Addin Fonua-Blake, who was hailed as the players' player of the year, cemented his position as the top front rower in the game during his 85-game stint with the club.
A powerhouse on the field, Fonua-Blake not only topped the charts for try-scoring props with eight tries, but also dominated in post-contact metres and average post-contact metres.
His presence was felt in the most run metres category as well, showcasing his talent and strength as a key player for the Warriors.
Despite being sidelined by injury towards the end of the season, veteran halfback Shaun Johnson left a lasting impact with his 16 appearances.

As fans look back on the season, they can appreciate the sheer talent and dedication displayed by these players.
Whether it's Fonua-Blake bulldozing his way through defenders or Johnson orchestrating plays with finesse, the 2024 season was filled with memorable moments and outstanding performances on the field.
