Nothing is yet set in stone but the current proposal would see clubs play each other once before taking part in a regular five-team finals series.

The board have stated that they would aim to resume training from July 1 and give teams two and a half weeks of preparation time before starting games from the weekend of July 18.

Of course all decisions are dependent upon any updates to the NSW government's health order.

Group 10 director Peter McDonald said the board will be consulting with all clubs in a meeting this Monday evening to discuss the proposal.

"We're putting to the clubs that we'll be back training on the 1^st of July and that the competition will start from the 18^th of July. We're hoping that, in this time from now until then, the government can relax the social gathering restrictions and ease the number of people allowed into a game," he said.

"We're holding another meeting with representatives from the Group 10 clubs on Monday evening online to put the idea on the table to them. Hopefully we can get some positivity from them, or make sure everyone's on board with the same idea, and we'll be able to go from there."

A one round competition means the finals series would start on the weekend of September 5 and 6.

However, the board are yet to draft up a draw and will wait for the input from clubs in Monday's upcoming online meeting.

There were concerns some clubs may not be able to field a team but McDonald said a shortened season might allow all eight premier league teams to play.

"Cowra had indicated that they'd be struggling to field a team but the latest is that they might be up and going because of the shortness of the competition," he said.

If crowd restrictions are lifted in any capacity before the season starts McDonald is confident people would flock in big numbers to support their local clubs.

"People are just crying out for football. We're very strong here in the Group 10 and everyone wants to be out there playing

"Crowds are hungry for some footy as well, and with no NRL on at the moment we're really stuck for footy."

The only other option which has been touted for 2020 is combining the Group 10 and 11 competitions to form a Western conference competition.
