The Warriors hope their fans can understand four players deciding to return home to New Zealand mid-NRL season

David Fusitu'a, Ken Maumalo, Agnatius Paasi and King Vuniyayawa will depart the Central Coast base after next weekend's match against the Roosters to head back home.

It had been hoped families would be granted exemptions to join them in Australia, but progress has not been forthcoming from the Australian authorities.

Chief executive Cameron George says they vowed to do everything they could to get families over to join the camp...but changing circumstances mean that is clearly no longer possible.



The club is investigating how to replace the quartet.
