BREAKING ❗ 'We clarified that May 28 is a definite and also confirmed that May 4 is the resumption date for training' Wayne Pearce 👏
ARL Commissioner Wayne Pearce has confirmed the NRL has the green light from government to restart on May 28 with teams set to begin training on May 4 to prepare for the return to play.
The ARL Commission met on Tuesday before the Project Apollo innovations committee reconvened on Wednesday to discuss plans for the proposed restart of the Telstra Premiership. "We hope that we'll be in a position, sooner rather than later, to announce what the competition structure looks like and what the end date of the competition will be."
"It's great the broader infection rates have come right down, the government and public have done a great job," he said.
