The Warriors are well placed for a top four finish in the NRL but the side are drowning out the external noise.
The Auckland based side will carry the favourites tag into all five of their remaining regular season games, though coach Andrew Webster said that means nothing.
"The opposition don't care whose favourites so we've just got to worry about what we're going to do when they're done.
"We've been favourites on a lot of occasions this year, we don't actually look at the odds. I mean, one they don't gamble on football, but the only way they'd know that is everyone tells them or they just work it out based on what the situation is at time."
Webster said they aren't getting caught up in the praise being heaped on the side both in New Zealand and Australia.

"It doesn't matter what the outside noise is, we know what we're going to do. We know how to handle that situations, there is no added pressure on ourselves."
He said they are never content.
"The biggest thing for us is the players have identified that they don't think they're good enough, the boys are hungry for that improvement and they're not looking too far ahead."
Fullback Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad shares his coaches sentiments.
"We haven't really we haven't achieved anything. We're just in the top four at the moment and that that's how it is right now. We've got a really big five weeks of rugby league coming up and it'll be a week by week mentality."
Nicoll-Klokstad said the bandwagon is well and truly full.
"Obviously there is a good buzz around New Zealand at the moment and even when we go overseas, the fans are really soaking up."
However, he knows how quickly things can derail.
"That's just a result of what we're doing on the field but for us it's just about making sure that we put our best foot forward and getting everything right that we need to during the week."

Nicoll-Klokstad said though they are sitting in an enviable position, any side could tip them over.
"It's a really tough competition and it's definitely something that we need to be aware of."
The Warriors meet the 12th placed Titans on the Gold Coast on Friday night.
Webster said the Titans have multiple attacking threats and said the visitors will need to be wary.
"They're fast. They're probably the fastest team in the NRL and individuals can pull you apart if you give them half a step, so it's a great opportunity for us to be on with our defences."
