The National Rugby League has rejected suggestions it has not received official approval for proceeding with its proposed 28 May restart.

After the Project Apollo innovations committee announced on Thursday that the NRL planned to end its hiatus at the end of next month, there have been questions about whether the Australian Rugby League Commission has received sufficient government approval for the move.

The NRL has revealed ARL Commission chairman Peter V'landys received a letter from the NSW commissioner of police and state emergency operations controller, Mick Fuller, to say he had permission to proceed with plans to get the competition back up and running.

Fuller wrote that the NSW Health Minister's directions relating to COVID-19 does not preclude the NRL from commencing a competition.
