Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3118976, member: 1769"] Meninga now saying the points won in the opening two rounds should be scrapped, even going as far as saying that if they Titans were 2-0 he still wouldn't mind the idea ... claims keeping the points could stop the NRL re-starting... his quotes are below: --------- “I can understand some teams would feel disadvantaged by scrapping points but at the end of the day it’s about getting the game back up and running. “I don’t think it matters so much. Who cares if we lose a couple of points? As long as we are playing football again. “This whole coronavirus situation has showed us there are bigger things in life. It doesn’t matter what rules you come up with, it would be just for this year. “We all need to take a deep breath and do what is best for the game. Let’s not be negative about proposals. Let’s look at the positives to get the game started up again. “I will support whatever is best for the game, but if we have to start again with everyone on zero points, then that’s what we have to do.” “You look at our situation,” Meninga said of his Titans outfit. “We have played against Canberra and the Eels so far, so one of those teams (the Raiders) would be in our conference and one team (the Eels) wouldn’t. “It would be difficult to carry over points under a conference model. “The Broncos won both their games and they would have every right to express their concerns to the ARL Commission or the innovation committee. “Knowing Justin Holbrook (Titans coach) and our team, we would start from any position. “If we had won our first two or lost or first two games and had to start again, so be it. “There is a bigger issue for me than competition points. Whatever we do we have to be one in, all in.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.couriermail.com.au/sport/nrl/teams/titans/mal-meninga-backs-calls-to-reset-nrl-ladder-when-the-league-resumes/news-story/d36a1bf5b4fed2b045b0cefb50b06a47[/URL] [/QUOTE]
