The extension of the regional lockdown has enhanced the need to push back the season.

Group Nine has suggested October 17 would be the last date for a grand final to be held.

Chairman Andrew Hinchcliffe is waiting on the responses from clubs before looking to mould together a new road map.

"We've asked clubs to complete a poll to try to establish everyone's perspective on when the last day of the competition will be," Hinchcliffe said.

"That perspective could have changed with the two-week extension of the lockdown.

"We'll get that information back, have a good look at it and then come back to a club's meeting on Monday where we will again put some proposals to everyone, see how everyone feels, take everyone's thoughts and hopefully lock in the best plan we can."

Group Nine sent out their survey to clubs on Thursday with the NSW government extending the current regional lockdown until September 10.

That falls in line with stage three of Group Nine original proposal, which would see two weeks of training before the start of a top-five finals format on September 25 culminating with the grand final on October 17.

"At this stage we are looking at how far we extend and what that looks like for players, volunteers and club supporters and at what stage it is too far," he said.

"We will work backwards once we get all the club's views to make an informed decision."

Hinchcliffe is also mindful of the impact decisions have across all grades.

However he believes listening to feedback is crucial in their decision-making process.

"I'm glad we waited as it might have been premature to make a call on Monday night when we had the club's meeting," Hinchcliffe said.

"Giving everyone a couple of days and an understanding of what the next two weeks looks like will help clubs make an informed decision.

"I'm glad we waited to make that call.

"At the end of the day rugby league is about the people and making sure we take that into consideration when we make these types of decisions is really important.

The season was originally set to conclude on September 19.

Southcity have thrown their support behind October 17 as the final end date for the Group Nine season, but admitted the longer the lockdown lasts the harder it will be to get back.

Group Nine has asked clubs for feedback on the finals structure and the Bulls are certainly keen to get a result.

"There are plans in place which has the finish of the 17th of October and we've put our heads together, spoken to the playing group and they are all happy to go to that date but probably don't want to go any further than that," football manager Matt Ward said.

"It just becomes too long without being able to train.

"The longer it goes two weeks is a very short time to prepare for a semi-final if you haven't done anything for a month."

The Bulls have been trying to keep each other motivated by posting what they have been doing to try and keep fit.

Group Nine will use the response from cubs to formulate a new plan.

Chairman Andrew Hinchcliffe admitted the feedback could change their initial plans, which were to retain the top five of a traditional finals format if the lockdown finishes on September 10.

Stage three of their plan would see two weeks of training before the finals start on September 25.

The grand final would be played on October 17.

There are options to decrease the length of the finals from there finishing with a one-out grand final between the two top teams, Tumut and Southcity, if restrictions don't ease until October.

However Tumut president Bryan Black believes the longer the season goes the more obstacles in the way for the Blues.

Especially with a number of work commitments.

"I think it is going to be difficult to get going again," Black said. "It's not just first graders but reserve graders and under 18s.

"There are a fair few blokes tied up with companies working at Visy come the second week of October.

"We were hoping to have it done and dusted by then as work takes precedence over football."
