Players had been able to train on Thursday as normal, and will play on Friday night without issue.
It comes as Sydney NRL players return to the bubble on Friday, with level-three restrictions back in force.
It means players will only be able to leave the house to train, play, exercise or essentials.
Eating out is now prohibited as well as visiting other households, although concessions will be made for Mother's Day.
