If they all have to be different players:

Rookie - Ayshford
Improved - Moltzen
Forward - Ellis
Back - Tuiaki
Defender - Morris/Galea (Galea's defence against Manly saved us) .. should be Ellis but he deserves forward of the year
Toughest - Skando (to come back from a season ending knee injury in the UK at age 30 something is tough)
Player of the year - Benji (finally developing into the mature player we've waited 5 seasons for)

I'd be happy to run with that.

Me too. Except Tuiaki a standout for 'Most Improved'. Wouldn't have Gibbs there. Maybe next year for Bryce.

Marshall played well towards the end of the year but there were some games where he was absolutely awful, Ellis had the odd quite game but was consistently good and should win the POY award hands down imo.
