Utility David Fusitu'a made the most appearances and also finished as the top try-scorer in the Vodafone Warriors' 2017 NRL campaign.
He was the only player to appear in all 24 games with Sam Lisone, Issac Luke and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck missing just one match.
Fusitu'a ended the season with 12 tries - taking his career tally to 32 in 57 games - while Tuivasa-Sheck was next with 10 followed by wings Ken Maumalo and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad with seven each.
Shaun Johnson was again the leading points-scorer with 108 points, the fifth straight season he has reached three figures since becoming the first-choice goal-kicker in 2013. In a season in which he took his overall tally to 775 points - going past Stacey Jones' previous club record of 674 points - Johnson also had the best strike rate of his career, kicking 45 of 57 attempts (78.95%).
Simon Mannering overtook Jones' long-held club record of 261 appearances to finish on 280, within reach next year of becoming the first player to appear in 300 NRL games for the Vodafone Warriors (and only the second New Zealander to do so after Ruben Wiki reached the mark in 2008).
Other milestones reached during the year included Ryan Hoffman joining the NRL's 300 club, Jacob Lillyman playing his 250th NRL match - taking his club tally to 188 (the most by an Australian player) - with Ben Matulino going past 200 games (the fourth for the Vodafone Warriors), Blake Ayshford reaching the 150-game mark and Tuivasa-Sheck playing his 100th career match.
Solomone Kata, Lisone, Hoffman, Fusitu'a, Bodene Thompson and Tuimoala Lolohea all made their 50th appearances for the club this year.
Apart from Mannering's 300th appearance, other major milestones in prospect next season are Issac Luke's 250th career match (he's on 231) and Johnson's 150th (he's on 143).
