Following a year of zero Group 10 premier league action due to COVID-19 restrictions and players spending a season in different sports, there's plenty of uncertainty around rugby league in general at the present time.

Committee members will see this Sunday as hopefully being the start of its comeback, but just what form that comeback takes remains to be seen.

Group 10 president Linore Zamparini said everyone will be virtually going in blind to this year's annual general meeting, waiting to fully digest NSWRL's proposals - such as a possible Group 10 and 11 merged competition - before coming up with an agenda.

"[Western Regional Area Manager] Peter Clarke will address us at 10am on Sunday, and NSW Rugby League want to change some structures but at the moment we don't know what they are. They're keeping their cards pretty close to their chest at the moment," he said.

"They want to consolidate a lot of the Groups. When you think about what could and couldn't be, there's certainly going to be a lot of work involved. I don't see how you can put something like that in place overnight, particularly with the year we've just had.

"A lot of clubs don't even have players for next year because they don't even know what they're doing. Normally they'd be with them right up until the end but this year's been different. Now they have to go around chasing those guys and hope that they come back to the fold.

"The players who were here before love the game, that's why they do it, but we need to get them involved again. They certainly miss their rugby league and not all of them got to play in the Mid West Cup."

The one thing Zamparini is sure about is that clubs will be given plenty of time and opportunity to voice their thoughts on whatever those structures may be.

In a statement last month NSWRL said that "the board will not impose structures on the local rugby league community that they themselves don't support."

"We're steering the ship and clubs run and own it, we just do the best we can for those clubs. A lot of people get defensive when there's talk of change but we need to take a look at the whole thing and take it in," Zamparini said.

"The other thing is that most clubs have only within the last week changed their committees, which makes it a difficult time for everyone with the old coming out and the new coming in.

"Having no rugby league in 2020 is what has made things so hard on all the committees."

Group 11 will also be holding their annual general meeting this Sunday, where they too will be addressed by Clarke about the proposed structures for the future of western rugby league.

Last month Group 11 president Bob Walsh stated that his personal feeling was that nothing would change ahead of the 2021 season.
