Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a deserved winner of the Warriors' Player of the Year award.
Cynics might suggest the club could have cancelled their awards night this year, after one of the most disappointing NRL seasons in recent memory but Tuivasa-Sheck - and a handful of others - emerged with credit from the rubble.
The 24-year-old didn't always find his best form, and admitted last month that he was only happy with about "40 per cent" of his games this year. But his effort, energy and work ethic was consistently outstanding, especially with the chaos all around.
In February, Tuivasa-Sheck was handed the skipper's armband by coach Stephen Kearney, inheriting arguably the toughest captaincy assignment across the NRL.
It was a rough learning curve. There was the Kieran Foran dramas that overshadowed the start of the season, and he was let down by the inconsistency of his senior lieutenants as well as the form lapses of the younger players at the club.
