Broncos, Cowboys and Titans allowed to remain in Queensland ahead of NRL return
Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has allowed rugby league to play and train in the state.
The decision means Queensland’s three NRL teams – Brisbane, North Queensland and Gold Coast will not be forced to relocate to New South Wales for the resumption of the NRL competition.
ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys said: “This is a critical decision for rugby league and a win for the players, clubs, fans and the wider community.
“I can’t express enough our appreciation to the Queensland government.
“I have great respect for the Premier and it is a tribute to her strong leadership that she has kept an open mind through this process.
“The Queensland government has done a great job containing the virus and we won’t let them down.”
NRL players will undergo an educational training session on Monday to understand the biosecurity protocols and restrictions.
