The club is now all but certain to play its first NRL game at Mt Smart Stadium in round five.

Warriors fans have begun buying tickets for the team’s April"homecoming" against Manly with renewed confidence after the announcement of quarantine-free travel between Australia and New Zealand early next year.

The announcement comes after the Warriors began selling tickets last Friday for the round-five April 9 clash with the Sea Eagles and the round-eight fixture against North Queensland on May 2. The Prime Minister's announcement that the New Zealand Cabinet had agreed a trans-Tasman bubble would open early next year means the Warriors will not be required to quarantine for 14 days when they return to Auckland.

"We have certainty and that’s all we’re concerned about. It’s one thing to open the borders but we also need confidence they’re going to remain open.""It was important for them that the club, players and officials had certainty so they will relocate to Australia, play the pre-season here in Australia and the first couple of rounds regardless of when the travel bubble opens," NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said.
