Eclipsed 245 Report post Posted March 26, 2020 AFL NRL NZ Rugby TAB A couple of bars on Viaduct .....it’s early days and already some deck of cards in both sport and business are swaying in the breeze. A bit scary,to be fair, if it lingers for what some are saying are time frames well past a year. Stakes in 2021 and beyond ain’t looking anything but well south of where they are today - natural attrition and not legislation is more likely to drive venue closures.

AFL will be last as they have millions in their coffers. Biggest rating sport in Australia by a mile and they have been smart with their money over the years. NRL is screwed and will need a OZ government bailout and assume the Warriors will need the same. Super rugby only a couple of years from finishing. I'm like Leo. You mention 4 sports then somehow bring bars in the viaduct into your discussion. Not sure what your angle is there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An article said that the NRL players are in for an 87% pay cut, in the Warriors case, that would be based on performance as they only look of any use for 13% of a game Pam Robson, Gruff, arjay and 1 other 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
