Dyldam Parramatta Eels fullback Jarryd Hayne has been awarded the 2014 Brad Fittler Medal jointly with Ryan Hoffman for their efforts in the winning NSW Blues Origin side.
The Medal is awarded based on votes from teammates and coaching staff, including head coach Laurie Daley, but the Blues voters were unable to split Hayne and Hoffman's incredible efforts in this year's series.
Hayne also took home the inaugural Daily Telegraph People’s Choice Award at the gala dinner at Sydney's Curzon Hall.
Winger Bureta Faraimo was named the VB NSW Cup Player of the Year in just his first season since signing with the Eels, while another Blue and Gold player, Adam Campbell, was named KARI Indigenous Player of the Year.
