Despite 11 Queensland LGAs being plunged into lockdown, the NRL will finish round 20 of the compeition in Brisbane

But these games will now be played on Sunday, while the final two games of the round will be held on Monday night.

Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V'landys said the competition will continue after the league was able to reach an agreement with the state government. The schedule change comes just days after Queensland's Chief Health Officer, Jeannette Young, said she was concerned with the number of COVID-bubble breaches by players following the relocation of the competition to the sunshine state.

I’m no fan of the football but if you’d listened the the CHO this morning you’d feel better about these games going ahead. They’ve been in a strict bubble & she’s upped the anti to make rules stricter for them. Plus no spectators. If you’re going to comment get your facts right.

Of course they bloody will, no surprises there. I’m very surprised however that afl didn’t do the same

With no spectators, please YvetteDAth AnnastaciaMP You seriously risk us all if you let these go ahead with spectators. Look at Indro State School/Ironside/St Peters/BGS/BGGS communities - 1000’s on edge and in iso due to minimal cases. Do the right thing

Hahahahahahaha what a fucking joke. 🤬

Need to lock whole state down ASAP delta is extremely infectious

I am all for sport going on but this is no good, just shows again different rules. not sure if it’s for money or politics but it’s not a good look when others a locked away

I love nrl but this is just wrong AnnastaciaMP

Obviously lockdown isn't that important to the QLD government.....
