This upcoming run provides the perfect storm not to panic about change. If Tanah Boyd can settle in and find rhythm in these next few weeks, the Warriors could be entering the finals with both momentum and flexibility. If there had to be a change in the halves, this really is the best stretch to do it. Facing teams like the Tigers, Knights, Titans, and Dolphins, while never easy games, does allow for a more manageable transition for a new chief playmaker. Had it been a run of games against the Storm, Broncos, or even the Bulldogs at Belmore, that pressure would’ve forced a "sink or swim" scenario from day one. Instead, this run gives room to build combinations, manage confidence, and sharpen systems ahead of the finals push.

Webster has cultivated a belief system that allows for new players like Tanah Boyd to step in without needing to be a miracle worker overnight. The team’s structure and systems are solid, so it becomes about slotting in and executing rather than overhauling. Many fans will probably view Boyd through the lens of his Titans stint. But this is a completely different scenario: better coaching, a more consistent forward pack, and a much more disciplined team around him. He doesn’t need to overplay his hand—just direct traffic, play short sides well, and kick smart.

The real concern for me is the Bye. we have looked sluggish post-Bye already on both occasions, and the Tigers can sting you early if you're not ready. Their up-tempo style can catch teams on the back foot, so matching that early energy and completing sets cleanly in the first 20 will be key.

That Bulldogs game away is shaping up to be a litmus test. If the Warriors can bank some points in the next 4 weeks and then give a good account of themselves in that fixture, it will say a lot about their finals readiness—not just from a ladder position, but in terms of grit, control, and execution under pressure.
