From the moment I stepped out of my car and entered the SkyCity Grand Hotel the night rocked. There was a red carpet treatment and when you got upstairs there were player banners hanging from the ceiling, giving the whole place a wow factor. You used to hang about outside in the lobby but this year it was straight into a room to mix and mingle, and the awards themselves were presented in cinema style, with everyone seated. The food and atmosphere was a 10+ that’s for sure. You will know by now that Ben Matulino was named player of the year for the second time in four years, joining Steve Price (2006-07) and Simon Mannering (2008, 2011, 2013 and 2014) as the only other players who have won more than once. The rookie of the year went to Tuimoala Lolohea, after a season where he finished with 11 tries including a double in the final match against the Dogs. Also announced were the two premier awards for the club’s New South Wales Cup side, with prop John Palavi winning player of the year and halfback Mason Linothe the rookie award. The awards began with the club’s de- parting players being acknowledged, and a number of milestones marked, including Shaun Johnson getting his 100-game ring, and a special presenta- tion to Manu Vatuvei for being the first player in NRL history to score 10 tries or more in 10 consecutive seasons.
