Woodbridge Cup looks at July 19 start date for 2020 season in Western Rams region

And he's got the backing of all 10 clubs to make it happen.

The Woodbridge Cup is planning on a July 19 round one start, with the potential for one full round of games before a shortened, three-week finals series with a new-look top six format.

The planning follows the announcement from New South Wales Rugby League chief executive Dave Trodden of a July 18 start date for grass roots rugby league, with Pull admitting he's fielded a host of phone calls from every club and has battled to answer a lot of the questions.

But, like the NSWRL boss Trodden, Pull says the Woodbridge Cup will know more when another review of the coronavirus situation is conduced on June 1, which will be subject to the existing Government advice available at the time.

He says in the meantime, planning a competition during a time when some Groups across the state have cancelled their seasons is about giving people in small towns hope of a return to some normality.

The Woodbridge Cup incorporates clubs out of Cargo, Manildra, Molong, Peak Hill, Canowindra, Burrengong, Grenfell, Eugowra, Trundle and Condobolin and Pull said all clubs were behind the planning of a competition in 2020.

He said if things need to change, then the Woodbridge Cup's committee is determined to remain fluid enough to ensure a title race in some form is able to be played this season.

How flexible?

Well, Pull says, if five clubs indicate they want to play, and five others say they'll sit out, he'd be open to running a premiership with reduced teams in 2020.

"Everyone has been really positive," Pull added.

"It's been tough, especially in small towns, and football is where you make contact with people. A lot of people spend all week on a farm and then go to town to watch the footy on the weekend.

"We won't know more until the Government speaks again in June, but we've put it to clubs to start round one on July 19."

He said it was a date worth aiming for but said, as is the concern for all senior competitions across the state, a kick-off date would hinge on whether or not crowds can attend home games.

"It's not viable to play without clubs getting a gate. It costs the same amount for jumpers and insurance whether clubs can host eight home games or two," he said.

"We'll leave the call up to the clubs though. If clubs don't want to play we'll leave it up to them.

"I don't think we can have a decision from clubs until June, but we'll run a competition."

Group 10's board and clubs are expected to meet on Wednesday night via phone hook-up to determine the future of their season.
