Military precision: Warriors lead NRL teams in training return

The Warriors needed special government exemption to get in the country but are now the first NRL side to hit the training paddock, being put through their paces with military precision on Tuesday.

Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck reported that most players were"blowing hard" after their first group hit-out following six weeks of stringent quarantine and lock down living in New Zealand."One group was up early for breakfast, they do their mobility, get ready, then get on the field. Then the next group get up and have breakfast and so on, it was almost like a chain.

Having not had access to regular weights equipment since the NRL went on hiatus, Tuivasa-Sheck said players and staff have been clamouring to use the makeshift gym at their Tamworth compound, some attending"two or three times in a day".
