Griffiths steered the Knights to back-to-back NRLW premiership in 2022 and 2023 before he accepted a new challenge at the helm of Newcastle's NSW Cup men's team this year.
After a 30-8 loss to Parramatta in reserve grade on Saturday, the Knights are 10th in the 13-team NSW Cup competition.
It is understood that Knights officials have agreed to release Griffiths so that he can accept a multi-year deal with the Warriors.
The Warriors were involved in the inaugural NRLW, in 2018, but were forced to withdraw in 2020 because of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
They are set to re-enter next year as part of an expanded 12-team competition.
Griffiths' deal with the Auckland-based club is expected to be confirmed early this week.
