The NRL is considering taking games behind closed doors and locking out crowds in response to the growing coronavirus pandemic in Australia.

The governing body has set up a coronavirus sub-committee that is exploring all options and ramifications for the NRL and clubs if games are to be played in empty stadiums, or if the season is to be postponed.

The NRL will hold a meeting in Sydney on Friday and will take advice from federal and state governments, which could have ramifications on North Queensland’s opening match at their new stadium.
