They are allowing it to run because everyone is allowed to go to work, everyone in the state. And the players travel in bubbles, quite regularly now they are in non-Sydney locations.
NRL has a much much stricter level of lockdown than general public and they are demonstrating aggressive action towards breaches.
So all-in-all, compared to Joe Public, NRL is pretty safe. Hasn't been a COVID case amongst NRL players in the entire pandemic?
Not everyone, only essential services. NRL is no different to your putt putt golf or soccer or any other recreational sport.
Places like retail are open but atleast you can socially distance there, football you can't.
NRL has strict lockdown because they cannot continue otherwise. The players and staff have shown they can't be trusted and you can't wait until there is a COVID case to take action. You can't keep making exemptions.
Imagine being an owner of a business that isn't receiving an exemption. Also, these guys aren't playing for country. I'd be happy for them to make exemptions for travelling if they're representing Australia but this is a domestic competition.
For me, I'm glad. But those who don't follow NRL and are sufferring financially, it'd be a bitter pill to swallow.
