I think that might be his junior club, going off the old pie ads

2024 BRAD FITTLER MEDAL FULL LIST OF AWARD WINNERS
Leagues Clubs Australia Ron Massey Cup Player of the Year: Craig Garvey (Glebe Dirty Reds)
Sydney Shield Player of the Year: Jake Watmough (Manly Leagues)

Angus Crichton claims Brad Fittler Medal

Angus Crichton has tonight claimed his first Brad Fittler Medal following a remarkable season which saw him start off in The Knock-On Effect NSW Cup before recapturing his best form to walk away with a State of Origin series win.

How were the RMC and Shield awards assessed?

How were the RMC and Shield awards assessed?

My guess would be each club would nominate a player and then someone at the NSWRL would choose the winner. It is possible that the decision maker didnt actually watch any games.

 

[10$ Ferret]

While I am sure there are several players that could have won the award, Garvey was more than a worthy winner of the RM award. He has played very well all season and Glebe missed him when he wasn't there.
I would not be surprised if the Referees had some say,

No criticism of Garvey, he certainly has been good in the 2 semis, but it seems strange that the SS award did not go to a player from one of the 6 teams that finished above Manly in the table.

 

[rightleftin]

Here are some SS players that might have been considered:

Neville Verevakabau, Matt Curl and Peni Leveleve of Ryde Eastwood, Jayden Turara and Livai Saukuru of Mounties, Sadee Sub Laban of St Marys, and Noah Nailagoliva, Soakimi Fakaua and Donovan Boney of Brothers.

I havent seen a lot of Wenty but in those games they have won through consistent team efforts. Austin Quast had a few stand outs early but that resulted in his playing most of the season in RMC.

 

[earl park riot]

All teams nominated a player of the match (one from their club and one from their opponents) for each regular season round. Not sure how the calculations were done from there, but in RMC, it would be difficult to find a better player than Craig Garvey in 2024.

Now I know the system, I can understand the results. For my money Saints McCann Livingston was the standout in SS - a powerful runner both in the middle or on an edge, 12 trys for the season.
