The Queensland premier has cleared the path for the NRL season to resume, as the COVID-19 curve flattens in Queensland with no new cases Friday and five more recoveries. 

The Premier said the NRL season could resume on May 28th, dependent on Chief Health Officer advice the league's plan is workable, and the NRL's assurance that players won't break restrictions. "It must not put at risk our excellent work containing the spread of COVID-19," the Premier said.
