After the COVID shutdown, the NRL is back in all its unpredictable, hyperbolic, uplifting, maddening splendour. It was wondrous. nrl NRLBroncosEels

The NRL had cleared every hurdle, or ploughed straight through them, to win the race to restart in Australia, not that V'landys was keeping score. Even the fake crowd noise piped through the broadcast was met with a warm reception from the game's perennially displeased Twitterati.

Parramatta centre Michael Jennings scores as the Eels continue their unbeaten start to the interrupted season.If the home side had any issue with the call, they need have only looked to Gerard Sutton, who was putting in the hard yards on his own after the NRL binned the two-referee system that had been used since 2009.

Clint Gutherson, Michael Jennings, Waqa Blake and the hugely impressive Shaun Lane crossed in the second half, while the Broncos pack was belted back to Earth, with only Payne Haas making any serious headway. Outside of the stadium, two punters sat on camping chairs, peering out the big screen of the sparsely patronised pub over the road. One of them was wearing a Crushers jersey; hope springs eternal but even V'landys might struggle to deliver a miracle of that scale.

NRL I’m sure it will upset all of the paranoid out there. It’s like the revel in the thought of everyone isolating so our death rate doesn’t climb to 120 by the end of June.

NRL Fair enough. Eels if they play like this will win the Final.

'He pushed himself so hard he needed an ambulance': The toughness of Eels prodigy Dylan Brown'He pushed himself to a point when we had to send him off to hospital ... two days later, he was right to go again. He won the boys over. That shows his character. Tough kid.' No offence but sounds moronic. He collapsed from dehydration running a 2km time trial? That doesn't sound right. He sounds like he’s as thick as a pound of mince. And if he is, he’s playing the right sport.

Virus risk of contact sport lower than first feared, says World Rugby medical chiefWorld Rugby chief medical officer Martin Raftery says rugby players could be less at risk of transmitting COVID-19 than basketballers and athletes in semi-contact sports given how the disease is spread. No one breathing in this pic then? It’s all bull shhhyte. The data is in, including the outing of the fake data and criminal acts to tamper numbers of covid19 deaths. In Australia the corona has been a nothing burger. All our infections came from Iran, Italy & the boats. This psyop worked to lockdown us all.
