Last season's surprise packets definitely dodged a bullet when they managed to convince Addin Fonua-Blake to stay for 2024 - he led the NRL in post-contact metres with 1,670 - and can be expected to again be dominant up front.The bad news is he is certain to leave in 2025 - but at least the club has time to find a replacement.If anything, the Warriors will be stronger next season with the return of prodigal son Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (rugby union) and the talented playmaker Chanel Harris-Tavita after a 'gap year'.Five players have moved on, but none will hurt the club with the possible exception of livewire Josh Curran, who has been great off the bench for the past two seasons.If Shaun Johnson can re-produce his heroics of last season - he led the league in try assists with 32 - then the Warriors could be on course for another top four finish.Coach Andrew Webster will be more comfortable having learned what his players can do in a fine rookie season and he has the cattle to make a real impact in the title race.
