2020 NRL season results

Main article: 2020 NRL season

The 2020 NRL season was the 113th of professional rugby league in Australia and the 23rd season run by the National Rugby League.

As of 3 May 2020, the season was shortened from 25 rounds to 20, and the finals series and State of Origin pushed back, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The first two rounds were played before the season was suspended on 23 March, and premiership points earned from the earlier rounds are still counted. The season resumed on 28 May.[1] After playing the first two rounds with 2 referees, the decision was made to play the remaining rounds with one referee. To accommodate this, a number of other rules changes were introduced.[2]

Regular season

All times are in AEDT (UTC+11:00) up until the 5th of April and AEST (UTC+10:00) from then on.

  • In the lead-up to Round 20, the Australian Rugby League Commission approved a number of experimental rule changes to be trialled in two matches during the final round of the regular season. The Commission approved the following experimental rules to be trialled in the Brisbane Broncos v North Queensland Cowboys game on Thursday night and the New Zealand Warriors v Manly Sea Eagles game on Sunday afternoon. Neither match will have an impact on the Top 8. The experimental rule changes are:
    • Use of the “Six Again” rule for 10 metre infringements.
    • Handover for kicks into touch rather than a scrum.
    • Nominated Forwards only in the scrum.
    • Change in Bunker referral process to reduce stoppages.
  • The Brisbane Broncos claimed their first wooden spoon after losing to the North Queensland Cowboys 32–16. It was their eleventh consecutive defeat to finish the season.
  • South Sydney scored 60 points in a game for the first time since 1937 and recorded their biggest ever win over the Sydney Roosters in the process.
