      Yet The Bus was allowed out, and some netballers, and waikato ladies got to run from 2 different Level 3 areas.

      Inconsistent

        For the netballers, only 4 players were allowed to leave, but not any of the Auckland-based support staff. That included the team manager and physio amongst others.

        The MoH should be consistent though.

        Where were the teams going to be based in their latest proposal? Was it still at Wairakei?

          @bovidae yea Taupo. The early word is the 3 teams aren't keen on a 'tri-series' of any kind so that's probably all she wrote for NH, CM & Akl.

              We're paying people wages and they can't play. We can't generate revenue. All the gaming venues which we rely on for a lot of our community game are trying hard to help but their venues are shut. Sponsors are very loyal but they don't do it for no return either, so that's another difficult part to manage.

              so wages are a sunk cost, players don't generate revenue. NPC crowds don't cover fark all. Sponsors have already paid up...
              .. the one nugget there - a LOT of the income comes from.. pokies. "gaming venues".
              Ciggie sponsorship got shut down years ago - this is so much worse.

                      So weird that Level 3 you should be at home but all these sports teams are just legging it. Kinda defeats the purpose IMO

                          It is going to be a very light schedule for this round as neither Waikato or Northland will be able to train until Friday at the earliest.

                              @taniwharugby OK. I hadn't heard that. So everyone is in the BOP, including the Black Ferns. 🙂

                              Waikato is meant to be playing Taranaki at home.

                                @bovidae we are meant to have Otago at home, I believe they were looking at Rotorua as an alternative due to lights as opposed to Tauranga domain.

                                By Thursday assume be too late to change venues.
