The match was originally scheduled to kick off at 18:00 AEDT but due to the extreme heat and humidity forecast for that time, the kick off time was put back to 18:50 AEDT.[5] The NRL also announced that the game will be played in four quarters of 20 minutes each, each team is allowed an additional interchange player and two extra interchanges allowed during the match.[6]
