Cronulla used the least amount of players in the Telstra Premiership with 27 - a remarkable stat considering the club boasts the oldest and most experienced team in the competition with an average age of 26.7.

This surprised me!

Probably surprised you because we didn't see much of the old brigade because they were injured. Out of sight, out mind.

not really a fair representation of the circumstances though is it

Vaccine still being rolled out = legs play under (at times, very strict) conditions

Everyone vaccinated = need everyone vaccinated to avoid conditions so sorry no unvaxxed

What conditions? Self isolating or playing in a bubble? What’s to stop them from doing it now? It’s fine for NRL to do that when they are losing money and they need them to play. Now those guys that went through all that, played in the bubble, kept the dollars coming in get hung out to dry

The players kept the dollars coming in for themselves mate. Do you think they get paid if the game is suspended for a long period of time?

You really think the NRL wanted the game to keep going to the players sake?

The least they could do is reimburse the players who aren’t vaxxed the money they had to sacrifice last year

You really think the players only played to look after the NRL?

I don't even know what is going on with the second part of the post, they should retroactively get paid the money their players union agreed to shave off so they could keep the comp running and pay them most of their wage still because they are being an ongoing headache for their club and the NRL?

No, and I’m not suggesting that. That’s your question. Of course you want to get paid your ridiculously high wage, why wouldn’t you?

I don’t get the second part of your post either

Ummm, yes.

Fair enough. You are welcome to think that, but I don’t think the power brokers really cared about the players, only their own bank accounts. They probably cared about getting the players on the field, but for their own sake.

Prayed to the man upstairs when I was 12 because I wanted to meet a girl from Young Talent Time. Never happened. I don't think he's real.

Why can't someone thank God and the surgeons involved? There are many of us Christians and other people of different faiths that believe in science too.
