Whether anything changes re: NRL will depend upon how much pay 9 can get out of Covid causing NRL to breach the contract. Personally I don't think any court in the land would uphold a claim for damages from 9 due to NRL not being permitted to play the requisite number of games as contracted.
If they don't have the threat of suing for breach of contract, then NRL will just tell them to get stuffed wouldn't they?
