The match, which is held in memory of former St Pat's and Forbes footballer Brendon 'Stubby' Collits who passed away in 2013, was meant to be held at Spooner Oval on March 28, but it may be called-off due to the threat of coronavirus.

St Pat's president Graeme Ward said all training has been cancelled, as well as the club's season launch this weekend.

"Training is cancelled at this stage until we get some more direction from the NSWRL," he said.

"I'm not too sure about [the 'Stubby' Collits Memorial]. We'll just wait and see what happens. We'll have a committee meeting next week.

"We'll be guided by what the health authorities say and the NSWRL too."

The last two memorial matches have dramatically finished in draws, with a 32-all draw at the Jack Arrow Sporting Complex in 2019 and a 36-all draw at Spooner Oval in 2018.

The Bathurst Panthers executive committee met on Tuesday night to discuss the recent events that have affected rugby league.

The current focus for the NSWRL, and most sporting bodies the world over, is on minimising the risk of infection in the community.

More advice from the federal and state health departments, as well the NRL, will be taken on board in the coming hours and days.

The Group 10 season is currently scheduled to start on April 10, which is Good Friday.

The rest of Group 10 clubs that had trials are now in serious doubt.

In an email sent from NSWRL to clubs in the Western Rams region, it was also stated a number of upcoming pre-season tournaments have been cancelled, including the Eglinton mini/mod carnival on March 28 and the Orange Junior Carnival on March 29.

At a higher level, NRL CEO Todd Greenberg has pleaded for fans to be patient about tickets and memberships in the wake of all matches being forced behind closed doors from round two onwards.

"At this stage our competition will continue as planned for round two but with all our stadiums closed, however if the advice changes we'll change with it," he said on Monday.
