C’mon Seagulls supporters, let’s get behind the popular Fijian international prop Ben Nakabuwai in the Queensland Rugby League’s XXXX People’s Choice Award.
The award is open for voting by fans to pick the most popular player in the Intrust Super Cup.
The 14 clubs have each nominated a key player from their 2017 team, with the focus now shifting to the competition’s passionate fans to select their favourite.
The player with the most votes will be announced as the XXXX People’s Choice recipient at the annual QRL awards dinner on August 30 at the Royal International Convention Centre.
Fans who register their vote will go into the random draw to win a XXXX Prize Pack valued at $500 (you must be over 18 to be eligible for this prize).
The Titans-contracted Nakabuwai, who played for Fiji in the Test match against PNG in May, has been a model representative for the Seagulls and Titans this season, on and off the field.
He plays hard and fair, does plenty of community work and is popular with teammates and fans.
And that’s no surprise when the son of a pioneering Fijian rugby league international players lists one of league’s greatest citizens, Petero Civoniceva, as his role model.
“Ben has been a real asset to the club with his attitude on and off the field; he gives his all consistently and is popular with all who have come in contact with him,” said Seagulls CEO Scott Clark.
“He has been just outside of NRL selection this season as the Titans have been strong up front in the forwards but you never get less than 100 per cent when he puts on the black and white jersey.
“It would be great for the club’s supporters to recognise him.”
