Jayden Brailey

Speaking of players you may not expect to win a certain award here is Jayden Brailey.

Brailey has already proven he can be the best player in a league, winning the Dally M Holden Cup Player of the Year in 2016. He has also been a surprisingly good replacement for Cronulla Sharks retiree Michael Ennis so far.





Before Brailey’s injury, the Sharks were doing well, looking like a main stay in the Top 4.

Since his injury though they have been dipping out of form. Obviously, he isn’t the whole reason but it is evident he is missed.

He could become the NRL’s Dally M medal winner one day by doing his job at hooker but also stand out more by improving his defence and controlling more plays by actually setting up the halves.
