The NRL is prepared to relocate the entire competition to Queensland as coronavirus restrictions threaten to derail the 2020 season for a second time.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports NRL powerbrokers have discussed contingency plans over the past 48 hours, which include moving all 16 teams to Queensland in the coming weeks.
The return to the bubble plan that has been floated in the past comes as Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk declared Liverpool and Campbelltown in Sydney’s south-west as COVID-19 hot spots.
ARL Commission Chairman Peter V’landys has admitted the game already had a relocation plan it could enact.
The NRL will have 10 rounds to play in the regular season, plus four weeks of finals, after Round 10 concludes on Sunday.
