They are questions the kids are actually interested in themselves. You know because they are invested in the sport.

What about the kids from the mid north coast, NI etc, that have just had their season ripped now from underneath them as a knee jerk reaction to something that hasn't even been an issue for them?

Don't get me wrong I was all on the better shut down path to be safe when it was affecting the whole population. But now an adult can go around 50 pubs on a weekend, get plastered, spread covid across half the state on a pub crawl, and the kids can't play sport or have a school graduation (mind you with kids in their own year who they attend school with every day!). If you aren't frustrated, then I don't think you are looking hard enough at the decisions that are being made lately.

I also seen a post from Football NSW that it looks like they can still play NPL as per normal this weekend?
I feel for the kids from up the coast who are in effect being punished due to virus numbers in a city several hours south of them.

Transmission through sport has been non-existent, even the Jets youth player who contracted the virus wasn't actually contracted on the field, it was through off-field activities - Which are still not restricted.
