He has experienced Premiership glory in each of the past two years, but it’s memories of missing out on the playoffs that are shaping Andrew Webster’s approach to the final month of the regular season.
Excitement around the Kiwi club is building on both sides of the Tasman and for good reason.
The last time the Warriors went into Round 23 as high as third on the ladder was 2002 – the year they made their first Grand Final appearance – and in the 21 years since, they’ve approached this part of the season sitting in the top eight just seven times. But there is no hint of self-applause starting at Warriors HQ, with the players and Webster certain they still aren’t playing their style well enough to get to where they want to be.
“There is obviously a good buzz around New Zealand at the moment and even when we go overseas the fans are really soaking up how well the team is playing,” fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad said. We are in good stead, we’ve set our season up really well… but really, we haven’t achieved anything, we are just in the top four at the moment.“Holding up the big one at the end of the year, that’s an achievement for us, that’s the achievement, that’s success, isn’t it?”
