Ummm Yeah…..Tui..just went back to his '07 form.....Moltzen played just as good last year, Lawrence defence was just as good at the backend of last year. Galloway improved for sure but....Gibbs was way way way better than previous seasons....hence Most Improved

Swap Galloway with Gibbs and I'd agree.

Galloway was great this year and last year, but Gibbs was MUCH improved this year.

To be fair Ellis could easily win 4 of those categories. :master:

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)
