COVID-19 Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic NRL matches were halted after the second round. The Sea Eagles were originally meant to play the New Zealand Warriors and Canberra Raiders in Rounds Three and Four, but the NRL made an announcement of the updated draw for those rounds on Friday 15th of May that they'll be playing The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and The Parramatta Eels on those rounds instead.[2]
Until at least Round Nine the Sea Eagles will play at Central Coast Stadium in Gosford. [3]
