The NRL season has been placed under suspension amid the coronavirus pandemic, leaving all players, coaches and club officials in a world of uncertainty as no clear return date for rugby remains.
With the exponential spread of COVID-19, the game remains in limbo, with the season potentially facing the chance it may not resurface if the virus can't be contained in time.
Many stars and veterans of the game entered this year with retirement on their mind, and now with the time frame of 2020 up in the air, many players may have to consider that they have already played their last match.
An abrupt ending to a career is tough to celebrate, as many face the prospect of not being able to thank teammates and fans for taking part in their long, illustrious careers.
We take a look into who may have played their final match in 2020, as we hope the season returns to give them one last crack at a premiership.
4. David Gower (Parramatta Eels)
2020 will be Gower's 11th season and likely his last in the NRL.
Having backflipped on his decision to end his career at the conclusion of 2019, it will be hard to see the Eels second-row veteran return for another past the conclusion of his contract.
Gower has looked to focus on life after his playing career already, having been welcomed into the Eels' wellbeing and education department to aid Parramatta's Under 20's side and representative programs.
