With the number of cases in NSW increasing following a mass outbreak in Victoria, the ARLC re-implemented strict biosecurity protocols for all teams based outside Queensland on Tuesday.

It comes after a cluster of 28 cases of the virus were linked back to the Crossroads Hotel in Casula, with Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk declaring anyone who resides Sydney's Campbelltown or Liverpool LGA's will not be allowed north of the border.

ARLC chairman Peter V'landys said the game won't be taking any chances, with the return to initial measures restricting the number of home visitors and barring players from cafes, restaurants or pubs among other protocols.

"We won't take any risks with our players and the community," V'landys said.

"We are enforcing the original protocols to ensure our players are not mixing with the general community. We are doing everything we can to keep the playing group healthy during this period.

"We don't make decisions based on emotion, we make them based on data. We hope it's only a short spike in the infection rate, but the Commission has shown we will be agile and make the appropriate changes."

V'landys also revealed the game could revisit the possibility of a Queensland 'bubble' that was considered during the initial shut-down in March.

It could mean extended time away from home for NSW-based players, but Paul Vaughan - who became a father to a young daughter last year - said sacrifices need to be made in the interests of keeping the competition going.

"If we go to Queensland I'm sure it'll be tough to be away from the family but, if that's what has to happen, then I think everyone will be all for it," Vaughan said.

"You see what the Warriors have done this year moving away from their families and I think, if given the opportunity, everyone will do the right thing to keep the game going

"I've got a little baby girl that I don't really like spending too much time away from and my wife as well so, if it's an option, I'd love to have my family up there but it makes you realise how lucky we are.

"Even though I was gutted that the season was suspended there for a little bit but you've got to look at the positives and one of those was that I got to spend a bit if time with the family.

"I definitely missed the footy. I think everyone's very happy that it's back on and if there's a chance we move to Queensland and that's what we have to do I'm sure everyone will put their hands up for it."

Fellow Dragons prop Blake Lawrie was equally emphatic, saying the players are well aware of what's at stake for the game.

"Most definitely, if that's what it takes to keep playing the game we all love," Lawrie said when asked about the possible shift north.

"It's obviously a lot harder for people with families but I think everyone makes a lot of different sacrifices to get to the position we are in. We're very privileged as rugby league players to call this our job.

"I think everyone would be more than happy to go up there if that's what they decide to go with."
