After months of uncertainty, a draw for the Western Premiership - the Peter McDonald Premiership - is expected to be unveiled.

It will ease concerns of numerous clubs in Group 10 and Group 11 who have been calling for more details and confirmation of competition structure in recent times.

Fixtures were expected soon after the Western Premiership was announced by NSWRL in July, but delays have led to some clubs in both competitions getting itchy feet.

While the majority of clubs across the two competitions are in favour of the new structure, concerns were raised at a Group 11 meeting last weekend.

At that meeting, Nyngan, Narromine, and Wellington all raised opposition to the Western Premiership plan.

In the week leading up to the meeting the presidents at both Nyngan and Narromine stated the majority of people within their clubs didn't want to take part in the new competition.

Following Sunday's meeting, which reportedly was "heated at times", Group 11 president Bob Walsh said "I can't make any comment on what's going on because I don't know".

It hasn't only been in Group 11 the questions have been raised, with presidents at both Orange Hawks and Bathurst Panthers speaking on the topic in the past week.

Andrew Blimka said he was for the proposal, but was unclear on what that was. He said change would be a real jolt for footy in western NSW.

"We are sort of still wondering how everything is going to work," Panthers president Dave Hotham added.

"It's hard to get excited about it at the moment because there is so much uncertainty with it."

With that uncertainty growing, Walsh spoke to NSWRL Community Rugby League Manager Peter Clarke and NSWRL chief executive David Trodden this week.

Walsh confirmed the draw is expected next week and he's hopeful the step forward for the competition will appease a number of clubs and help them plan for the 2022 season.

Walsh also confirmed the players points cap announced by NSWRL last month will be used next season.

The Player Points Index System gives players a numerical value and each first grade team is only able to field a side worth 100 points.

A number of Group 10 clubs had expressed concerns that Group 11 clubs would play in the new competition without the cap in place.
