New Zealand Warriors captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck says the team is getting to grips with life in Tamworth, Australia having completed their first day’s training.

Players were able to train in small groups today, a day before the other NRL clubs get back on the ground and speaking from inside the team’s bubble in the remote NSW town, Tuivasa-Sheck said the boys have loved being back together under these odd circumstances.

The Warriors are able to train in groups of no more than 10 this week and it could be a while before they do contact training.

Tuivasa-Sheck says the next couple of weeks is all about getting their skills back, getting the body right and hopefully when they move out of isolation, they can start to work back in their 13.

With all that’s got on with the Warriors over the past six weeks, it’s easy to forget about the poor start they had to the season, losing to the Knights 20-0, then the Raiders 20-6. No Warriors player has scored a try yet this season and Tuivasa-Sheck says they’ll be looking to make improvements in finishing when the season resumes.

The NRL resumes on the 28th of this month.
