NRL’S DARKEST DAY CLOUDED FUTURE: RUGBY LEAGUE CALLED OFF TROY DODDS

T

hey valiantly fought on, but in the end the NRL was left with no choice but to suspend the 2020 season after two rounds.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg and ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys confirmed on Monday that the competition was being placed on immediate hiatus.

The NRL took advice from health experts, who said it was no longer safe for the players to continue the season.

Greenberg said all clubs and players were briefed on the decision.

“Our situation has changed dramatically. We have made the unprecedented decision to suspend the 2020 season. It is indeed a very sad day but one of the most

responsible days in our game’s history,” he told a press conference.

“Today is a difficult day for the rugby league community here at head office and across all of our clubs and players.”

The NRL has closed its offices until May 1 with all staff asked to take annual leave.

“While I say it’s a tough day for the game, we know it’s a tough time for everyone across our community,” Greenberg said.

“All we can do as a sport and as a community is remain united and follow the expert advice to keep ourselves and all of our families safe.”

The NRL played Round 2 matches last weekend with no crowds, and was prepared to do so for as long as it took. But new restrictions, including Queensland closing its borders, made it impossible for the season to continue.

The decision will throw the NRL into

financial oblivion, and will put immense pressure on many of the competition’s 16 clubs.

“It’s catastrophic. I don’t think we have ever come across a financial crisis like this,” V’landys said.

“This is a financial crisis. You can’t understate it. It’s probably the biggest financial challenge the game will face in its history.”

Greenberg said he was hopeful the 2020 season would resume at some stage, with all options on the table.

It is understood the earliest the game is likely to return is June, while the latest a reduced season could commence is early September. The Grand Final could be played as late as December 20.

The NRL will meet with broadcasters Fox League and Channel Nine in the coming days.

Penrith Panthers veteran Josh Mansour said he was devastated by the season’s shutdown.

“Shattered it’s come to this. Tough times, not only for rugby league but for everyone,” he said on Twitter.

“We’re all in this fight together and we’ll get through it – look after one another and stay healthy.”

ABC Grandstand broadcaster Andrew Moore praised the leadership of the code during the Coronavirus pandemic.

“Proud of the leadership shown by Todd Greenberg and Peter V’landys... like everyone else in the game, [I] feel gutted for those who will be out of work... most of all, will miss the sport we love,” Moore said.

The game has effectively been shut down with staff sent on leave at clubs right across the code, including Penrith.

WITH THE MASKED PANTHER

NRL’S UNCERTAIN FUTURE !

Rugby league finds itself in uncharted waters in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis, with the competition dramatically shut down earlier this week. The impact across the code is massive, with hundreds of staff let go and major uncertainty about the financial viability of rugby league in the future. A lot of people have been asking me about Penrith. I’m being given every indication Panthers will survive the crisis, but the financial hit will be massive. Plenty of staff have already been forced on leave or stood down, including major names within the club. Right now, we all have to hold our breath and hope we all come out on the other side.

Spotted: Peter Wallace, Josh Mansour and Isaah Yeo catching up with old teammate Trent Merrin after last Friday night’s match between Penrith and the Dragons.

While there was no love lost during the game between Merrin and his former teammates, it was all smiles once the fulltime whistle had blown.

!

Prior to the NRL competition being suspended, the Panthers moved to shut down their usual media opportunities with technology paving the way for journalists to chat with players. Ivan Cleary, Dean Whare and James Tamou all conducted media interviews via Zoom teleconferencing over the past week. The post-match press conference with Ivan Cleary still went ahead at Kogarah last Friday night, but social distancing was well in force. Attending journalists at the presser were not even allowed to sit their phones and recorders on the table, with writers instead provided with audio after the fact.

!

Former Panthers boss and current Nine commentator Phil Gould has urged everyone to stick together during the Coronavirus shutdown. “Extraordinary times. Many will be hurting and doing it very tough following these developments,” he said on Twitter this week.

“They’ll need support and kindness. Let’s all provide our share of both. We will get through this challenge. Australia will recover. Our game will bounce back.”

!

We all saw the scenes at Leichhardt Oval last weekend with fans desperate to see some footy despite being locked out, and it was the same at other grounds too. We spotted this die-hard Dragons fan outside the locked gates at Kogarah ahead of last Friday night’s game between Penrith and St George-Illawarra. Prior to the NRL being called off, I’m told Penrith fans were planning to cheer the side on from the fences surrounding Panthers Stadium when the side played Brisbane next weekend.

sponsors in the coming weeks. The club is trying to put together a collection of offers and discounts to not only keep local businesses strong during the Coronavirus shutdown, but to ensure Members have even more access to great deals during this period of uncertainty.

Panthers youngster Matt Burton certainly raised a few eyebrows with a saucy Instagram post last week. No harm done, but whacking that profile on ‘private’ may be a good move for the rising star.

Following the Government’s announcement that pubs and clubs would also have to close due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Panthers was forced to shut five of its licensed premises around the state on top of its rugby league department.

Fletcher said it’s been a taxing few days seeing so many people out of work, but

that he was doing everything in his power to see Panthers survive.

“It’s been a hectic time the last 48 hours… there hasn’t been much time to get my head around it. We just have to make sure we come out the other end financially sound and so forth,” he said.

“I’m sure we’ll be here at the end of it but early indications suggest this could

anthers will survive – that’s the message CEO Brian Fletcher desperately wants the local community to know after the club shut its doors this week.

Following an undefeated start to the new footy season, the Panthers are on holidays again – forced to take at least one month’s leave due to the NRL shutdown announced on Monday.

While some NRL clubs could struggle to survive these uncertain times, Fletcher is confident Panthers will come out the other side.

Speaking with Extra Time on Tuesday, Fletcher said the Rugby League Academy would be closed by week’s end while the players and football department would be on indefinite leave.

“The players are on leave for a month but that could be extended to two months, it just depends when we get an indication from the NRL as to when the comp will start up again,” he said.

“We’re hoping all the staff can come back because right now they are just taking extended holiday leave and long service

last for six months and we’re OK with that financially.

“It’s going to put a big hole in the place, but we’ll come out the other end, which is the main thing. We just have to keep working towards that and, if we can get out of it earlier, it will be a bonus.”

Panthers is expected to lose tens of millions of dollars during the indefinite shutdown, which will no doubt hit the local community very hard. Fletcher said while there will be a lot of pain in the interim, he can see life resuming to normality one day.

“We’ll be here at the finish I’m sure and will be playing rugby league games at Penrith again – it’s my job to make sure that we do come out the other side,” he said.

“Everything that I’m seeing now, in terms of cash flows and budgets, have been adjusted to reflect the massive downturn and it still indicates we’ll be there at the other end.

“The business will change but that’s just a fact of life because your income will drop dramatically.

“It’s an absolutely terrible time but we’ll work through that and pray to God that everybody gets back to work sooner rather than later.”

Rugby league will thrive, no matter what is thrown at it

lang on league What game I am looking forward to…

With the suspension of the season I’m looking forward to doing some yoga, knitting, cake decorating and playing with my kids this weekend. Such a shame because last week’s games were all very enjoyable.

What caught my eye last week…

The enthusiasm and physicality of the players despite there being no crowd to inspire or cheer them on. The hits were hard, the skill level high, in fact the effort shown by players in all matches was first class. No team looked even slightly affected by the lack of a crowd and if they were, I certainly couldn’t tell. The Warriors tried their backsides off in a game they were never going to win. Even the Gold Coast Titans, who were well beaten in the end, showed some serious resilience on their tryline until midway through the second half when the flood gates finally opened. I was worried that the lack of a crowd atmosphere would take away the spirit of the game, if anything, it lifted it.

with Peter Lang

ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys has shown plenty of leadership.

WW40679

The final word…

ARLC Chairman Peter V’landys and NRL CEO Todd Greenberg put up a great fight but in the end, as was expected, the Coronavirus won, at least for now.

While I think it’s the sensible thing to do, to suspend the competition and protect

the health and wellbeing of every player, coach and official involved in putting on a game, I still admire the leadership shown by the two head honchos at League HQ. They tried everything in their power to keep the competition going and I’m sure they’ll try everything in their power to make sure the competition starts up again as soon as it is medically possible.

There are a lot of naysayers sounding the death knell of the current NRL competition as it stands now. There have already been many headlines suggesting that the current 16 clubs may not ALL survive if no further games are played this year. Now while this is a distinct possibility, it is also at this stage, a ‘distant’ possibility. A lot of things would have to go wrong for this to become a reality and I can’t honestly see this happening.

The game has survived many threats to its existence over the years, the biggest one that comes to mind is the Super League/ARL War which began in 1995 and didn’t conclude until the end of 1997.

It cost the game countless hundreds of millions of dollars and numerous casualties along the way.

However the game survived. The game of rugby league is resilient. Mark my words, the game will not only survive COVID- 19 and everything else thrown at it, but it will thrive... again.

PANTHERS PUT WINS IN THE BANK NATHAN TAYLOR

B

efore the NRL announced its 2020 season was suspended indefinitely this week, Panthers players were in good spirits after winning back to back games to start the year.

Their latest – and what could possibly be their last – victory for the foreseeable future came last Friday night when they fought back from two tries down to defeat St George- Illawarra 32- 28 at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium.

Speaking after the 10 - try thriller, Panthers coach Ivan Cleary admitted he was very nervous when the Dragons led at half-time despite Penrith getting off to a strong 12-0 start.

“I was worried the whole second half, I was worried when Matt Dufty took the intercept because it changed the whole nature of the game,” he said. “[Despite leading] I wasn’t even that convinced [in us] even before that. Yes we were scoring points and looked in control but we just didn’t have the edge that you need to have.”

Fortunately for Cleary and the thousands of Panthers fans watching at home,

Penrith were able to come back from 10 points down late in the game, to record the unlikely win.

“To the Dragons’ credit, they were threatening in the second half, but you just have to find a way to win those

types of games early in the season and we managed to score the last two tries of the game… I was happy with that,” Cleary said.

It’s only the third time in the last 15 years Penrith have won consecutive games to open the season.

Panthers captain James Tamou said he was proud of his side’s performance and credited their resilience late in the contest.

“A win against any team in the competition is a good win. They were out to get their first win and I thought the boys did well not give up,” he said.

“The Dragons are a good side and they really put us to the test.”

One of the standout performers of the evening was new recruit Api Koroisau, who managed to cross the line for the first time this season.

Tamou said the 2014 Premiershipwinning hooker is the type of player Penrith had been missing for years as he complements halfback Nathan Cleary well.

“From what I’ve seen I think so and that’s not taking a swipe at anyone, it’s just saying how good Api is,” Tamou said.

“Nathan is playing some of the best footy I’ve seen him play and that goes with Api joining the team.”

Coronavirus will change rugby league as we know it

clinton maynard I

Todd Greenberg and Peter V’landys front the media on Monday afternoon. clubs, but if the cost base has to change how on Earth do clubs whose sustainability has been questioned for years continue in this new low cost environment?

In reshaping the competition I pray the decision makers have learnt the lessons of Super League but also the Big Bash League. Fewer clubs might be needed, but please do not lose the spirit and tradition of older Sydney clubs.

It’s the passion of the fans that makes league so great. Kicking Souths out of the competition and their revival in the years since proved the folly of eliminating tradition in favour or artificial creations like the Northern Eagles.

Are supporters of the Sydney Thunder or Sixers really all that passionate? After only a few years interest in the BBL is on the wane and much of that has to do with the

fact is a competition made up of artificial sides.

Sports fans need to support teams they can identify with and traditional Sydney clubs offer that.

Perhaps some clubs will disappear in this awful process, but please don’t replace them with merged artificial clubs, that’s when we see passion disappear from the game.

WW39752

write this shortly after attending one of the most worrying press conferences I’ve witnessed in my 20 years as a reporter.

I’ve just listened intently to NRL CEO Todd Greenberg and Commission Chairman Peter V’landys announcing the 2020 season would be suspended.

I think most observers of the game have seen this coming even before a ball was kicked off this season. However it was the tone of what they had to say which was so frightening.

V’landys has made it clear, not playing games would be catastrophic for the financial viability of the NRL for several weeks now. Announcing there’d be no games indefinitely he didn’t shy away from those earlier comments.

Greenberg has made it clear rugby league is in for months of pain, the game will survive but he admits it may look very different in the future. He says the cost base will need to change.

Now that will almost certainly mean players will have to accept pay cuts. That’s a relatively short-term solution and we’ll all move on from that. However reading between the lines I’d suggest Greenberg and V’landys suspect a 16-team competition will not be viable going forward.

The Chairman made it clear they will fight to ensure the viability of all 16
