The Warriors have withdrawn from this year's NRL women's premiership, but are vowing to return in 2022

The Warriors have withdrawn from this year's NRL women's premiership, but are vowing to return in 2022

11 June 2021 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

The club has finished third in each of the first three seasons, but last year had to field a largely Australian squad due to border closures.

CEO Cameron George says it was an exceptionally difficult decision to make, but says the key factor is the Covid-19 pandemic continuing to have a serious impact on the club.

George says they are fully committed to being part of a revamped and expanded NRLW next season.
