Warriors put the bite on the NRL

Althoughthe Warriors insist they are not begging for money from the NRL, they are after a more level playing field.

The club is facing another big financial loss this year of $2.2 million and have approached the NRL for help.

Warriors Chief Executive Wayne Scurrah says the New Zealand club is disadvantaged in a number of areas, such as no NRL advertising, no reserve grade and having extra travel costs, with which the NRL could help.

Scurrah says they are not whinging but they believe the NRL could help balance some of the differences with the Sydney clubs.

The Warriors major shareholders Eric Watson and Mark Hotchin are currently covering the losses.
