It may still be fresh in the mind of some fans but the Warriors aren't taking anything from their decisive win over the Panthers two weeks ago - or any other match for that matter.
The Warriors touched down in Sydney ahead of their first appearance in the NRL playoffs in seven years this afternoon with an elimination match against the Panthers taking place on Saturday night.
Coach Stephen Kearney says the team haven't been swept up by the emotions of returning to finals footy.
"It's a new competition now so we're preparing for their best performance, so our focus this week has been preparing well so we take our best performance as well.
"It's a new ball game now."
The Kiwi club played Penrith just under two weeks ago, cementing their place in this year's top eight with a 36-16 win at Mt Smart Stadium.
But outside of the result, the Warriors haven't managed to beat the Panthers in Australia since 2012.
Kearney said previous games don't matter come Saturday night.
"We've had those sorts of obstacles put in our way all year. We hadn't won in Perth for a long time. We hadn't won up in Townsville for a long time as well."
The winner of Saturday's eliminator will face the loser of clash between the Roosters and Sharks next week.
