The NRL has introduced a universal ban on each of their 480 players within the competition from entering any kind of indoor venue amid rising Covid cases across the country.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported the new preventive measures will include businesses such as pubs, clubs and cinemas and visitors attempting to enter the home of any NRL player will need to provide a negative Rapid Antigen Test.
The NRL are desperate to stop the spread of Covid-19 throughout their playing ranks, with partners and children of any player that currently live in a different location also required to provide a negative test before entering their home.
NRL players will no longer be allowed to order a counter lunch, visit nightclubs or go to the movies.
However players will still be able to visit cafes and restaurants provided they are seated outside and use table service.
For the few NRL players that remain unvaccinated against the virus, stricter protocols including no visitors, no trips to other homes and an inability to train indoors or with a partner have also been implemented.
Unvaccinated players will also be made to train, eat and bathe away from teammates once their pre-season training programs resume on Thursday.
Under previously released protocols, each of the NRL players set to take part in the 2022 season will be asked to provide clear results from daily RATs when they return to their clubs for the next phase of pre-season.
The NRL and ARLC are still yet to confirm their road map for how they plan to steer the competition through the inevitable event of players contracting Covid during the season.
A formal response to Raiders coach Ricky Stuart’s demands to expand playing rosters in an effort to provide sufficient depth to combat the Covid crisis is yet to be rel
