BREAKING: NRL on alert as COVID outbreak has Brisbane Grand Final in doubt

The decider between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and Penrith Panthers is meant to be played at Suncorp Stadium, however the governing body is in talks over the implications of the outbreak.

Channel 9’s Jess Millward reported on Tuesday that the NRL and Queensland Government were having “crisis talks” with ARL Commission boss Peter V’landys with Townsville being pencilled in as the potential new location for the grand final.

It comes after at least two locally acquired cases were recorded in Brisbane.

“We are talking to the government,” V’landys told the Courier Mail.
