The rugby league community are getting behind the homeless New Zealand Warriors after the besieged club confirmed it would stay in Australia and continue to play.

Journalists and fans alike took to social media on Friday to show their love for the Warriors by picking up 2020 memberships.

Why Jason Taumalolo is simply the best and guaranteed to be Tonga’s first rugby league Immortal

The team is currently training in Kingscliff on the New South Wales north coast and play the Raiders this weekend on the Gold Coast.

Get your plastic out and go #ALLIN with @NZWarriors 🤜🏼🤛🏼 https://t.co/h0rbD1CucL

Proud to call myself both a @NRL_Bulldogs and @NZWarriors member this year. The strength and courage the players have shown to decide to play on here – even if its for a week, is worthy of everyone's support 👊 #proudtobeabulldog #WeAreWarriors

I'm a proud @RaidersCanberra supporter (and member) but I've just become a @NZWarriors member also… to show them I'm behind them during a tough patch. ✊ #NRL pic.twitter.com/u99l26nPNI

Thanks @NZWarriors for the sacrifice you are all making to keep the @NRL going.

The TV revenue will contribute to keeping a lot of people in the industry in jobs.

To show my appreciation, you now have a new member. I’m a proud @SeaEagles gold member & now a NZ Warriors member! pic.twitter.com/3NXAksW5X3

With so much selfishness around at the moment, it’s refreshing to see how many people are doing what they can to support the @NZWarriors and purchasing a non-ticketed membership.

I have taken a leaf out of @ryanselvage's book and I have purchased a @NZWarriors supporters membership to say #ThankYouWarriors. Being able to watch football during this #coronavirus outbreak will help many. Buy a membership to your club and the Warriors in 2020. pic.twitter.com/ykWsQPk90z

$42 is a small sacrifice to support the @NZWarriors and their players.

These guys are putting their family and lives on hold for the longevity of our great game.

I dont know what the future holds but if even it means one or two more weeks in Australia, I hope it helps. pic.twitter.com/0HRQuGlmW3
