There's no stopping the Warriors right now.
And those set to buy them say there's nothing getting in the way of a done deal either.
"The lawyers gotta just make sure the 't's are crossed 'i's are dotted," says Richard Fale. "We don't see any reason or any complication that would come between that and the final signing."
Fale is the head of the Tongan-US consortium set to buy the NRL club and he says they've reached a verbal agreement.
The team's recent performance - they're unbeaten through four rounds of the new season - could mean they're paying a premium. Fale wouldn't say exactly how much, but said the significant increase in price was unjustified.
"There were discussions," says Fale. "There's a little bit of increasing the price.
"More than $20m was always the starting price for us, so we are where we're comfortable at."
Former Warriors chairman Jeff Green says it will be tough for overseas buyers to take on the homegrown franchise and he's offering a word of advice.
"A 4-and-0 start is fantastic for the Warriors and there's always a chance that the new ownership will tinker with things," he says. "Let's hope it doesn't happen that way.
Fale says he has full confidence in the CEO and coach.
"Cameron George is doing a fantastic job and when it comes to on-the-field stuff, the football side of the house, coach Kearney is absolutely outstanding," he says.
But local bidders Carlaw Heritage Trust insisted today they're still in the running to buy the Warriors.
So the competition isn't just on the field, but on the negotiating table too.
