Fans overwhelmingly supportive of club’s surrender.

Warriors CEO Cameron George says the side are on the verge of pulling out of the 2020 NRL Season.





‘As we all know, the current situation is already dire,’ the CEO told reporters on Sunday. ‘We don’t want to make any bold moves, but we also don’t want to play any games, knowing what the repercussions will likely be.’





The Auckland based team considered temporarily relocating their home base across the Tasman in an effort to alleviate concerns, but have decided it will not stop the inevitable.





‘It’s a tricky situation, we have such great fans, and so we don’t want to risk putting them through something so bleak – for example, we thought of banning crowd attendance at games, but in the end people will just watch us at pubs and other public areas.’





Fortunately, Warriors followers have been supportive of the surrender.





‘We are a fiercely passionate fanbase – we don’t even blink during games!’ yelled avid Warriors backer and concerningly unhinged butcher Sir Peter Leitch. ‘But quite frankly I don’t need any more stimulation!’ the philanthropist bellowed, clutching at his left arm. ‘So best we chuck the towel in before any more harm is done!!’





When asked what precautions the club has already taken to mitigate the risk of a Covid-19 outbreak, Mr. George scratched his head and said: ‘Covid who now?’
