Warriors name Mannering Lion Red player of the year

Simon Mannering picked up the premier accolade when he was named the Lion Red Player of the Year at the Vodafone Warriors' annual awards dinner at the Sky City Convention Centre tonight.

The 22-year-old second rower, one of three players to appear for the club in all 25 NRL games so far, beat four other nominees - hooker Ian Henderson, loose forward Micheal Luck, centre Brent Tate and winger Manu Vatuvei - for the title.

The durable Mannering hasn't missed a match for the Vodafone Warriors since making a belated start to their 2006 campaign against the Bulldogs on April 30 that year.
This Friday night he'll make his 68th consecutive NRL appearance, his 75th in all.

He hasn't missed a match for New Zealand during that period either putting together a run of 12 test appearances as well as a non-test match in Greymouth, giving him a tally of 81 straight games for club and country.

Tonight he earned his award on the strength of consistently outstanding performances for the Vodafone Warriors in 2008.

With 15 tries in 15 matches, Vatuvei picked up the Vodafone One Tribe Player of the Year, as voted for on a weekly basis by One Tribe members.

Vatuvei was also named the Puma Club Person of the Year for his overall contribution to the club both on and off the field. Luck, who won the award the two previous years, was again a nominee as was Captain Steve Price. Vatuvei also becomes the Vodafone Warriors One Community ambassador, taking over from Luck.

Luck is, however, in line for the NRL's premier community award the Ken Stephen Medal, awarded to the player who makes the most outstanding contribution to the community through rugby league. Last year Ruben Wiki became the first Vodafone Warriors player to win the prestigious medal.

In the other key award of the night, Ben Matulino, still only 19, beat winger Aidan Kirk and second rower-centre Sonny Fai for the Vodafone Young NRL Player of the Year title.
Another feature of the night was the farewell to departing players Wiki, Logan Swann, Wairangi Koopu, Ryan Shortland and Michael Crockett.

Asotasi receives NZRL's premier accolade at awards dinner
Sun December 2, 2007
by NZRL
First-year Kiwi captain Roy Asotasi won the Chrisco Player of the Year accolade at the New Zealand Rugby League's annual awards dinner tonight.

Asotasi (25), one of only four players to appear in each of the Kiwis' six tests this year, was appearing in just his 17th international when he captained his country for the first time in the Anzac Test against Australia in Brisbane.

His predecessor Ruben Wiki had played in 37 tests before captaining the Kiwis in the last 18 of his world record 55 internationals.

Asotasi also co-captained South Sydney in his first season with the club after five years with the Bulldogs. Consistently one of the Kiwis' hardest-working forwards, he made a phenomenal 44 tackles in the 14-20 first test loss to Great Britain in Huddersfield on October 27.

He had to wait until his sixth test as captain and the last of the year to experience leading New Zealand to victory. In the 22-14 win against France in Paris he was on the field for all but nine minutes of the match. Asotasi has now played 22 tests.

He was one of three nominees for the premier award. Also in contention were Warriors utility Simon Mannering, another to play in every test this year, and rookie international fullback Sam Perrett (Sydney Roosters).

Mannering (21), used in the centres in the Anzac Test, played in the back row in the next five internationals as he boosted his number of tests to 11.

Perrett (22), who appeared at wing, centre and fullback during the NRL season, was in the No 1 jersey for each of the Kiwis' four tests against Great Britain and France.

Perrett was one of an astonishing total of 13 test debutants during the year as a big injury toll and unavailability forced the national selectors to use 35 players in the six-test programme. It's unlikely New Zealand has fielded as many test players - and new internationals - in a year in its history (apart from the inaugural test against Wales in 1908).

Apart from Asotasi and Mannering, the other two players to appear in every test were hooker Dene Halatau (Wests Tigers) and prop Sam Rapira (Vodafone Warriors).

After his outstanding efforts, Perrett won the ISC Rookie of the Year award.

The full list of awards winners was:

Lion Foundation Junior Player of the Year: Ben Matulino (Wellington).

Southern Trust Referee of the Year: Leon Williamson (Auckland).

Bartercard Cup Coach of the Year: Brent Gemmell (Auckland Lions).

Bartercard Cup Player of the Year: Kelvin Wright (Auckland Lions).

Women's Player of the Year: Honey Hireme (Papakura).

Mad Butcher Personality of the Year: Steve Price (Vodafone Warriors).

ISC Rookie of the Year: Sam Perrett (Sydney Roosters).

Chrisco Player of the Year Nominees: Roy Asotasi (South Sydney), Simon Mannering (Vodafone Warriors); Sam Perrett (Sydney Roosters). Winner: Asotasi.
