bringing league into disrepute, unless that's not on the misconduct list. Or the club doesn't renew their contracts/trades them because they have to retrench.

            Latest news is that the Warriors might pull out of this years comp. Local league comps might get a boost.

              @Godder I read the conduct breach was bringing them back to their hotel room. So probably not the biggest transgression in the book but a no no nonetheless.

                @mikedogz really? If they do that they might find it hard to come back. They’re already unwanted.

                What happened to the Kingscliff Warriors?

                  If they carried on got support from the NRL they could base themselves in Australia as long as it continues. Allow players to go on leave if they wish and recruit some aussie based players. The ones coming home can boost local league.

                      For some reason they seem to really need the money. Going to the government for a bailout (apparently) and desperate to keep their league going. Surely worst case scenario is the players don't get their full salary but enough to get them through.

                        The NRL and the A league are flying in the face of almost every other league in the world. It must only be a matter of time before a player tests positive then they will get shut down. I'd expect they will play to empty stadiums this week

                          @canefan As of today, Round 2 will be played behind closed doors and then the NRL will reassess the situation.

                                  That was the Australian government's regulation, not the NRL's. I suppose at least Super Rugby got almost half a season in!

                                      Are the NRL waiting for government action forcing their hand to allow for insurance or force majeure claims?

                                          @canefan As of today, Round 2 will be played behind closed doors and then the NRL will reassess the situation.

                                          That was the Australian government's regulation, not the NRL's. I suppose at least Super Rugby got almost half a season in!

                                          Yes. I was just answering the question, not the reason behind the NRL's decision.

                                          The A-League is now following the NRL and wanting to continue behind closed doors, forcing the Phoenix to be based in Aust. It's all about the money not player welfare.
