Message: [QUOTE="Organix, post: 3294093, member: 8187"] I agree with you here to some extent, but I think it's assuming that these footballers control themselves in only having one beer. However, they've already proven they are unable to control themselves in not attending a gathering that was expressly forbidden. Furthermore, some players drove there and others were reported to have run home 5k or so. Now, if we assume that potentially one beer turns into a few more, then those who traveled by car are now really risking a drink-driving offense. So, perhaps they retain the services of an Uber, with a driver outside of the bubble. Or they walk home, and are met on the way by a group of people who are also outside the bubble. Or perhaps enter a local döner shop. Or perhaps invite just one other mate. Or some people stop by. The risk is that there are potential breaches that could occur IF they're unable to maintain their control and the integrity of the NRL covid bubble. And, as I said before, they seem unable to even control themselves in not participating in a forbidden BBQ. But yes, the measures are rather draconian, but they are also agreeing to those measures by playing the sport in the professional sense. There are measures that they could employ, should they disagree with those measures, but as it stands, they've agreed to them. The pitfalls of private enterprise, fame and contractual obligations. I suppose in terms of a different business this wouldn't be so much the case, because people probably wouldn't agree to it, so that it wouldn't impinge so heavily on their personal rights. By that I mean you gotta fight for your right to party. [/QUOTE]
