Peter V'landys: 'Why wouldn't we restart? That's the bottom line' 👇
When he and NRL CEO Todd Greenberg announced the competition was to be suspended last month, V'landys said the implications for a lost season due to the coronavirus pandemic would be devastating for the sport.
Games will still be played behind closed doors for the foreseeable future until government bans are restricted while guidelines on travel to and from training and match-day venues also need to be formulated. "There's a lot of work to be done between now and that date, however we are very confident we will get there."
