Ethan Strange, meanwhile, capped off a stunning rise to clain the No.6 jersey in the Dally M Team of the Year.<\/p>\n
Strange was instrumental in the Raiders\u2019 run to claim the minor premiership and has emerged as one of the best young players in the NRL.<\/p>\n
He is partnered in the halves by Nathan Cleary. <\/p>\n
Roosters sensation Mark Nawaqanitawase was rewarded for his stellar rookie season with a place on the wing alongside Melbourne Storm star Xavier Coates.<\/p>\n
Warriors star Erin Clark beating Kangaroos captain Isaah Yeo to Lock of the Year was the boilover of the night and capped a stunning 12 months for the reborn forward.<\/p>\n
Having made his NRL debut for the Warriors back in 2017, Clark left the same year for a brief stint in Canberra but was back home to New Zealand by November. He resurfaced at the Titans in 2020 but did not nail a first grade role until switching to the middle forwards in 2023. <\/p>\n
After the Warriors picked him up this season on a three-year deal, he has surged into the ranks of the game\u2019s elite middles – capped by his dethroning of Yeo, a four-time Lock of the Year.<\/p>\n
