The player can select the other Nation the following year.

Are Players Covered By Insurance?

Yes. RLSQ is sanctioned by the QRL and players are covered by A.J Gallagher.

1. Players MUST BE REGISTERED WITH a QRL affiliated Club.

2. If players ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH a Club, insurance fee ($50) will be added to their levy.

The RLSQ insurance cover is the same as all current QRL clubs in a QRL competition.

Will There Be Added Costs?

Can I Get A Refund?

THIS IS TO BE DISCUSSED INDIVIDUALLY with the EXECUTIVE TEAM.

Once RLSQ have ordered the apparel, refunds are ONLY available pending each individual case under strict conditions.

If the Queensland or Australian governments cancel sporting events or gatherings that do not allow for ALL families to attend due to Covid related concerns or weather does not allow the carnival to continue, this is out of RLSQ control and we cannot refund players.
