The NRL will attempt to forge ahead with the season despite the coronavirus pandemic with the Warriors confirming they will remain in Australia rather than return home to New Zealand.
Travellers face a two-week isolation period if they arrive in New Zealand after midnight on Sunday (NZDT), virtually ruling out any chance of a game being played there while the restrictions are in place.
“We have reached a decision for the team to stay in Australia for the coming week. They’ll be based on the Gold Coast and will play Canberra next weekend, probably at Cbus Super Stadium,” Warriors boss Cameron George said on Sunday.
