After signing off their NRL season on Sunday the Warriors are hoping to get players and staff who have been based in Australia this year home by Christmas.<\/p>\n

However, with no MIQ spots booked and plans to have all players in a pre-season camp on 8 November, travel restrictions could keep them across the Tasman.<\/p>\n

Club ceo Cameron George said the club had been looking for MIQ spots but faced the same challenges other people did when dealing with the booking system.<\/p>\n

“It’s just difficult at this point in time when there’s so many people in the queue and we’re a part of that queue and we’ve just got to keep chipping away and hope something comes of it,”George said.<\/p>\n

George would confirm this week where the team will be based next year but any decisions will be made with winning games in mind.<\/p>\n

“We need to be together from the word go, we’ve got to win every inch in the off-season which becomes a yard in the pre-season which becomes a game day win in the season, that’s our focus and to do that we need to be together.”<\/p>\n

If the team needed to be based in Australia for another season George’s preference was to be in Queensland and linked up with their feeder club in Redcliffe.<\/p>\n

George has apologised for the conduct of the playing group in Sunday’s loss to the Gold Coast Titans and does not expect to see a repeat next season.<\/p>\n
