Not sure how these will work this year but, assuming all the normal awards are given, who are our predictions to claim them?

I'm going with:

Player of the year - Welch or Papenhuyzen.

Forward of the year - Welch or Cam Smith (assuming he plays from this week)

Back of the year - Papenhuyzen or Hughes

Rookie - Hynes (I believe he qualifies still)

Most Improved - Fa'asuamealuai

I doubt they'll give the award for best feeder club player.

Yes, Pole. I would check your junk folder before calling the club. Sometimes emails like that end up in the junk folder.
