Newcastle's victory at Eden Park on Sunday ended the Warriors' campaign and set up a preliminary-final meeting with Penrith.
Sam Hewat and Anthony Gelling examine the elimination semi-final, including the errors that hurt the Wahs beyond the result itself.
The pair assess how Newcastle targeted and exposed the home side, while also considering the influence of controversial bunker decisions.
They then turn towards 2026, discussing the Warriors' likely squad shape and the lineup supporters could see when Round 1 arrives.
The Knights are clear outsiders against the Panthers, with betcha* listing them at $3.80 in the head-to-head market.
In the other preliminary-final pathway, the Dolphins are favoured at $1.65 against the Sydney Roosters, who are priced at $2.25.
