A key political ally for the NRL has conceded the competition will have to have special rules in place if the league is to get up and running by May 28.

NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro has told Sky News the state’s social distancing restrictions will remain in place for some time but insisted "there is a way forward" for the NRL but only if “measures” are put in place. "They have named a date in late May.

Now that may be ambitious or it may not be but whatever they choose to do they will still have to go through the process and the protocols and measures to protect players, staff and all those related to the game,” he said. “It is a tough call, but let's allow the NRL to pitch the governments and what they have in mind. “There is a way forward if there is a protocol and measures put in place.

Really rugby and league both suck. And socker. Just stop and can sports untill this crisis is over. Seriously do you like watching guys in short shorts run around on a field, tackeling each other. If so I suggest pornhub.

Thanks, scoop.

Greed for money does not overrule what is best for the public interest. Until there is a viable vaccine against COVID-19 available for the community at large, nobody should be contemplating the reopening of anything.

don't worry, the danger is miniscule: Remember, Fauci directed the chimera's creation

They say it's a work place. Other work places have to comply with social distancing rules. How does the NRL plan to comply with 1.5 metre social distancing rules, in their work place?

This may help the NRL now, but will affect it in the long run. 'Yes, Minister' ;)

They are selfish and demanding. app85 SMHsport This smacks of desperation. An opening gambit, trying to force the issue.
