Friday night’s game between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and North Queensland Cowboys has been relocated from Stadium Australia to McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle to comply with Queensland Public Health Orders.

Kick-off for the game will remain at 7.55pm.

The Rabbitohs will be permitted to have a crowd capped at 50 per cent of capacity at the venue.

The NRL thanks the Rabbitohs for their assistance in relocating the game, ensuring the continuity of the competition. The Cowboys will fly in and fly out of Newcastle on game day.
