It's time for the business end of the NRL season. The Warriors have finished 6th, securing a home final against the Penrith Panthers, but losing a couple more players to injury. Coach Andrew Webster says after their loss to the Manly Sea Eagles over the weekend, the real season starts now. Webster told Mike Hosking that he wants them to be judged on where they are now and what's about to happen. He says their mentality is to play the best football and see where it takes them, instead of putting a team on a pedestal and assuming they're beaten before they get to the start line.
