Parramatta Eels fullback Clinton Gutherson has claimed the Provan Summons Peoples Choice Medal whilst forward Nathan Brown has claimed the Tackle of the Year at last night’s Dally M Medal at The Star Event Centre.
Gutherson claimed the prestigious award as voted by the public for the best NRL player in the season.
Brown claimed his award for a tackle on Sydney Roosters forward Dylan Napa in Round 10 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
Eels Head Coach Brad Arthur was a finalist for the Coach of the Year whilst Blue & Gold co-captain Tim Mannah was also a finalist for Captain of the Year. Storm Coach Craig Bellamy and Storm captain Cameron Smith were awarded these respectively.
Smith also claimed the top gong on the night, the Dally M Medal, his second in his career – 11 years after his first.
Congratulations to all the award winners on the night!
