Queensland teams cut from comp for the rest of the year

[ricardo]

I have read that due to the Palaczuk government closing the borders, V'Landis is strongly considering just cutting the Qld teams out of the comp for the rest of the year?!! I guess they won't really be missed and can pretty much be considered a bye Any way...

NRL Considering Telling The QLD Teams To Sit The Rest Of This One Out After Fresh Border Closure

"It's our last resort, but if we just tell the boys to enjoy the rest of 2020 without any footy, we'll have to find a way to skew the remaining draw so those teams who were going to play the Queenslanders get compensated with points and a healthy for and against."

ARL Commission chairman Peter V’landys says the NRL competition is not in jeopardy despite the Queensland government’s move to close borders to Greater Sydney residents from 1am on Saturday.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the decision to close the borders to Sydney is necessary to protect all Queenslanders following COVID infection spikes in Victoria and New South Wales.

But V’landys dismissed concerns for the NRL premiership and the potential relocation of Queensland-based teams the Broncos, Titans, Cowboys and Melbourne, saying the beefed-up border controls will not affect NRL players.
V’landys said NRL players will be allowed to continue to travel between Queensland and NSW on private charter flights due to special exemptions granted by premier Palaszczuk.
