I don’t think anyone is suggesting a Nation has to be begged to play. There has been a few issues in the World in the last two years, there were contracts to sign to say a Nation was attending, the Kiwis signed it I don’t think Australia did. Its a bit like two years ago when Great Britain toured the SH and they had not got Australia on board to play when they organised it. it must have lost a fortune and was a disaster on the field that lowered GB/England’s standing in the game more than ever.

On a positive note it’s a shame the WC is not going ahead but it will give England chance to develop some Players 1-6 in the backs. The current English squad would not beat many of the Pacific Island teams never mind Oz and the Kiwis.

Did Australia ever sign up for the RLWC? They were expected to attend but never signed up for it.

All of the teams have to be in the same bubble. Are you suggesting Canberra can support all of the NRL teams with accommodation and facilities to keep the game going? I can not see it myself.

You can do one mate. Australia and NZ can make their own minds up. .

So you hope someone wipes down the weight bench before your session. That is not a Bubble at all. Its a random joint use of a Gym with the hope that the basic pay cleaners are doing more than they are getting paid to do. Good luck with that. You wonder why AUS and NZ do not want to visit Visit Covid Island.

Tough guy. You still as tough when some ones close to you dies,

You obviously are a major decision maker and know what should be done.

It was last week

That says everything about you.

The Kiwis and the Players association have been saying in this last week that they are waiting on final details about the “Bubble”

That is not what was talked about on a BBC podcast last week

Maybe they are not happy with the shared Hotel and Gym facilities. Why would the Rugby League teams administrators look at what the Union teams accept or approve? They would look at what they are getting. So you are saying there was no isolation bubble at all? Maybe that is why the Kiwis were worried? I am neither for or against what has happened but some of the mad rubbish posted on this site in the last two days makes you wonder.

That is what you believe. I am only quoting what was said on BBC 5 live podcast.

It has everything to do with Covid, a lot of the World does not agree with the UKs approach. Tell me how is the Super League season going? But.. but the experts tell us we will have herd immunity and no cases soon after the spike.. maybe.

The team is isolated together, once they compete they fly home to 14 day isolation. They isolated in Cairns before travelling to Japan.

I didn’t say that did I. You tell me are they sharing the Gym? The head of the Kiwis said that, Tommygilf said it’s the way it is. What do you know?

Sharing a Gym with all and sundry hardly makes it any sort of Bubble at all. Many Players from the Pacific Islands will not get a Vaccine where does that leave them in a Public Gym and Hotel with 40-50k cases a day? Just playing Devils Advocate.

I love to make you laugh DKR, it makes my day mate I mean DKW

They are in total isolation. The arenas are empty. Have you ever heard of the term Apples and Apples?

So you are saying there was no isolation bubble at all? Maybe that is why the Kiwis were worried? I am neither for or against what has happened but some of the mad rubbish posted on this site in the last two days makes you wonder.

The reporter who asked the head of NZ Rugby League

Just out of interest has anyone listened to the latest podcast of BBC 5 Live? It was said that the New Zealand team would be sharing accomodation with general members of the pubic if they toured and were sharing Gym facilities with all and sundry walk ins. I do not know if that is true but if it is it’s hardly any sort of safe bubble where you would feel safe. Just saying.

RIP John Cornell. Condolences to his friends and Family.

No. No one will beat them if they travel, if they don’t the World Cup will be just Northern Hemisphere sides. After the recent England game France may win that if they try hard enough.
