Which two win your vote?
THE CONTENDERS
Martin Gately - Cowra Eagles
Gately has size on his side.
The Irishman likes to run the ball and his fitness means he doesn’t stop all game.
He’s also a tough customer and isn’t intimidated by anyone.
Toby Key - CSU Bathurst
One of the best line-out jumpers in the competition.
This man rarely loses in the air.
He also boasts plenty of speed and has no fear when it comes to making the big tackles for the students.
Chris Miller - Cowra Eagles
Cowra’s best player this season.
Standing at 190cm tall, he is Cowra’s number one line-out jumper.
He had a shoulder reconstruction last year and is making the most of being back on the paddock this season.
He is a fantastic all-round player for Cowra, getting through a mountain of work in attack and defence.
Lachie McCutcheon - Narromine Gorillas
He has experience to burn having played for the NSW Country Cockatoos.
This helps him remain calm under pressure, a handy talent to have this season for the struggling Gorillas.
He also reads the game well and has fantastic all-round skills.
Chris Barrett - Orange City Lions
The quiet achiever of the Lions.
Barrett is clinical in the air as a reliable line-out option, but he also gets through a mountain of work on the ground.
He can truck the ball forward with the best of them and is willing to take on multiple defenders.
