The NRL is considering taking games behind closed doors and locking out crowds in response to the growing coronavirus pandemic in Australia.
The governing body has set up a coronavirus sub-committee that is exploring all options and ramifications for the NRL and clubs if games are to be played in empty stadiums, or if the season is to be postponed.
The NRL will hold a meeting in Sydney on Friday and will take advice from federal and state governments, which could have ramifications on North Queensland’s opening match at their new stadium.

Not gonna lie, Insider...that's a pretty disappointing comment to read. I know we disagree on basically everything, but I'd never wish harm on you. I thought we were all a bit more grown up than that.

Well done The Barry. A very sensible post

No it's doesn't WW. When countries are imposing travel bans WITHIN their borders and closing schools, knowing it may trigger a recession you know it's a crisis. I work in health and have seen many crisis plans over the years. This one is the one that we've been planning for. And dreading. Many many people will die. Shut down sports events. Schools may not last the month either.

Anyone saying "it's like the flu" or "overhyped" better hope that COVID doesn't mutate and start taking the stupid first

On the bright side everyone will stay and home and blog on The Roar during the game. ; )

Best solution is wash your hands with bleach, drink your Scotch neat and don't go out with schoolgirls under 17.

Titans and Suns will have to stop lying about their crowds to keep their couple of dozen fans coming through the gates.
