NZ Warriors chief executive Cameron George is preparing for the real possibility the revised NRL competition will go ahead without them.

The NRL is expected to resume on May 28th.

While George remains hopeful the Warriors will receive clearance from Australian border security early next week, the club now faces the harshest of realities.

Speaking to Newshub, George reveals they have to start planning for the uncomfortable truth they may not play again this season.

He says if they do not get exemption, they just won't be in the competition this year.

George adds it's going to be challenging for them to accept that, but they will respect the position of the Australian government.

George says while there are a few positives in not competing this season, the flow-on effect financially would be devastating.

With that in mind, George is willing to send the players to Australia as late as possible - even if it was past the May 4 deadline for team training and isolation at the planned New South Wales base.

At this point, only players and staff would travel, and that degree of uncertainty weighs heavily on the Warriors families.
