The Warriors have been dealt a devastating blow as they gear up to bounce back from their recent thrashing by the Titans.

Star player Shaun Johnson will be sidelined for at least a month due to a pesky Achilles tendon injury, putting a major dent in the team's hopes of climbing back into the top eight.

Coach Andrew Webster is keeping a level head amidst the chaos, opting to stick with Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita in the halves rather than making sweeping changes after their embarrassing loss.

The Origin players are set to return to the lineup, providing a much-needed boost for the struggling side.

Meanwhile, the Broncos are facing some selection headaches of their own, with Origin trio Reece Walsh, Patrick Carrigan, and Payne Haas all potentially unavailable for the upcoming match.

Rising star Selwyn Cobbo has been named at centre, looking to make his mark after being snubbed by the Maroons.

It's a tough road ahead for the Warriors as they aim to regroup and make a push towards finals contention.

With Johnson sidelined, the team will need to dig deep and rally together to overcome this setback and emerge stronger than ever.

The pressure is on, but as they say in the world of Rugby League, when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

It's time for the Warriors to show what they're made of and rise to the challenge.
