Australia Rugby League Commission boss Peter V’landys says the NRL will decide in the next 24 hours whether to move the first State of Origin to avoid a potentially crowdless fixture.
Canberra, Adelaide and Perth have all put their hands up to host in the event the match needs to be relocated as Victorian public health and emergency officials continue to debate whether greater COVID-19 restrictions need to be implemented.
Victoria recorded six new cases on Wednesday to bring the cluster in Melbourne’s north to 15 with fears the state could be put into lockdown if the situation worsens.
The MCG was added to the list of affected venues on Tuesday after a positive case was found to have attended the Collingwood-Port Adelaide game at the venue on Sunday.
