The Warriors have put a week of confusion behind them after finally receiving approval to enter Australia for the revised NRL season.

The Australian Border Force has given the green light for a group of 50 players and staff to depart for the NSW city of Tamworth tomorrow afternoon, where they will be able to train as a group for a 14-day isolation period.

There are still a few details to be ironed out, such as when the players' families will be able to join them and where they will play their 'home' games.

But a relieved Warriors chief executive Cameron George confirmed that their key requirements had been met, clearing the way for the team to ramp up preparations for the NRL's targeted return date on May 28th.
