One is youngster Kevin Locke, who has produced plenty of excitement on the wing both in attack and defence.
With Wade McKinnon stood down for disciplinary reasons, Locke gets the chance to operate in his preferred spot of fullback against Gold Coast in Auckland on Sunday.
The other is unheralded recruit Lewis Brown, who after showing plenty of spark in the back row has also been switched to his more usual position of hooker against the Titans.
While Locke, 20, shone for the Junior Warriors before his elevation to first grade, Brown was largely an unknown when he was signed by the Warriors on a one-year contract.
But Brown, 22, has demonstrated enough in his 10 matches to date to convince the club to exercise the option of retaining him for next season.
While disappointed at the Warriors' fortunes which sees them languishing third from bottom, he was "over the moon" at how things had panned out for him personally.
"If you had asked me last year how many games I would play in the NRL this year, I would probably have said I wouldn't have made my debut yet," he said.
"It's a bit of bummer that the top eight is out of the question now, but we've got five games to go to restore some pride and I've still got a lot to prove."
Brown's characteristic tenacity was evident in the 32-32 draw with Penrith last weekend.
He forced his way over for the try that helped to take the Warriors to a 32-6 lead that had seemed uncatchable.
He also pulled off a defeat-saving tackle on dangerman Michael Jennings in extra time that at least save a point.
Brown, who hails from Christchurch, played for the Riccarton club and for the Canterbury Bulls before heading to Australia.
Before returning to New Zealand to join the Warriors, he had stints as hooker in the lower grades with the Sydney Roosters and the Wests Tigers.
The closest he came then to cracking the NRL was being named 18th man for the Tigers, but he had one of the competition's best hookers, Robbie Farah, in front of him.
Brown said he had enjoyed his spell in the second row for the Warriors and it had added another string to his bow.
But was looking forward to the chance coach Ivan Cleary had given him to operate at dummy half.
"I came here as a hooker and Ivan has given me the opportunity to showcase what I've got there," he said.
"I'm just looking to do my part for the team, give good service and distribute the ball well."
Gold Coast, who are sitting third on the table, are looking to bounce back from their 18-34 loss to North Queensland last weekend.
The result ended the Titans' unbeaten record at home this season and also handed them their second loss in their past three matches.
They have dual Australian international Mat Rogers returning from injury and Kangaroos back rower Anthony Laffranchi back from suspension.
