Warriors boss Cameron George has made the incredible claim that the NRL are yet to make contact with him and the club just one week before they are meant to fly out from Auckland to restart the season on May 28 in Sydney.

“No one has contacted me. I like to have a plan and bring people along with information, but a week out from when the deadlines would have us leave, I’ve got nothing,” George told the New Zealand Herald.

Lord giveth and lord taketh away: Will rugby league learn anything from the COVID-19 shutdown?

“There are players, families, staff, sponsors and members all asking questions and I am sitting here like a cardboard cut out.”

George then blasted the NRL for not picking up the phone.

“The situation for us is completely different to any other team in Australia. If the NRL are wanting us in this new competition, we need an open phone line of communication, not just an acknowledgment to our email.

“They can’t just ring up on Friday and say you’ve got to leave on Sunday. You’re kidding.”
