Having already successfully plugged the gap left by Wade McKinnon, Lance Hohaia is now burdened with filling the dead-eye kicking boots at the Warriors.
When McKinnon went down with a serious pre-season knee injury, Hohaia was deemed the best alternative and has done a fine job, including a man-of-the-match effort in last week's 40-22 win over the Bulldogs.
As if those expectations weren't enough, he is now having to take on the goal-kicking duties at a club that is used to four points being turned into six.
The Warriors have been blessed over the years with sharpshooters like Matthew Ridge, current coach Ivan Cleary, Tony Martin and most recently Michael Witt who could slot them from all over the park.
With Witt out of favour and unable to break into a halves combination building in confidence, it appears Hohaia has the duties for the rest of the season.
Witt's kicking boots are big ones to fill, given his 62 goals from 67 attempts last season at 92.5 percent, breaking Daryl Halligan's record of 87.1 and also coming close to Hazem El Masri's 35 successes in a row before bowing out on 28.
Hohaia, by contrast, has kicked 16 from 28 in 2008 at 57 percent - well down on the NRL's top goal-slotters who are in the high 70s and low 80s.
However, he says he doesn't feel the weight of expectation created by Witt every time he lines one up.
"I'm a different kicker to Witty. He obviously kicked really well last year and at the beginning of this year - I just want to try to kick as many as I can," Hohaia said.
"I've practiced consistently since the start of training back in pre-season and try and two at least two or three sessions a week. Sometimes you don't kick as well as you'd like to and I've got to keep practising and hopefully do better this week."
His latest effort was four from eight in Saturday's 40-22 win over the Bulldogs where, in all fairness, most were from near the touchline due to a hat-trick from Malo Solomona and another to fellow wing Aidan Kirk.
It is the ones out wide that are giving him the most grief and in combination with Cleary, Hohaia is working on emulating Witt's dead-eye from the sideline.
"I think I'm striking it alright but some of them are scored out wide and I probably don't practice as many out wide as what I had in the weekend," he said.
"It's just a matter of trying to get out onto the field and get in a bit of rhythm and keep the same routine wherever you are on the field."
Hohaia's percentages have not been an issue over the last fortnight in outscoring the Bulldogs eight tries to three and the Cowboys five to three, but that could change in a number of tight must-win matches heading into a hopeful playoff berth.
Cleary says he has 'confidence in him to do the job' and Hohaia is relying on practice and his in-form team-mates to ensure it doesn't become an issue.
"Hopefully games don't come down to us losing by goal kicks."
