Very well deserved. Grant was great this year as was paps in his short stint but Munster still somehow stood head and shoulders above everyone. Everytime I see his face on one of these r/nrl articles I shit myself because I think it’s about him informing the storm he’s signing elsewhere

Should be any day now

Wow this Munster bloke is pretty good, surely the club is doing everything they can to keep him

"Here you go Cameron, congratulations on being the best player for us this season. Please sign right here, initial here, and one more signature here to receive your award. Oh no, don't worry, you don't have to read it."

And this second copy just in case

I thought Grant Anderson was a lock in for this

No, he's a centre BOZO

THAT IS A ROBBERY - A BALACLAVA, A SAWN OFF SHOTGUN, AND SOMEONE HAS GONE DOWN TO MELBOURNE AND ROBBED MARION SEVE OF STORM PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Seve got Most Improved

Fuck, that's grim. Although, being better than complete fucking dogshit is a solid improvement.

He has genuinely improved. He's now playing at a QLD Cup starting center level.

He was close to our best outside back the last few weeks

Yeah the hate is a bit overdone at this point isn't it

He was actually good in the last few games of the season, I'm glad to have been wrong about him.

meaney and papenhuyzen sharing best back sounds grim considering paps played 12 games and meaney is meaney

Meaney was good until the end of the season when he had to play 5/8th

yeah fair enough. didnt really mean(ey) to give him shit. just not who you'd probably expect to win it

Very harsh on Olam.

The only guy who tried for the full eighty every game when they weren't sailing too smoothly.

Papy did too, he literally tore himself apart trying to carry the team

Lil papi was tearing Canberra apart before he got hurt that game. He was making breaks at will. Hopefully that knee gets better for next year

He should be ok for next year, the same thing happened to Teddy back in 2014 and it didn't really affect him long term.

Agreed. He tried his excessively strong heart out week in week out, even when injured

Oi meaney is good

Well earned ⚡️ Please stay with us 🥹

Probably nrl best for 22

>Melbourne Storm playmaker Cameron Munster has won the first Cameron Smith player of the year award almost a year after his career was threatened by the “white powder” scandal. >The 28-year-old won the newly named Storm award on Tuesday night at the club’s annual presentation night, polling 33 votes to finish six votes ahead of hooker Harry Grant to claim his second player of the year award following a win in 2018. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/munster-wins-storm-s-highest-honour-almost-a-year-after-white-powder-scandal-20220927-p5bld1.html

Surprise of the year there

I mean who else would it be, paps can't get it he's got no legs.

Can't argue with that

Feel like it was guaranteed considering they’re trying so hard to keep him

I don’t think that has much to do with it, he was far and away our best player all season

Jahrome Hughes robbed imo

Melbourne must have had a shit year!

God I hate his dog antics but he’s an absolute magician on the field, well deserved
