Group 10 was officially put to bed for season 2020 on Tuesday night, the board unanimously voting to can senior grades after being left frustrated by a lack of communication from the state government.

Somewhat ironically, that communication trickled down from the upper levels of government on Wednesday morning, leaving the door open for all-age community sports to be played from July 1 onwards.

Group 10 won't backflip on its stance to abort season 2020, though, and Heta admitted there's a level of frustration there given under 18s competitions and other junior sports will be played.

But he's hoping Hawks' premier league squad will still be able to play some rugby league this year.

The only question now remains what, and where?

"We'll see if there's anything come up for the boys to take on. We'll sit and wait to see if something comes up," Heta said.

"There were rumours of joining with Group 11 because they've had some clubs pull out and that's no further away than a Mudgee trip.

"Any footy at all to be played, the boys would be happy to hear about."

Heta's Hawks recruited well following the disappointment of winning the club's first minor premiership in six years, only then to bow out in straight finals losses in 2019.

Steven Widders, Marcel Ikinofo, Tom Romer and Wayne Parker were the big names to ink deals with the Hawks.

Heta said a meeting has been scheduled to let the player group know all hope for this season hasn't been lost, while the chance to secure the roster ahead of 2021 is also a priority.

"We were building, and plugged the holes I felt we needed to and it was shaping up as a good season," Heta said.

"We've set a date to have a meeting and hopefully we can give them some exciting news to ensure they stick around for the remainder of this year but we'll see what intentions are.

"We'll hold on to what we can. We're keen to keep what we do have."

In the meantime, Heta says his Sundays will involve a mixture of tennis, golf and helping the Hawks' juniors through their endeavours for what's left of this season.

"I'll definitely go down and help out juniors and the 18s too given they're going ahead, and that's a positive too."

Heta wasn't the only first-grade skipper who was disheartened by Group 10's decision as CYMS' leader Daniel Mortimer was admittedly upset by the outcome, especially given his side's promising display the Bathurst knockout.

"We had a lot of momentum," he said. "I really thought we were building a nice culture and the boys have gotten a taste of that so hopefully they want more next year... I know I will."
