Full list of 2022 NRL Club Awards

After a career-best season despite squad disruptions, Penrith Panthers fullback Dylan Edwards has been awarded the club’s Merv Cartwright medal as Player of the Year.

The titular award wasn’t Edwards’ only success of the night, with the livewire custodian also claiming the club’s Members’ Player of the Year title.

Edwards led the league in metres per game at the end of the regular season, averaging 218 an outing. He also finished second in overall metres and in the top ten for tackle-breaks, taking a more involved role in on-field leadership as injuries and suspensions to key personnel, as well as the Origin period, saw the team barely put a foot wrong.
