NRL announces revised draw for Rounds 23, 24, 25
The NRL has announced a revised draw for the final three rounds of the regular season with games set to be staged in Queensland regional centres.
The league will take games to Rockhampton, Mackay, Toowoomba and Redcliffe, with several "mini magic" double headers to be played across the three weeks leading into the finals.
Rockhampton will host a game in both Round 23 and 24, Mackay will host a game in both Round 24 and 25 while Toowoomba will host a game in Round 23.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo says they are trying to make the best out of a bad situation.
"The pandemic is creating many challenges, but it is also creating opportunities. We're really excited to be taking games to Rockhampton, Mackay and Toowoomba in the final three weeks of the regular season," he said.
"Rugby League heartlands are right throughout regional Queensland. We have some of our most passionate supporters in these regions and we wanted to ensure we rewarded those fans with as many opportunities as possible to watch their heroes live."
