The Warriors have suffered a significant blow as they search to regain some form of momentum after a disastrous last outing against the Titans.
Star halfback Shaun Johnson has suffered an Achilles injury and will miss up to four weeks of action.
The 33-year-old has battled with that injury for most of the season, but it was a hamstring strain which forced him from the field in the 66-6 hammering on the Gold Coast.
Coach Andrew Webster said Johnson had done everything he could to have rehabbed the injury but it hadn’t come right.
