In news that will surely stir up the Warriors faithful, star playmaker Shaun Johnson has been ruled out of action for a tough four to six weeks due to a pesky Achilles tendon issue known in medical circles as chronic Achilles tendinopathy.
Coach Andrew Webster dropped this bombshell during a press briefing earlier this week, just as the squad was being finalized for this weekend's showdown with the mighty Brisbane Broncos at the iconic Go Media Stadium.
Adding to the injury woes, promising centre Rocco Berry will also be watching from the sidelines for an unspecified period after sustaining a nasty shoulder injury in the clash against Melbourne.
However, there is a glimmer of hope as Ali Leiataua, Paul Roache, and Zyon Maiu'u are all gearing up for their triumphant return from ankle setbacks in the near future.
It's a blow for the Warriors, but as they say in the world of Rugby League, it's all part of the game.
With Johnson's absence, the team will need to dig deep and rally together to fill the void left by their star halfback.
But as true footy fans know, adversity breeds champions, and the Warriors will no doubt rise to the occasion with grit and determination.
So let's rally behind the boys in blue and show the support as they face off against the Broncos this weekend.
In the words of the great Rugby League legends of yesteryear, let's give it the all and leave it all out on the field.
Let's show them what the Warriors are made of!
