OPINION: 2017 has been another disappointing season for the Warriors, finishing 13th with a seven win,17 loss record - the equal second worst in club history.
Despite the on-field results, some players still managed to stamp their mark, while others crumbled and failed to live up to expectations
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck: A-
The new captain took a while to find his feet after returning from his ACL injury, but improved as his confidence grew.
'RTS' led the competition in metres for backs with 4170.
David Fusitu'a: B+
Fusitua was the only Warriors player to feature in every match in 2017. He started the season with a bang - but faded badly during the middle of the season. However he finished strong with three tries in the final four matches of the season.
Ken Maumalo: A-
Maumalo had a breakout season playing some consistent football. Despite a shady first few rounds the 23-year-old showed real improvement in 2017 and looks set to own the Warriors' left wing spot moving forward.
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad: B
Nicoll-Klokstad earned a well-deserved debut in 2017 and made his mark on the wing. Strangely lost his spot after seven-straight games and wasn't seen for the last two-months of the season.
Solomone Kata: D-
Kata suffered the second-year-curse a year late. The 23-year-old struggled with a number of personal issues and it clearly affected his play. Kata can be a defensive liability at times and must improve that facet of his game to feature long-term.
Blake Ayshford: D+
It was a below par season for the 29-year-old who was reliable at best. Ayshford has re-upped for 2018 so has a chance to stamp his mark with a more consistent showing.
Kieran Foran: D
Foran started his stint at the club strongly, but as the season progressed he faded away noticeably.
The 2011 premiership winner may go down as one of the most disappointing signings in club history, but maybe expectations were set too high given his return from injury and well-documented personal issues.
Shaun Johnson: B+
The Warriors struggled with Johnson but they were diabolical without him. Despite the criticism thrown Johnson's way, the Warriors need him to succeed. Their overall record without him in the last five-years is 2-17. Need I say more?
Ata Hingano: C+
Hingano found himself either starting at five-eighth or coming off the bench for limited game time. Playing in his natural position in the halves, he showed his potential with some good carries and great footwork. The young half will likely start in the No. 6 jersey next season.
Mason Lino: C
Put in a solid shift against the Cowboys and Raiders, but did struggle in the other matches he played. Lino is best suited playing the back-up role in the team.
Issac Luke: D
Luke was one of the most disappointing players this season for the Warriors. He had some shocking performances and often looked like he simply gave up on the team during critical points during games.
Nathaniel Roache: B
Roache got limited chances in first grade this year but the hooker brought a spark onto the field. The 21-year-old played with the passion that others failed to find in 2017.
Jazz Tevaga: C
Tevaga struggled with some off-field issues during the year and as a punishment, he did not see much first-grade.
Ben Matulino: B
The departing prop was a solid contributor but was unable to inspire the team during the backend of the season. However, he will be a big loss for the Warriors.
Jacob Lillyman: C
Lillyman put in some good performances, averaging 126 metres per game. That probably won't be enough to keep him at the club, especially if Adam Blair is Auckland bound.
James Gavet: A
Gavet only played half the season but made an impact when he did play. Averaged 112 metres this season and his form was one of the positives to come out of the season.
Sam Lisone: D+
Lisone has the skills to be a good impact player off the bench, but rookie errors, along with silly penalties have let the prop down.
Charlie Gubb: C+
Like most of the other forwards, the prop did not make a massive impact. Gubb is a solid bench player and should fit that role nicely at the Canberra Raiders in 2018.
Albert Vete: D
Vete did not feature much due to poor form and a broken arm. He is in the mould of Sam Lisone where he has the potential to be great, but schoolboy errors let him down.
Bodene Thompson: D
Thompson really needed to step up and take a leadership role but failed to do so. The second-rower was another player who performed well below his standards. He is not currently contracted to the Warriors next season.
Ryan Hoffman: C+
Hoffman, by his own account had a poor season - his last for the club. A broken foot meant he misses a portion of the season, but when he returned he finished with a few good performances.
Simon Mannering: A+
While most players saw their numbers dip, Simon Mannering saw a big increase in his.
The guy plays like a machine ever single match, averaging 45 tackles, and 129 metres per game. Mannering seemed like he was the only player who was actually trying at time and played with his heart on his sleeve. He was once again the most reliable and worked tirelessly every match.
Bunty Afoa: C
Due to injuries, Afoa played more first-grade than he probably anticipated. Afoa definitely still has more to improve on, especially on defence where he often got exposed.
Ligi Sao: D
Sao has been a disappointment since joining the Warriors. He is a very inconsistent player who lacks discipline. With Leivaha Pulu coming on board, Sao might be limited to reserve grade in 2018.
Not considered due to lack of first-grade:
James Bell, Isaiah Papali'I, Chris Satae
