Wodonga Raiders lose their Darwin players Ryan Warfe and Tyrrell Lui

Wingman Ryan Warfe and defender Tyrrell Lui have elected to move home.

"Tyrrell went home with his family, while Ryan was keen to stay, but with the lockdown and uncertainty over whether he would have to quarantine when he did go home, he just decided it would be best to go home," coach Jarrod Hodgkin suggested.

Warfe played six games, kicking the one goal against Yarrawonga on April 17, but hadn't featured since the round seven win over Corowa-Rutherglen.

Lui contested five games, but hadn't played since the round five clash against Myrtleford on May 1.

Neither featured in the best in any game.

Still, their departure just chips away at the club's depth as it prepares to hit the road to face second-placed Wangaratta on Saturday.

The league returns to round one, although the COVID break means all teams have yet to play each other once.

Round eight will be held next weekend.
