NRL news | Dragons house party investigated, Paul Vaughan's home, despite Sydney lockdown, NRL COVID-19 bubble rules (nine.com.au)
The NRL is yet to determine a penalty for the players involved and the club itself, but Abdo admitted that everything was on the table.
"I'm not going to rule anything out (in regards to deducting points as a penalty)," Abdo told Nine News Sydney. "We'll treat every case on its merits."
"I'm just gutted, I'm gutted because I see how hard people have been working to keep the competition going."
Abdo admitted that the party threatened to bring the NRL to a halt, jeopardising the government exemptions the league has received from a number of states.

"Yes, of course anything that goes against our protocols puts everything at risk," he said.
"It's an ongoing investigation, we are aware there were a number of players. At this particularly point in time, our information is that there weren't people outside of the bubble there, which is a positive.
The Dragons acknowledged the incident on Sunday, describing it as a "breach" of both NSW Government and NRL rules.
"St George Illawarra are aware of a New South Wales state government stay-at-home order and NRL biosecurity breach involving a number of players," a club statement said.
"The Dragons will not make comment at this time, while the investigation into the matter with the NRL Integrity Unit and NSW Police continues."
