1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Job mission with Jonesy and Amanda. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: I was really on the weekend Darius Boyd, retiring Brisbane veteran, saying, look, 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 2: I'm not asking for sympathy, but I am just saying 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 2: that this lockdown for the players is hard and some 5 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: won't have the emotional tools to handle it to go 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 2: through what their rules are, particularly for teams that are 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 2: in Queensland and Victoria. I guess Jim Dole in our 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: sports Guy Hello, and so in this article it says 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: that there's no sex, no walking the dog, no grocery shopping, 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: stay away from cafes, restaurants, no visitors in your home. 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 2: That's pretty much what the NRL is asking of this plan. 12 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: No sex with strangers, so they can't go on the 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: dating apps, and they can't meet girls after the game, 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: et cetera. So they can have sex with their wives 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: and girlfriends. 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: Girlfriends into it because they out here like they had 17 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: to social distance from their families, they couldn't share roots 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: with them. 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: There are certainly cases, and it's not just the teams 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: in Queensland. I think Arrius has got a little bit 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: of we're down the bottom of the ladder. This is 22 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: terrible because there's a number of guys at Penrith who 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: have had to move away from their families because they 24 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: either work in an industry that's not deemed safe or 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: they think that they go near people who are risky 26 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: in their everyday life. We know Bradman Best from Newcastle. 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: He can't live with his mum and dad because mum's 28 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: a nurse, so he's had to move out on his 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: own while this is going on. So it's not all 30 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: just Queensland. And as you see, they can't go for 31 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: haircuts in New South Wales because they've been doing it 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: to each other as you would see by it, especially. 33 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 2: At the Sharks. 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 1: The worst haircuts in the world on that side. 35 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: So what are the rules because Darius Boyd said that 36 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: when they play against a team Roosters last week, they 37 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 2: then have to isolate for fourteen days but don't have 38 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 2: to play again next weekend. 39 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to stay at home and abide by 40 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: some of the regulations you read out, But if they 41 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: had to do the fourteen days quarantiny, they're only be 42 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: playing once every three weeks. Most difficult thing for the 43 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,279 Speaker 1: Queensland teams is the travel, which the Teley highlights today 44 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: is that Penroth has traveled less than a thousand CA's 45 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: this season, but teams like the Cowboys obviously in Towns 46 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: all have travel nearly sixteen thousand, So that's that's their 47 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: biggest difference. And I would imagine it is difficult for 48 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: everybody that's involved in rugby league to only mix with 49 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: your friends, and if you've got a small family, you're 50 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: allowed to mix with them. But Spira thought for people 51 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 1: in Melbourne who can't even mix. 52 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: With that, the Melbourne players, you mean, well not. 53 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: Even Melbourne players with them being in lockdown currently, if 54 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: you're at home with your immediate family and can't go anywhere. 55 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: So is Darius correct that we do need to give 56 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: them more attention to the mental health aspects of this. 57 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: Every club does have that sort of thing, and they do, 58 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: but once again, I think it goes back to their 59 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: second last on the ladder and they got rid of 60 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: the coach and nothing got any better. I think that 61 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: would have a lot more to do with their mental 62 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: health at the moment than being stuck at home. Being 63 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: stuck at home is probably good for them at stopping 64 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: them getting in trouble at pubs and things. Well, the 65 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: poor wives and girlfriends, may they never meet. Thanks for 66 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: that chip. Thanks in the newsroom. Back to the newsroom 67 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: for gym with Jos and Amanda.
