Bully Wee Villa Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Probably best if I rename the other thread, makes more sense to have separate League and Union threads I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajwffc Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 From the NRL press release Quote Clubs returning to home grounds from round eight NRL clubs will be able to host games at their regular home grounds in two weeks' time as Canterbury explore the prospect of hosting up to 10,000 fans at ANZ Stadium to start next month. The Australian Rugby League Commission (ARLC) confirmed on Friday that from round eight teams can return to their traditional venues, starting with Melbourne's showdown with 2018 grand final opponents the Roosters at AAMI Park on July 2. The Raiders will also be able to take their clash with the Dragons back to GIO Stadium the following day, with the ACT government approving a "pilot stadium program" for between 1000-2000 fans to attend games in July. The Bulldogs-Rabbitohs clash is currently scheduled for Sunday, July 5 at Bankwest Stadium but may be able to draw a larger crowd as discussions around shifting the game to ANZ Stadium continue. The NSW government has approved up to crowds of up to 10,000 to attend sporting events, provided it amounts to 25 per cent or less of a venue's capacity. ANZ Stadium and the SCG are the only NSW venues big enough to meet such a quota. The latter could now host the Roosters mouth-watering grand final rematch with Canberra on Thursday, July 16, as the Sydney Swans AFL fixtures at the ground are only confirmed up until July 5. But with ANZ Stadium's planned rebuild scrapped by the NSW Government, Canterbury and South Sydney have been exploring the possibility of shifting their round eight match to accommodate 2,500 more fans than would be allowed at Bankwest Stadium. The Queensland government has announced up to 2000 fans will be permitted to attend the Titans-Dragons clash at Suncorp Stadium as it trials a return for crowds as well. Elsewhere Newcastle and the Gold Coast can return to their respective home cities, while the likes of Manly (Brookvale), Penrith (Panthers Stadium), the Dragons (Netstrata Jubilee Stadium and WIN Stadium) and Cronulla (Netstrata Jubilee Stadium) are also able to return to their traditional venues. The Warriors will remain based on the NSW Central Coast and play out of Gosford amid hopes that a "New Zealand-Australia bubble" will allow travel between the two countries, and the Kiwi club to return home, at some point this season. "This is an outstanding outcome for our clubs, our players and importantly our fans who have been so loyal, and patient, throughout this crisis," ARLC chairman Peter V'landys said of the return to home grounds for NRL clubs. "Our fans are everything and the opportunity to have them back in their home ground stands, is the greatest reward of all for their unwavering passion. I cannot wait to see and hear the return of that tribalism which makes rugby league so special. "I also want to thank the State and Federal Governments for their ongoing assistance and to the Queensland government for allowing crowds of up to 2000, that’s a great result for Queensland fans." The prospect of ANZ Stadium hosting NRL games next month comes as regular tenants Canterbury and South Sydney weigh up their long-term commitments at the Olympic venue. The Rabbitohs this week sent out a survey to the club's 30,000-strong member base canvassing where they would like home games to be played from long-term. they are also making a big song and dance about all the Clubs heading home while forgetting about one thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Good game between the Roosters and the Eels so far. Great to see the Morris twins still playing well, been a big fan of theirs since this punchup 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregorW Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Pleased to see the Tigers win again, hopefully they’ll find some consistency. I still prefer watching them with Benji playing but think his time is coming to an end! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Was wondering why Storm and Warriors players had poppies on their shirts but it’s because game was originally scheduled for ANZAC Day. Warriors doing ok after all their turmoil this week but Storm will storm home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpar Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Super League to resume on August 2nd with a triple header at one venue. As much as I like NRL, there is something a little too polished about the league sometimes compared to the rough around the edges Super League, similar in contrast to the English Premier and Championship. Toronto I'd think won't play a real home game this year, especially if the league runs till November, Lamport Stadium belongs to the city of Toronto and they usually put a dome over the field in October. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Radley has been sensational this year, maybe the best player in the comp. I thought the best lock was between Murray, Taumololo and Jake Trbojevic but he'd be hard to look past right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Some finish to the Eels-Raiders game. Raiders score 2 in the last 5 minutes to draw level, and we're into golden point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JTS98 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Good game tonight with Storm and Roosters. Two detestable sides, but it looks like the Storm are going to nick it. The more detestable of the two. ETA: Looks like golden point. Edited July 2, 2020 by JTS98 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afca32 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Can't remember wanting the Storm to win for a long time but the Roosters winning every week was getting unbearable. That was the best finish to a game of rugby league that I've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Good win for the Warriors today. Siebold can’t have much time left in charge of the Broncos. Penrith looking pretty in pink so far against themTigers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
