TAMWORTH, Australia: The New Zealand Warriors arrived in Australia late Sunday after the National Rugby League secured an exemption for the team to enter the country ahead of a planned resumption of the sport.
The Warriors were short two players after centre David Fusitu'a and hooker Nathaniel Roache stayed behind in Auckland. Captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck said he was excited to be reunited with his teammates but being separated from his family for a prolonged period would be challenging. Under plans thrashed out by the league and its broadcast partners this week, the season will be cut from 25 rounds to 20 - including the two already played - with a four-week playoff series ending in a Grand Final on Oct 25.
