Warriors coach Nathan Brown 'WON'T commit to move to New Zealand'

Nathan Brown has informed New Zealand Warriors that he will not commit to a move to Auckland, leaving the NRL club with a mid-season dilemma.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced the Warriors to base themselves in Australia, but with restrictions easing the club are preparing to move back across the Tasman for the 2023 season.

However, the impending return has seen some players express their desire to leave the club to remain in Australia - including Euan Aitken, Matt Lodge and Reece Walsh.

And according to The Sydney Morning Herald, Brown has told club chiefs that he does not want to move to New Zealand, either, and now they have a decision to make.
