Warriors quartet booked on flights home after two more games – NRL.COM

Warriors CEO Cameron George has announced David Fusitua, Ken Maumalo, Agnatius Paasi and King Vuniyayawa have been booked to fly home on July 27 to be reunited with their families.
The players had originally committed to stay in Australia only until Sundays match against Cronulla unless the NRL succeeded in its efforts to secure travel exemptions for their families to enter Australia.
Due to the unavailability of flights, the four players will now remain with the team another week until after the encounter with the Sydney Roosters next Saturday.
George said Fusitua, Maumalo, Paasi and Vuniyayawa had the total support of the players, staff and the club. The same applied for Leivaha Pulu who returned home two weeks ago.
“We cant say enough about the sacrifice they have made being away from their families so long,” he said.
“We fully understand the predicament they have been in and were so appreciative of what they have done in committing to the cause for as long as they have.
“When we travelled to Australia we promised the players everything possible in our control would be done to secure travel exemptions for their families to join them there.

“Ultimately the decision lies with government agencies to approve the applications the NRL made on our behalf.
“There hasnt been any sign of a favourable result, which we accepted was always a possibility. Given those circumstances David, Ken, Agantius and King are free to go home.
“As well as thanking them for all theyve done we would also like to thank Peter Vlandys and the NRL for all the work theyve put in for the players and their families. Were hugely disappointed it hasnt worked out as we would have liked but it was out of our control.”
The players will be required to go into isolation for 14 days in New Zealand before they can finally see their families next month.
George said consideration was now being given to how best to replace the returning players in the squad.
