Australian Rugby League Commissioner Wayne Pearce confirmed that the NRL will resume its 2020 season on 28 May.
Training will begin on 4 May, a week prior to the four-week deadline set by the national cabinet as the date at which social distancing rules will be reviewed.
Mr Pearce told the media that “a lot more clarity around the medical process and what those protocols are” was achieved today.
Mr Pearce said that it is still not clear how getting back on the field would work regarding non-NSW teams which “would have to come into camp in NSW”.
“We are working with the government authorities to get them over here and get them [the Warriors] through a quarantine period and have them ready with the other teams for the start of the competition,” Mr Pearce said.
“The government authorities that we are speaking to are very supportive of what we’re looking to do because we are actually looking to hold ourselves to very high standards, and that will certainly exceed what community expectations are.”
