Full list of 2022 NRL Club Awards

The Kelly-Barnes Medal for Wests Tigers Player of the Year has gone to front-rower Joe Ofahengaue, just hours after it was announced that he’d signed a three-year extension at the Concord club.

Ofahengaue was one of the club’s most consistent players in a disappointing season, and one of only two Tigers players to take the field in every game of the season. It’s just his second season at the club since moving from Brisbane.

Meanwhile Daine Laurie, who shared the top honour with Luke Brooks last year, was voted by his teammates as the club’s Players’ Player for 2022 despite an injury-affected campaign.

The club’s Rookie of the Year award went to 20-year-old Fonua Pole, who made his NRL debut in Round 16 and played every game after that.

Departing back-rower Luke Garner won the Wayne Pearce Community Award, while Tom Freebairn and Junior Pauga collected the top honours in the NSW Cup.

Meanwhile, Najvada George was named Player of the Year for the club’s Harvey Norman Women’s Premiership side after steering them to a thrilling one-point grand final win back in July.
