Re: 2019 Fans' Choice Player of the Year

Josh Papalii wins the 2019 Canberra Raiders Fans' Choice Player of the Year Award

Image

Josh Papalii is the winner of the Canberra Raiders Fans' Choice Award for 2019.

The award was decided in the final round of the season, with Papalii taking man of the match honours in the clash with the Warriors - and overtaking Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad. It is the third time Papalii has won the Fans' Choice award - and he has now taken the title back-to-back, after winning in 2018. He also finished on top in 2016. No player has ever won the award three times in its history. As the Player of the Year, Papalii also takes out the Fans' Choice Forward of the Year Award.

Going into the final match of the regular season, only Papalii and Nicoll-Klokstad were still in contention for the award - but Nicoll-Klokstad was one of the players rested from the Round 25 match, after the Raiders' top four finish had been wrapped up... and a tough season for the young star.

Papalii took out man of the match honours in five matches - three in the final five rounds. He performed very strongly in the narrow losses to the Roosters and Rabbitohs in Rounds 9 and 10 - and followed with outstanding games against the Roosters and Storm in Round 21 and 22. He topped the 200 metres gained mark twice (against the Tigers in Round 18 and the Warriors in Round 25) - and has averaged more than 145 metres per game. He's delivered five tries, 27 offloads, 52 tackle breaks and averaged over 50 post contact metres per match. He's also made an average of 28 tackles a game - with a tackle efficiency rate of just under 94 per cent.

When Papalii won his first Fans' Choice Award in 2016, he was one of the premier back rowers in the competition. Having moved into the middle in 2018, he is now one of the premier props in the league. In fact, in August, Australian coach Mal Meninga described him as "the best front rower in the game".

Papalii was outstanding for the Queensland Maroons in this year's 2019 Origin series and is surely favoured to take back a Kangaroos jersey - should he want selection in the Australian team, rather than Samoa, the island nation he represented in the 2017 World Cup.

Papalii recently admitted he wasn't sure about the move to the middle, but now he loves it.

"There's so many good props out there," he said. It's only my first year of playing in the front row for a full season and it's one I have enjoyed so far. Taking those kick-off carries is something I don't like. I really found it hard when Ricky chucked me in the front row for the first time ever. I don't mind it now, it's something I enjoy."

English recruit John Bateman finished as runner up for Forward of the Year - in his first stellar year in the NRL. He was in the running for the Player of the Year until the penultimate round, having been named by the fans as man of the match five times in 2019.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, also in his first year with the Green Machine, has taken the Fans' Choice Back of the Year Award. Many Raiders fans were wondering who Nicoll-Klokstand when he arrived at the club from the Warriors, just before the pre-season trials commenced. With Jack Wighton moving from fullback to five eighth, he grabbed the No. 1 jersey and never let it go. The fans chose Nicoll-Klokstad as man of the match six times this year, but he didn't receive as many minor points as Papalii.

Nicoll-Klokstad couldn't get a regular first grade start with the Warriors. But in 2019, he's in the top five players in the NRL for running metres gained and the No. 1 player for kick return metres. He's in the top 10 players for tackle breaks. He's been an absolute revelation - and as a young player, still has plenty of upside, and opportunity to further develop his ball playing skills.

He came to the club on a bargain basement contract, but was recently rewarded with a contract extension and upgrade. He and his young family couldn't be happier about remaining long term in Canberra.

"To be able to call Canberra home for the next four years, the boys the community in general has made my time here so enjoyable here, so I'm stoked," he said.

Jack Wighton finished as runner up for Back of the Year, having made a great success of his move to five eighth - and performing so strongly, he made his Origin debut for the New South Wales Blues.

The Canberra Raiders Fans' Choice Player of the Year has been awarded since 2004, with the inaugural winner being Ruben Wiki. Other winners have included Alan Tongue, Terry Campese, Shaun Fensom, Jarrod Croker, Josh Hodgson, Jordan Rapana and Nick Cotric. The award, sponsored by The Greenhouse Canberra Raiders supporters site (TheGH.com.au), is voted on by the fans on line, who give 3-2-1 points to the best players each week. The Player of the Year receives a crystal trophy from The Greenhouse.
