Sydney Roosters back-rower Angus Crichton has claimed the Brad Fittler Medal to headline the NSWRL awards night on Monday evening.
Honoured in front of 500 guests, the 28-year-old won the award after averaging 162 running metres a game, made 61 tackles and provided two line-break assists throughout the 2024 State of Origin series, helping the NSW Blues win the title.
Beginning the season in the NSW Cup, Crichton has had a career-best season that has seen him become one of the best forwards of the competition and earn a mega contract extension to remain at the Roosters.
“The Brad Fittler Medal is a tremendous occasion as it represents a chance for us to acknowledge the performances of our players, officials and referees from the 2024 season,” NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden said.
“The awards stretch from the vital contributions our volunteers make at grassroots level to the hard work our elite players put in for our representative competitions.
“I congratulate all the winners tonight and wish those clubs still involved with finals the very best of luck over the coming month.”
In the female category, Gold Coast Titans NRLW winger Jaime Chapman claimed the NSW Women's State of Origin Player of the Year award, while Yasmin Clydsdale took home the Sky Blues award.
