Manly lock Jake Trbojevic has won the Sea Eagles’ top honour for the third time in five NRL seasons.
Coach Des Hasler presented Trbojevic with the Roy Bull best-and-fairest award for 2019 at a ceremony on Sunday night at The Star in Sydney. Trbojevic also won in 2015 and 2018.
He joins former Eagles international forward Glenn Stewart (2007, ’08, ’11) as a three-time winner of the gong, named after Manly’s first international player.
Vice-captain Trbojevic also picked up the Gordon Willoughby Medallion for best player as voted by Manly members.
Second-rower Joel Thompson was a popular winner of the players’ player award for the second-consecutive year.
Goalkicking outside back Reuben Garrick capped off a superb season by taking out the Ken Arthurson rookie of the year award, leading try-scorer and point-scorer.
Manly captain and halfback Daly Cherry-Evans took home the Steve Menzies Medal for play of the year for his field goal in the round-19 golden-point win over Melbourne at AAMI Park.
