Raiders coach Ricky Stuart says they might host the Warriors at an empty stadium in Canberra next week rather than play at Eden Park in the Codes of Auckland double header.

The Raiders are supposed to be playing the Warriors next Saturday, followed by the Blues taking on the Brumbies in an Auckland v Canberra double header.

However, this was all thrown into doubt on Friday night when NRL CEO Todd Greenberg announced that from round two, all games must be played behind closed doors because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Australian prime minister Scott Morrison has banned public gatherings of more than 500 people and also advised Australians not to travel overseas unless it is essential.
