KEY POINTS:
The Warriors are guaranteed A$100,000 ($120,792) in prizemoney even if they are beaten by the Manly Sea Eagles on Saturday night, but the players won't see any of it directly.
The NRL pays out prize money to each side playing in the top-eight playoffs - $20,000 for losing clubs in the first round, $30,000 for week two, $100,000 in week three, $200,000 for the beaten grand finalists and $400,000 for the overall winners.
Warriors chief executive Wayne Scurrah said players wouldn't be paid bonuses because the money would have to be factored into next year's salary cap. However, players would receive a share for their end-of-season team trip.
"Last year we gave the players half of the prize money for their end-of-season trip to Las Vegas," Scurrah said. "We are not talking substantial amounts but the players would agree that it's not about money. What they are here for is to play finals football."
It's thought the team is considering a trip to the Queensland coast once the season is over.
The Warriors have emerged as the dark horses of the competition with the odds on them winning the NRL shortening from $67 to $6.50.
Air New Zealand is expecting a number of Kiwis to make the trek to Sydney for Saturday's match and is considering offering extra flights.
Williment Sports Travel agency is offering NRL packages for $1699, which includes reserved match tickets to both semi-final games, three nights' accommodation and return flights.
Warriors members can buy match tickets tomorrow but Scurrah said the general public should have little trouble in securing tickets.
"With 400,000 Kiwis living in Sydney we think half of [the expected 40,000] crowd could be New Zealanders," he said.
"They don't often get the chance to watch the Warriors in finals games."
The Warriors are investigating reports of Friday's fans at Mt Smart Stadium throwing beer bottles and chicken at Roosters players.
The allegations prompted Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan to describe security at Mt Smart as a "joke" and call for the NRL to find the culprits and ban them for life.
Scurrah said the Warriors would get a debrief from the stadium.
"It's disappointing if it happened but with such a large event we think, overall, the crowd was well-behaved.
"One or two people have let them down. It's disappointing but should not take away from what was such a successful night."
Warriors players seemed unaware of the on-field action, including Price and Wiki who said that kind of behaviour was not appreciated.
"It's not something I really want to see," Price said.
"It's a no-no," Wiki added.
