"We need to keep the same level of effort we showed against the Cowboys at the weekend. It was just the little details which let us down ... mental lapses during critical moments. We switched off for a moment and gave away possession. We all need to perform our roles so this doesn't happen. They are not hard things to fix up," Harris said.
"We need to stay engaged for the whole game. That effort we showed against the Cowboys has to be repeated for every game ... we need to step up. The Storm are the best at taking advantage of opportunities when they arise. That's why we need to be engaged for the full 80 minutes."
Versatile secondrower Harris has played every minute of all six Warriors games to date this season. He has clocked up 736 running metres, an average of 122.8 per game and boasts an 89.10 per cent tackling efficiency.
"There was a game or two at the start of the season when I wasn't happy with my form. But I've got into my rhythm in recent weeks and that's on the back of everyone working hard. I have to keep working hard and do my role for the team."
An NRL Premiership winner with the Storm in 2017 after experiencing defeat in the grand final the previous year, Harris, who is in his second season of a four-season contract with the Warriors is likely to be well marked by his former teammates. He has already proven throughout his career he has the necessary composure and discipline levels to cope with that sort of pressure.
Should he maintain his own high standards set in recent weeks and the Warriors produce a competitive display, the chances of a Kiwis recall for the June 22 test against Tonga in Auckland will be enhanced. Although that should be a formality providing he is injury-free.
Harris played the last of his 16 tests for the Kiwis in 2016. Injuries or rest periods have prevented him from playing for his country since then.
He is one of an elite group of Kiwis who have played in three consecutive wins against the Kangaroos - 30-12 and 22-18 victories in 2014 and a 26-12 win in 2015.
One of his former Kiwis teammates, Manu Vatuvei, is performing well on the Dancing with the Stars television show and several of Harris' Warriors teammates were seen in the audience this week. While Harris wasn't among them the question had to be put to him.
Would he consider a stint on the show in the future?
"Definitely not," he replied.
"Big T" as he is known to Warriors fans has got enough on his plate starting with this week's assignment. Like he said ... the Storm are going to be a challenge.
His Warriors have too much talent on their roster to be occupying 10th place on the table. It is time for Harris and co to hush talk across the Tasman suggesting they will finish in the bottom four this season.
