Brisbane Broncos

Canberra Raiders

New Canberra Raiders skipper Joseph Tapine has earned his third straight Meninga Medal, polling 22 votes ahead of the club's second-best player of the 2024 NRL season.

The New Zealand international has been a staple of the club's forward pack since arriving from the Newcastle Knights in 2016 and has been a dominant force on both ends of the field.

In 24 appearances this season, Tapine made 772 total tackles, averaged 166 running metres per match and made 52 tackle busts and 1640.9 post-contact metres when running the ball.

Narrowly missing out on the top-eight, the Raiders exceeded expectations this season after many expected to see them at the bottom of the table following the departures of several players in 2023 including Jarod Croker and Jack Wighton.

Canterbury Bulldogs

Barnstorming through the opposition's defence week in and week out, second-rower Viliame Kikau has earned the prestigious Dr George Peponis Medal as they get set to compete in their first NRL Finals series in eight seasons.

The 29-year-old has started in 22 matches this season where he has been a dominant force on both ends of the field. This has seen allowed him to score four tries, make ten line-breaks and seven line-break assists and average 102 running metres per match.

The Bulldogs have had an extraordinary season that saw them reach sixth place on the ladder and nearly enter the top-four. Led by Cameron Ciraldo and Stephen Crichton, the club has boasted the best defence in the competition.

Cronulla Sharks

Yet to be named.

Gold Coast Titans

While many wouldn't have thought that he would play much this season due to the talent of the squad, Keano Kini showcased a career-best season on his way to earning his maiden Paul Broughton Medal.

Throughout the season, Kini averaged 212 running metres per match, scored six tries, provided seven try assists and made 66 tackle busts and ten line-breaks - the youngster is aiming to make his international debut at the end of the year with the New Zealand Kiwis.

Des Hasler's first season in charge of the Titans was disappointing, as it was marred by injuries. Skipper Tino Fa'asuamaleaui was ruled out for the season, and teammates David Fifita, AJ Brimson, and Jayden Campbell all spent long stints on the sidelines.

Manly Sea Eagles

Missing out on a significant chunk of matches last season, fullback and marquee star Tom Trbojevic has taken home the prestigious Roy Bull Best and Fairest award after a sensational season and will prepare to return to the team for their Week 1 Finals match against the Canterbury Bulldogs on Sunday.

Scoring 17 tries in 18 matches, Trbojevic becomes the fourth player in the club's history to win the award three times following Glenn Stewart, Jake Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans - the fullback won the award in 2016 and 2021.

The Manly Sea Eagles have had another great season, reaching seventh place on the ladder. They would have gotten further if it wasn't for injuries, suspensions, or State of Origin responsibilities.

Newcastle Knights

The most consistent member of the Knights this season, centre Dane Gagai has been awarded the Danny Buderus Medal for the first time in his nine years at the club, which was a defining year for the Origin representative.

This season, Gagai clinched eight tries, made 143 tackle busts and averaged 147 running metres per match in 22 matches as Kalyn Ponga and Bradman Best spent a significant chunk of time on the sidelines with injury.

Sneaking into the top-eight, the Knights unfortunately weren't able to get past the opening week of the 2024 NRL Final being defeated by the North Queensland Cowboys.

New Zealand Warriors

After earning his Origin debut for the NSW Blues, Mitchell Barnett ended his incredible season by being awarded the Simon Mannering Medal.

While the club may have struggled to find consistency throughout the season, this couldn't be said for Barnett who arguably had his best season to date in his career.

This saw him average 15 runs, 149 running metres and 32 tackles a match as he led the forward pack and had a career-best in post-contact metres, tackle busts and tackles efficiency rate.

It was a disappointing season for the Warriors as they failed to make the 2024 NRL Finals after finishing in the top-four last season. They also farewelled club legend and 2023 Simon Mannering Medal winner Shaun Johnson, who decided to hang up the boots on his playing career.

Parramatta Eels

Confirmed to depart the Parramatta Eels, NSW Blues front-rower Reagan Campbell-Gillard has earned the Ken Thronett Medal for being the club's Player of the Year in his final season.

Campbell-Gillard's season started slowly but continued to pick up once the season got going and played a crucial role in not finishing with the wooden spoon.

The dual international for Australia and Fiji scored ten points, made 45 tackle busts and 1142.8 post-contact metres, provided 11 offloads and ran 124 metres per match to go along with 663 total tackles.

After reaching the Grand Final in 2022, the Eels' struggles continued this season as they found themselves changing head coaches and finishing in second-last place on the NRL ladder.

Penrith Panthers

Yet to be named.

South Sydney Rabbitohs

Jack Wighton has earned the prestigious George Piggins Medal for being the club's Player of the Year in his maiden season at the club after joining them in the off-season from the Canberra Raiders.

One of the few players at the Rabbitohs not to suffer a serious injury this season or miss too many matches, Wighton secured six tries, five try assists, ten line-break assists and average 122 running metres per game in 21 outings this year.

Touted as a final favourite, the Rabbitohs had one of their worst seasons in recent memory, which saw coach Jason Demetriou axed.

However, their poor result was marked by injuries to several star players - at one point, they had to borrow players from their QLD Cup feeder team because they didn't have enough available players on their roster.

Wighton was also awarded the Jack Rayner Award for being the Players' Player of the Year. The ex-Raider will be looking to continue this form heading into next season, when the club will be under the guidance of a new coach and receive several players returning from injury.

Meanwhile, rookie Jye Gray, NSW Blues lock Cameron Murray, Origin forward Jai Arrow, and Ben Lovett were also among the award-winners out of the top squad.

St George Illawarra Dragons

Re-called to the QLD Maroons team for the 2024 State of Origin series, second-rower Jaydn Su'a has earned the prestigious Dragons Medal for being the club's Player of the Year.

Su'a had an outstanding year that saw him become one of the best edge forwards in the competition. In 22 matches, he scored nine tries, made three line-breaks, made 604 tackles and averaged an impressive 117 running metres per match.

Under the guidance of Shane Flanagan, the Dragons finished two points away from the top-eight and looked like they were going to clinch a 2024 NRL Finals spot for most of the season. They will be looking to go further up the ladder in Flanagan's second season in charge.

As multiple players depart the Dragons, centre Hayden Buchanan is a player to watch and is coming off an extraordinary season in the SG Ball Cup, where he won the Player of the Year award. Buchanan is likely to see his name featured on the team list sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile, Jesse Marschke, Tom Eisenhuth and departing NSW Blues winger Zac Lomax were also among the award-winners out of the top squad.
