Suggesting Uffie should be sacked is nonsense (I still can't work out whether you were joking).

Being a bit negative about next season - and a huge amount of that pessimism is due to the problems with Covid and Nix maybe having to do another hub - is just being realistic. The other big blow being possible halving of salary cap/player's wages. The Nix have good people in charge, but little to no control over these 2 big issues.

Flip side is that all other 11 teams (well non NSW sides) likely face pretty much the same problems. Just Nix coming from a different country is a bit more acute. Not saying it will be disatrous at all, esp with Talay there, and his knack for uncovering some young Aussie talent.

Who knows maybe the politicians/health experts on both sides of the Tasman, will change strategy, rule out elimination, concede we have to live with Covid day to day (mandatory mask wearing everywhere, isolating old people's homes etc etc etc etc) - but upside is that travel within Australia and to/from NZ opens up. It's a debate that is going to increase in volume (people will start to revolt if need to go into further lockdowns), but yeah any controversial strategy change in that direction will be months away yet.
