Agree, save that if Munster is player of the year, would he not also be Best Back ? I do agree Josh would be next in line.

Kenny having a cracking season.

Best back/forward goes to the next best behind the player of the year.

Mattpoet I pretty much agree with you. I reckon Dale Finucane might be pushing Cam and Kenny for best forward.

Kenny would also be a chance for most improved.

Does NAS's second part of the year put him close to best forward?

Had a quick look over his stats for the season and there were some impressive numbers.
GP 27 (equal most with C Smith and both Bromwich bros)
Tries 6 (most of any storm forward)
Missed Tackles 25 (fewer than J Bromwich 32, C Smith 31 and K Bromwich 29)
Running Metres 3133 (highest of any storm player)
Running Metres per game 116 (highest of any storm forward)
Offloads per game 1.4 (most of any storm player)
Errors 21 (same as C Smith but more than J Bromwich 12 and K Bromwich 9)
Penalties 11 (fewer than J Bromwich 19 & C Smith 18)
Tackle busts 55 (most of any storm forward)

If anyone is able to put up a final leaderboard please I would greatly appreciate it, thanks. The club didn't do it last year and it frustrated me not knowing who was runner up etc.

Finucane got POTY. Edged out Smithy by 1 point.
Congrats Dale, I wouldn’t have picked it...
