Full list of 2022 NRL Club Awards

Melbourne Storm five-eighth Cameron Munster has become the first winner of the Cameron Smith Player of the Year award, recognised as the club’s best in 2022.

It’s the first year the award has been given since it was named in honour of the club’s greatest icon, who himself won the award a record eight times during his record-setting career.

Munster polled 33 points from team mates and coaching staff in the final count, finishing six ahead of hooker Harry Grant. He completed a unique double by also claiming the Members’ Player of the Year award.

Grant didn’t walk away empty handed, claiming the club’s Forward of the Year award. The Back of the Year award was shared by Nick Meaney and Ryan Papenhuyzen – a remarkable feat for the custodian given he played just 12 games this year.

Tyran Wishart was named the Billy Slater Rookie of the Year after playing a number of positions in 15 first grade appearances, while centre Marion Seve won the Most Improved award.

A Victorian junior, Sua Fa’alogo took home the Cooper Cronk Feeder Club Player of the Year award after an excellent season with both the Victoria Thunderbolts and Sunshine Coast Falcons.

Young dummy-half Cole Geyer claimed the Darren Bell Medal as the club’s best under-21 player.
