The Cronulla Sharks had a good regular season but couldn't continue their form in the post-season which saw them be eliminated by the Sydney Roosters in the first week of the finals.
Brailey went above and beyond this season in what is definitely his best year to date. The hooker was a workhorse in defence and a sensation in attack. This saw him called up to the NSW Blues extended squad to learn off the likes of Apisai Koroisau and Damien Cook.

Daly Cherry Evans has claimed the club's Best and Fairest Award this season, making him only the third three-time winner of the award after Glenn Stewart and Jake Trbojevic.
In what was a tough season for the Sea Eagles after narrowly missing out on the NRL finals. However, their season was mired by injuries to key players. This saw Jake Trbojevic and Tom Trbojevic miss a ton of games throughout the season due to injuries. With multiple new arrivals next season they will be eager to do better.
Cherry-Evans nearly got the club into the top-eight single-handedly but struggled to find any help in the halves, going through a plethora of different playmakers. He will be hoping Luke Brooks can add some stability next year.
Meanwhile, Reuben Garrick, Jason Saab, Dean Matterson, Josh Aloiai, Haumole Olakauatu, Jake Trbojevic and Lachlan Croker were also among the award-winners out of the top squad.

Shaun Johnson's incredible season has ended with him sweeping up the club's major awards for 2023.
It was a great season for the club, finishing in the top four after finishing in 15th place last season. Johnson was consistently their best performer and is considered a favourite to take home the Dally M Medal, showing he is aging like fine wine, and age shouldn't be an issue in the competition.
It means Johnson has taken out the Simon Mannering Medal, the NRL Players' Player Award and the One New Zealand Warriors People's Choice award voted by the fans.

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.
In addition to winning the club's top gong, Drinkwater also took out the players' player, while Reuben Cotter won the fan choice award on the men's side.
