The RLPA has revealed the List of Contenders for The Players’ Champion 2020 with Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Clint Gutherson, Junior Paulo and Maika Sivo the four Blue & Gold players eligible for the prestigious award.
The RLPA has partnered with Nine this year, with winners of both the NRL and NRLW award to be announced live on Grand Final day (October 25).
The List of Contenders is a shortlist of four players from each club that are nominated to be eligible for The Players’ Champion (NRL) and Players’ 13 Dream Team voting.
RLPA Delegates and Player Leaders at each Club put forward the three best players from their own team. An RLPA Working Group nominates a fourth player to round out the nomination process.
In total, 64 players (four from each team) are eligible to receive votes in the end of season poll.
