The New Zealand Warriors have reaffirmed their commitment to the NRL season and confirmed they’ll continue to train out of Kingscliff in Northern New South Wales and play on the Gold Coast.

“Our players and staff have been so courageous the way they have stood up in the face of such huge adversity,” Warriors CEO Cameron George said on Friday.

“Despite the impact of the coronavirus crisis and being away from their families, they’re making enormous sacrifices for the fans and the game.

“We’re just so proud of the way they’re representing our club.

“It couldn’t be any tougher for them but they’re not letting it show by giving their undertaking to stay in Australia and do their best to represent the Vodafone Warriors and keep the competition going.

“NRL are very grateful and considerate about what players & families are going through. Our owners, the support they’ve wrapped around this club is unprecedented in our history.”

The Warriors play Canberra at CBUS Super Stadium on Saturday.
