‘Scary, disheartening’: The NRLW players stranded in Australia | app85
They arrived in Australia with dreams of winning an NRLW title, but three New Zealand-based players don’t even know if they will return home before Christmas after being caught up in a COVID-19 quarantine nightmare.
They have been told there are no bookings available until December, but are sweating on confirmation some spots will be opened up on a first-in best-dressed basis next month. New Zealand-based NRLW players Maitua Feterika, Charlotte Scanlan and Katelyn Vaha’akolo are stuck in Australia after the postponement of the competition.
Their permanent employers agreed to give them time away to be part of the NRLW season, which has been delayed until 2022. Scanlan works with the Warriors’ community arm, Feterika is a high school sports co-ordinator and Vaha’akolo is studying to become a teacher. Making the players’ experience even harder was the fact they unknowingly attended an exposure site after arriving in Australia and were temporarily forced into isolation.
