Page wins Courier Mail Medal
Luke Page was tonight recognised as the Intrust Super Cups best and fairest player after receiving the Courier-Mail Medal at the QRLs Gala Awards dinner. See the QRL TV interview.
The emerging representative forward tallied 29 points, collecting the maximum three points in the final round to edge out Norths Devils playmaker Todd Murphy (26).
PNG skipper Israel Eliab (24), Ipswich captain Keiron Lander (21), Mackay hooker Anthony Mitchell (19) and Northern Prides Manly bound back-rower Blake Leary (19) were the other leading contenders.
Page commenced the Intrust Super Cup season with the Burleigh Bears, but went on to don the black and white of Souths Logan after signing mid-season with the Magpies NRL affiliate Canberra.
The award caps a breakthrough season for Page, who represented the Queensland Residents at Suncorp Stadium in July.
The Courier-Mail Medal is judged by the referees who allocate votes on a 3-2-1 basis after each Intrust Super Cup match.
Recent recipients of the prestigious award include Daly Cherry-Evans (2010, Sunshine Coast), Javarn White (2011, Norths), Luke Capewell (2012, Redcliffe) and Cody Walker (2013, Easts).
* The XXXX Peoples Choice Award was won by Papua New Guinea Hunters enforcer Willie Minoga.
Minoga was a clear-cut favourite amongst fans, receiving nearly 40 percent of the total votes. Peter Gubb (Wynnum Manly Seagulls) and Davin Crampton (Northern Pride) polled strongly as well.
Minogas teammate Garry Lo was the Rookie of the Year for his sizzling efforts on the wing.
Wynnum Manlys Jon Buchanan was the Coach of the Year, while the Prides Blake Leary received the Representative Player of the Year.
