"He was our most consistent performer over the three games and I'm happy to see his efforts being recognised."

On a night that recognised the achievements of players across all NSWRL teams and competitions, as well as the contributions of referees and club officials, ​Wests Tigers prop Aaron Woods received the People's Choice Award after stepping up in the absence of several veteran forwards.

Tigers captain Robbie Farah, the NSW vice-captain, was presented with the True Blue Award for displaying qualities upon which the team culture is built. Despite missing the third and decisive game with a broken hand, the hooker played a key role during the campaign.

"Robbie has a special kind of resilience and toughness," Daley said. "He played the majority of game one under duress and was an important member within the squad in the lead-up to game three."

The Origin stars shared the stage with some of the state's rising talent, with the Newcastle Knights' Tom Starling (SG Ball) and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks' Fine Kula (Harold Matthews) winning the major junior rep awards for the 2015 season.
