TUGUN: KEANU TE KIRI WILL BE CROWNED RLGC PLAYER OF THE YEAR

TE Kiri’s playmaking abilities are well known around rugby league circles on the Gold Coast and the fiveeighth could be the matchwinner the Seahawks need to turn the tables on Burleigh from their Round 1 result.

Tugun have added an influx of quality over the summer; expect that to unleash Te Kiri’s A-game.

For the record, ex-Tigers fullback Beau Cordtz won the player of the year award – based on 3-2-1 referee votes – last year.
