<P> The Warriors finished the season on a positive note leaving room for optimism for 2007 and beyond . They caused arguably the upset of the season, defeating the Minor Premiers Melbourne 24--20 at Olympic Park Stadium in Melbourne, preventing the Storm from going the full regular season unbeaten at home . </P> <P> Impressively, it took the Warriors 24 weeks to be completely out of finals contention . The Warriors finished winning eight of their final twelve games, including a 42--16 thrashing of the Roosters in Round 25, which included four tries by Jerome Ropati . Had the Warriors not suffered the four - point deduction, they would have finished in eighth place on the ladder, and hence would have taken part in the finals series . As it was, they finished tenth on the ladder . </P> <P> There were a number of revelations in the squad . Unheralded halfback Grant Rovelli was a standout performer . Winger Patrick Ah Van has cemented a first grade spot and impressed many with his performances, while George Gatis and Nathan Fien were fine performers at hooker, and centre Simon Mannering has been one of the Warriors most impressive backs . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> Pld </Th> <Th> Won </Th> <Th> Drew </Th> <Th> Lost </Th> <Th> Bye </Th> <Th> Points For </Th> <Th> Points Against </Th> <Th> Points Differential </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4th (of 16) </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> 593 </Td> <Td> 434 </Td> <Td> + 159 </Td> </Tr> </Table>
