COVID-19 Update: lockdown extension forces round 16 postponement

By Michael Hillier (QRL Media)

Representatives from the Queensland Rugby League and statewide competition clubs today discussed the impact of the State Government’s decision to extend lockdown in south east Queensland until Sunday, August 8.

It was determined this weekend’s Intrust Super Cup (Round 16) and Hastings Deering Colts fixtures will be postponed.

While the QRL will “explore all options” to ensure as many games are played as possible, the league is waiting on further information before making a final determination on whether the fixtures originally set down for this weekend will be rescheduled.

This outcome follows the decision to cancel all of last weekend’s Intrust Super Cup and Hastings Deering fixtures due to the COVID-19 outbreak in Queensland.

These fixtures (from the weekend of July 31-August 1) will not be rescheduled.
