Being an elimination final it is a pretty straight forward equation for the Warriors, but Thomas says there is more to it.
“If we can’t win again this weekend we haven't succeeded like we hoped we would,” He said.
“This week we need to win at all costs and try and rectify the disappointment from last week.”
In Warriors qualifying final against Horsham Saints they displayed poor skills which proved costly. Stawell went down by a considerable margin.
The scoreboard didn't reflect the close nature of the game, but the result remained the same.
The Warriors were forced to cash in on the second chance and will now meet Demons. From the three meetings so far this season Warriors have been victorious on two occasions.
Thomas has been forced to make some changes to his line up.
Tom Taurau suffered a badly broken nose in last weeks match and will be sidelined tomorrow.
Taurau will make way for his younger brother Jackson who returns from Rebels commitments. Sam Williams is also a likely inclusion after overcoming a bruised heal.
Warriors play in Dimboola on Sunday.
