(The Other) NRL end of season awards.

This is something I have done for a few years now.  But this is the first time I have posted it on this forum.  The two biggest awards are The Paul Carige award and The Neville Glover award.  The Paul Carige award goes to the player who had the worst individual performance in a finals match.  The Neville Glover award goes to the player who bombed a certain try in a finals match.  Here are the winners for 2018.

The Paul Carige Award - Cameron Munster
The Neville Glover Award - Shaun Johnson
Rookie of the year - Jamayne Isaako
Most improved player - Damien Cook
Best coach - Anthony Seibold
Worst coach - Brad Arthur
Biggest scumbag - Will Chambers
Most overrated - Josh Jackson
Most underrated - Mitchell Aubusson
Best Buy- Cooper Cronk
Worst Buy - Jack Bird

    • I've seen the video highlights of how he bombed the try in the 1976 grand final. It's got nothing to do with playing ability, the award is only named after him because it was one of the biggest bombed tries in the history of finals/grand finals.

      The only other name I could give is the anthony mundine award.
  • Neville also scored a try the first time he touched the ball representing Australia. Maybe an award for that? Neville is in our legends team for a reason.

  • Lighten up Old Blokes. Yes Neville was a fine player but he's also become an Eels folklore trope. Harsh but I've heard he's moved on. 

    Pretty good list, esp, Jackson, Aubusson, Cronk. 

  • Josh Jackson? Don’t understand that one.

  • The Paul Carriage award could have gone to Widdop for the white hair-do.

    I reckon Jack Bird will be good next year when injury free.

    Aaron woods would give Most overrated a good shake.

    Everything else Is pretty spot on.
