Yeah that could actually happen. With NRL now wanting a second Brisbane team in Queensland, easiest and cheapest option for them is to allow New Zealand Warriors to relocate to Brisbane and have them play most of home games there on alternative Friday nights with only occasional game away in NZ such as Eden Park in Auckland or Forsyth Barr in Dunedin.
If it was me I would work with the NRL to adjust our draw, given the goodwill towards us currently.
In a 24 week season we have 12 away games. Restructure the Warriors draw in the future to be blocks of 4 home, 4 away, 4 home, 4 away, 4 home, 4 away.
One away block base ourselves on in Queensland and play Brisbane, Gold Coast and Cowboys and the 4th week in Melbourne or Newcastle.
Then the other 2 x 4 week blocks base ourselves in Sydney, playing Sydney teams.
This means we only significantly travel 3 times in a season (excluding finals

) and as Ivan Cleary outlined, we don’t lose the day per week to travel which our record proves is significant. It would work out comparable price wise and with time away from home but allow the team to be fresher. They could even push it on a H&S angle.
Vlandys seems to be the sort of person working for the good of the game and might work towards making something like this happen.
