The shortlist for the 2024 St Helens has been announced, with a total of six players in the running for the prestigious award.
The nominees are:
- James Roby
- Jack Welsby
- Jonny Lomax
- Kevin Naiqama
- Alex Walmsley
- Will Hopoate
The winner of the award will be announced at the St Helens Annual Awards Dinner on 24th November 2023. The award is voted for by the players, coaches and staff at the club, and is given to the player who has made the most outstanding contribution to the team over the course of the season.
Last year's winner was James Roby, who had a stellar season in which he led the team to victory in the Super League Grand Final. Roby is the current favourite to win the award again this year, but he will face stiff competition from the other nominees.
Jack Welsby is another strong contender for the award. The young fullback has had a breakout season in 2023, and has been one of the most consistent performers for St Helens. He is a key member of the team, and has played a major role in their success this year.
Jonny Lomax is another player who has been in impressive form for St Helens in 2023. The centre has scored a number of important tries for the team, and has been a key part of their attacking threat. He is a dangerous runner with the ball, and is always a threat to the opposition.
Kevin Naiqama is a new signing for St Helens in 2023, but he has quickly become a fan favourite. The winger has scored a number of tries for the team, and has shown his versatility by playing in a number of positions. He is a powerful runner with the ball, and is also a good defender.
Alex Walmsley is one of the most experienced players in the St Helens team. The prop forward is a mainstay of the pack, and is one of the most physical players in the league. He is a key part of the team's defence, and is also a good ball carrier.
Will Hopoate is another new signing for St Helens in 2023. The centre has a wealth of experience in the NRL, and has quickly become a key part of the team. He is a good ball carrier, and is also a dangerous runner with the ball. He is a valuable addition to the team, and will be looking to make a big contribution in the remaining games of the season.
The winner of the St Helens award will be announced at the club's Annual Awards Dinner on 24th November 2023. The award is a prestigious one, and is given to the player who has made the most outstanding contribution to the team over the course of the season.
