I see they are continuing to play but behind closed doors.. interesting to see how it goes.

Well, they're more dependent on TV money than gate receipts, so they need to find a way to play games, but looking at clips from some of the Australian media, their attitude is totally different to ours, but that may change as the number of cases there will no doubt escalate

Australia is probably the best place to be though - a huge distance from anywhere else and huge distances between most of their major cities. A continent size country with a population of 25Million? Nowhere is better placed to contain this.

Has anyone come across the campaign on Twitter for people to buy supporter memberships for the Warriors as a thank you for what they have done for the competition.

See @yeahvictoriaaa_ on twitter

They are NZ$35 which with the slimy NZ$7 ticketmaster tax works out at just under £20. Also to save postage for the Warriors you can donate your membership pack to someone in greater need of it than yourself.

Cases are on the increase in Australia, this is really rather stupid. Just play old games on tv. They can show all those fantastic SOO punch ups of the past in endless loop.

Surely the fact that 24m people live in about 5 major cities makes them pretty vulnerable.

And with strong business and social links with Asia.
