The Queensland government has warned the 480 NRL players and staff who recently departed from Sydney of immediate deportation, if they fail to comply with bubble conditions over the next 14 days.
Following the Dragons house party and Jai Arrow’s Origin hotel room scandals, the NRL can’t afford another black eye as 12 clubs landed on the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast for day one of operation relocation.
It grows increasingly likely that the Queensland bubble will be extended beyond a month, with momentum gathering for Brisbane to host the grand final for the first time on October third.
