Corona impact on NRL...?

The wait is over for anxious NRL fans and coaches with the game to release the first two rounds of the revamped draw on Friday.

Chairman Peter V’landys confirmed round three and four of the competition will be made public Friday with the rest of the season to be known next week.

“Tomorrow we will issue the draw for the first two rounds,” V’landys said. “The problem we have is the broadcasters. We are caught in the middle of it, we are trying to finalise it.

“I’ve discussed with (chief executive) Andrew (Abdo) and Andrew and I agree we should just do the first two rounds to get the coaches up and going again.

“We will do the rest by next week. I’m frustrated like everyone else about the draw.”

The Roosters and South Sydney rivalry is expected to be among the eight games when the competition resumes on March 28.

Plans to have Monday football return have been scrapped.

Club bosses were told earlier this week they should not anticipate a draw until next week.

At this time last year (or the year before or the year before that or any year)
would players be getting stood down for not getting a flu jab?

So why are they now?

Because it was part of the deal with the Government(s) on the restart of the NRL that all players and staff be vaccinated. This was one of the conditions of allowing the restart of the NRL. Had it not been included none of the State Governments would have agreed to the proposal.

And forcing people to get flu shots become ok when?

The players have a choice, there are consequences to that choice. They can decide. No one is holding them down and forcing a needle into them.

They're being forced to choose between two options that they don't want.
Not really a fair to call it a choice.

If you're forced to choose between getting a bullet in the head or hand over your wife and kids, would you say that's a fair choice?

Because it's the same thing (maybe a little more at stake) but that's not my point, you're still being forced to choose between two options that you don't want

Not the same at all. That’s life. You get to choose if you like to or not. If you don’t like the options your employer gives you you go and find another job. Another career even. It’s still your choice. It happens all the time.

It's exactly the same, their being forced to do something against their will and their pay is being held at ransom until they do.

That's pretty much putting someone's livelihood at risk if you ask me.
It's totally wrong!!!

They are not being forced to do anything against their will. They are given a choice. It’s a feee society and they can either choose to accept it or do something else. It’s not totally wrong at all, in fact it’s totally right.

I disagree

And you are wrong.

You don't get to just claim that someone is wrong, you have to demonstrate it

Says the fool that does just that constantly in the Bitcoin thread, I don't know how many times you have told people they are wrong and refused to give a reason.

In saying that, I demonstrated you were wrong in my previous post. The players have a choice.

You don't get it do you?
It's not about whether they have a choice it's about the options they're being forced to choose between.

Do you have another option that won't endanger the lives of all other people involved including thier own families
Can you imagine what life would be like for humans if there was no such thing as medicine which is available and which is specifically designed to save people's lives
Ever had a filling without a needle
Stitches without a needle perhaps
Pain killers for broken bones
Valium for depression
Antihistamine for itching
Etc etc etc
There are many drugs being used every day by people
Including those players who don't want the needle
Its a cop out by these players
They have no problem with a pain killing injections if they get injured

Cartwright hasn't played good football for years so it's no skin off his nose not to play
He plays like he is disinterested anyway
He will still want and expect his pay cheque though
Like someone said earlier
It was no issue for him to pay a female to go have an abortion and end the life of an unborn child
But what a gutless and self centered man he is to refuse a flu jab that could potentially save lives including his own and also effect the lively hoods of every other person who is employed by the NRL.
Not only that but what about the millions of people like you and me that would love to see the NRL back up and running, with caution of course.
So
If he doesn't want the flu shot
Then he shouldn't play
Same as any other player

So every year previously every NRL player has been "endangering lives" by not getting the flu jab, is this what you're saying?

And considering the jab is only around 46% effective, are half the players that do get it also endangering lives?

Let me ask you
Have you been immunized for the German Measles ?
If so why
Ever had needles inject you with some kind of medical treatment
Any tattoos
There are reasons for taking the flu shot this year more so then others
If you went to school you could work that out if you listened

One last question for you
Are you totally organic in what you eat and drink
Just about everything you eat or drink these days has chemicals but you would still consume these

Absolutely. Everything organic is made up of chemicals, that’s the irony of the whole natural vs chemicals argument. Our bodies and cells have chemical reactions continuously and they need to or we are dead. Before we go down the natural path argument, arsenic is natural and is deadly as are many natural things.

They can go and join the Centrelink queue with everyone else and apply for the $750 a week. Plenty of newly jobless people that didn't get the choice, they just got the bullet.

Yes exemption based on previous bad reaction to a flu shot apparently.

Where did this "previous medical history/problem" surface before?

No idea
 
Hahaaaaaaaaaaaa so let's get this straight.

The ultimatum was....

Get the flu shot and play
Or
Don't get it and don't play

And what happened was
He didn't get the flu shot and he's playing.

Brilliant just brilliant 👌😄

Just showed how the government and the NRL are a complete joke.

Don't care too much for Cartwright as a player but I respect him for standing his ground and refusing to be bullied.

Very very sad news for Titans supporters.

I would say Cartwright is the player past or present that I have least respect for. He is deadset gutless. Won’t tackle, won’t hit the line, absolute pretender of the highest order.
