Brumbies skipper Allan Alaalatoa wins Players’ Player

Brumbies captain Allan Alaalatoa has won his third Brett Robinson Players’ Player of the Year Award, joining George Smith as just the second to win the coveted award more than twice.

Alaalatoa led the Brumbies to the Super Rugby Pacific semi finals this year, inspiring teammates with his commitment and tenacity, on and off the field.

Super W star and Japanese international centre Mana Furuta was selected for the Helen Taylor Award by her teammates, after an outstanding maiden season in Brumbies colours.

Andy Muirhead was honoured with the Christian Lealiifano Spirit of the Brumbies award for his commitment to the values and ethos of the club, while departing Brumbies prop Scott Sio’s tenure was recognised with the Garry ‘Quinzo’ Quinlivan services to rugby award.

Pete Samu was selected as the Brumbies best forward in 2022, with Nic White taking home the best back award.

Lock Tom Hooper claimed two awards on the night, the Shawn Mackay Award for Most Outstanding Young Talent and Members’ Choice Player of the Year.

Grace Kemp took home the Members’ Super W Player of the Year, with livewire winger Jemima McCalman being named as the Super W Most Outstanding Young Talent.

Tuggeranong Vikings prop Remsy Lemisio’s selection for the Junior Wallabies was recognised with the Graham Gordon Memorial Trophy for the ACT Best and Fairest U’20’s Player of the year.
