Full list of 2022 NRL Club Awards

In his first year at the club, Nicho Hynes has claimed the Porter-Gallen Medal as the Cronulla Sharks 2022 Player of the Year.

Hynes enjoyed a remarkable debut season in black, white and blue, earning call-ups to NSW and Australian train-on squads and guiding his new team to the second week of the NRL Finals. He missed just one game all year as the Sharks climbed all the way to second place on the ladder.

It wasn’t the only honour that Hynes claimed on the night, also taking home the Members’ Player of the Year and also taking home the club’s Sharks Have Heart Community award for his constant work and engagement with a number of the club’s community initiatives.

Hard-working back-rower Briton Nikora was named the Tommy Bishop Players’ Player after another excellent season in which he, like Hynes, missed just one game.

Nikora was one of five Sharks players in the final count for the night’s top honour, joined by Hynes, Toby Rudolf, Blayke Brailey and Cameron McInnes.

The club’s Steve Rogers Rookie of the Year award went to Lachlan Miller, who played seven NRL games this year and scored three tries.

Blayke Brailey took home the club’s Sharks Ironman award for 2022 after playing all 26 games of the season.

In Jersey Flegg, young gun Blake Hosking took home both the Greg Pierce Players’ Player and Gavin Miller Player of the Year awards after a remarkable individual campaign.

The club also farewelled a number of departing NRL veterans, including club icon Andrew Fifita and 300-gamer Aiden Tolman.
