North Queensland Cowboys

The North Queensland Cowboys have crowned Scott Drinkwater as their 2023 player of the year, with the star fullback taking out his first Paul Bowman medal.

The star, despite a suspension early in the year, was the best all campaign for the Cowboys and never looked in doubt of claiming the top gong in Townsville.

If not for his suspension, he would be a likely contender for the Dally M Medal, which will be announced on the Wednesday evening prior to the grand final.
