Instead Saturday seeing both the men's side and the league tag outfit playing for premiership glory at Diggings Oval, they are waiting for confirmation on when - or if - the grand finals will go ahead.

Since both CSU teams booked a direct passage to grand final day with major semi-final wins on July 10, the Mid West competition has been halted firstly due to bad weather and now because of current NSW Health stay-at-home rules.

At this stage the preliminary finals involving the Portland, Orange United and Oberon clubs have been slated for July 31 and the grand final August 7.

But whether or not those games proceed depends on the status of lockdown.

CSU president Callum Flanagan, who also captain-coaches the Mungoes, said the situation has impacted the mood at the club.

"At the moment it's a minimum one week suspension of the comp, I'm not sure if it's going to be any more than that, the seventh of August will be the grand final at the earliest and it could be going later," he said.

"I think it has taken away from it a bit when you push it back. You get hyped that you're playing this weekend in a grand final, but then it's like no you're not.

"Then it's like you're playing next weekend, hang on no you're not, so the constant rescheduling does take away from it a bit.

"We were amazingly keen for it, it guess depends now."

If the August 7 grand final does proceed, it will have been four weeks between games for the two CSU teams.

That is far from ideal, but Flanagan said his club will be ready to play if given the green light.

Though some players are currently in lockdown, the president says the remainder are "still training with the intent of the grand final going ahead."

"We were really in a good place heading into the grand final so to have it postponed is disheartening, but any time they want to play it, we're more than happy to," he said.

"All the boys, the girls, everyone at the club, all the committee members, obviously our priority would be to play. We're heaps eager, heaps keen to play.

"At the end of the day, it's still a home grand final for us, no matter when it's played - that's if it gets played - we'll be ready to go."

While CSU continues to prepare, Flanagan knows there still remains the possibility that the remaining Mid West games may no go ahead if the shutdown extends.

It is something he does not want to see, especially as CSU won dual premierships the last time Diggings Oval hosted grand final day. But he knows there are more important considerations.

"At the end of the day it's just footy, there is a pandemic and at the end of the day we need to prioritise doing everything we can to stop the spread," he said.

"We're willing to support the comp in whatever decision they have. If it comes to it and footy has to be called off for the betterment of public health, then we support that decision as well."
