How would you restart the competition?

Okay, the NRL needs to restart if it is to survive. You are in charge of restarting the competition. How do you do it?

A few rules: 

- Restart date is June 1

- You need to address quarantine and prevent the spread of COVID-19

- What are you doing regarding player families?

- Transport and facilities. How are you getting players, staff and families to and from games

- Small budget 

- Specify if you're just rebooting the clubs or also State of Origin

- How will the competition work? Draws, rounds etc.

- Where will matches be hosted?

- What about the Warriors?

- Are you renegotiating with Fox and Nine or are you going to other broadcasters?

- Are you trying to enter the American market with ESPN or something similar?

  • With one hell of a pair of jumper leads...

     

    Current points stand.

    Each team to play each other once.

    Origin after the season, played on 3 consecutive Friday nights.

  • Id have a comp where every team plays each other once, weve already had two rounds that should be counted, so 14 rounds left.

    Put them in Townsville.

    SOO is on but theres no byes, players who play origin can either back up or not just like the old days.

    Forget the American market, there is no market there, lets keep it real and try and renegotiate a deal with 9.

     

    • 9 will come back or someone desperate for content will

       

    • I don't know why you'd ignore the American market. The NRL is strapped for cash, an additional international broadcast deal would help shore up the bank account. It's not like there are any active American sports at the moment.

      • FoxSport has the rights to the American market. Can’t sell what has already been sold 

        • They only do three games per round. So they show less than 50% of club matches.

        • If they tear up the contract or refuse to come to the party the rights revert to the NRL. 

          • And the NRL has no capacity to telivise anything, can't even live stream their own meetings.

            • There are other networks they can sell them onto, as Super has already suggested, ESPN.

  • Replace th Warriors this season only with either a combined Redcliffe/Ipswich side or a Norths side with borrowed players from Canterbury Cup sides.
