Queensland has recorded two new locally acquired coronavirus cases as it prepares for the NRL grand final tomorrow.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk denies she was resisting ordering a lockdown because of the NRL grand final in Brisbane and the Rugby Championship doubleheader on the Gold Coast tonight.

She says if there is evidence of community spread before either of those events she will tighten restrictions.

Meanwhile, Viliame Kikau’s Penrith Panthers will face off tomorrow at 8.30pm.

You can catch the match live on the FBC Sports channel.
