NRL in crisis as QLD shuts borders
By George Vlotis15:47
The NRL is reportedly meeting this afternoon to discuss its options after Queensland announced it would be closing its borders by midnight Wednesday to mitigate the threat of coronavirus.

The development is just the latest curveball for the NRL who are desperately fighting to keep their season alive in a bid to stave off financial ruin.

Fixtures featuring the Broncos, Titans and Cowboys would all be placed on ice, throwing the league's scheduling into meltdown.

The NRL are reportedly hoping to use private charter planes as a loophole to get around the border closures but there is no guarantee this solution will be accepted at a government level.

If that is rejected it would force the NRL to assemble all the players in one state for as long as they hope to keep the competition running.

It has been reported that the NRL is looking into camp-style accommodation near Gladstone in central Queensland as an option to accommodate the 16 teams.

Are we not one of the more financially viable teams In the comp now? ?

All a guess for us fans as they don't release any figures. The did release a graph showing we made a loss last year though.

Oh right, I thought there was mention of us being one of the few teams to turn a profit year on year for the last few seasons. I guess no one knows how this situation will affect clubs individually anyway.

Yeah our profitability was repeated over and over on here but it wasn't the case. I reckon we'll need WA to come to the party big time.

Between Harry T and our Chair, hopefully they can sort things out if it comes to that.

Our owners have deep pockets

How would the ground hold up with 8 games every week being played on it?

You'd need more than 1 ground, you'd need to be able to bus or fly players in an isolated manner to other localities within the same jurisdiction. But all moot now.
