The NRL Telstra Premiership will recommence as a 20-round competition on May 28 with the grand final to be played on October 25.

Australian Rugby League Commission Chair Peter V’landys confirmed the details late on Tuesday afternoon after extensive consultation with broadcast partners, clubs, and key stakeholders.

The first two rounds of the competition will be counted and the current competition ladder remains in place when games resume.

The competition draw will be determined in the coming weeks, including timing of State of Origin.

The NRL’s working group, Project Apollo, will meet on Wednesday to continue preparations to resume the season.

 

[Dragonslayer]

So 18 more weeks of Mc85?

I hope not!!!!

 

[Gomarchin]

Great - I hope the draw is unchanged for the next 5 rounds and we resume the year with Raiders, Parra, Warriors, Souths and Roosters.

That should see McWrekor out the door....

 

[Crush]

Why do they announce tiny bits of the plan at a time?

Thanks George, ( below isn't aimed at you bro ).

So in essence, we know SFA ? Games played are counted... " but we will get back to you "

What a plastic statement to make.

I can hear Mary now.
I coached this side deep into Sept footy. That's something we haven't done for a while.

I rather coach something deep into Mcflops....

 

[BLM01]

Why do they announce tiny bits of the plan at a time?

As the govt are doing..releasing restrictions only a tiny bit at a time when they know they can relax more anyway

Lol
I wouldn’t put it past him.

 

[Gareth67]

Now come on chaps , enough of this negativity. This has been going on for far too long , may I suggest that we forget about our disadvantages and look at the Dragons adv . . . ?

Forget it .

State of Origin series to be played after GF

If he can just scrape into 8th they'll be playing on the Grand Final weekend!

 

[Willow]

Given regular second half fades and mid season capitulations, surely this fits in well with the coach's master plan.

Fulltime to be called earlier.
Football field to be reduced by 5 metres.
And now... season to be shorter.

One out of three ain't bad.

 

[Dragsters]

State of Origin series to be played after GF

I hope this is a success and is retained for the future...

He must be disappointed they've taken away the Origin excuse, on the plus side, the pandemic has created more excuses and given time to think of more

 

[Crush]

As the govt are doing releasing restrictions when they now they can

I've heard they are still a long way from getting May 28th across the line, especially with the players union.

Just watching the Nine News on telly , the P.M. has said the same , as much as he himself would like to see the game re-start on the 28th May they , the Government shall decide the appropriate time .

Crush we will see. Certain parts of the media like to run with kicking it all back down and prompt answers from people like the PM or a health official nor anyone else that wants a say who they know will not commit to positive answers to toe the lets be cautious line and not hang themselves out on a bit of limb (for the moment). The creases will be ironed out. She'll start. Stories..stories..stories. Covid is in sights of control in this country when you consider a population of 26mill.
