Ms Palaszczuk softened her stance on the NRL's attempt to restart the competition during the coronavirus pandemic, and appeared less doubtful about the prospect of State of Origin in 2020.

It comes ahead of a landmark week of meetings with broadcasters, the Australian Rugby League Commission and the NRL's innovation committee to finalise a pitch to state governments on Wednesday.

Ms Palaszczuk said she was prepared to hold discussions with the NRL over its plans to move players safely between states to allow the season to restart on May 28.

"There's no update, of course we're open to any plan," she said.

"There has been no plan submitted, there has been no phone calls."

Ms Palaszczuk said she had spoken to Queensland Rugby League chairman Bruce Hatcher about whether State of Origin could be played in 2020.

She said she preferred a proposal to play the three-match series at the end of the year.

The NRL has already confirmed State of Origin will be played in the traditional three-match format this year but a plan around the showpiece event is yet to be finalised.

"As I've said from day one, towards the end of the year we will be open to that if the health advice says we're in a situation to do so," Ms Palaszczuk said.

New South Wales Deputy Premier John Barilaro gave further hope to the NRL's plan to restart the season next month.

Mr Barilaro said his Government was considering allowing non-New South Wales-based teams to be housed in regional sports centres across the state, but a decision would be subject to advice from health experts.

"First and foremost, the NRL is putting a proposal forward to Government to consider, and the health experts will assess that," he said.

"I've always said from the outset, it's about the protocols and measures that will be put in place to protect one, the players and two, the community.

"But you are already allowed to travel to the regions for work. So if you look at the sport of NRL it is an industry, it's a job for those players, it is work related.

"We've never said anything more than that."

Mr Barilaro said he was "helping and working with the NRL to find solutions".
