The best of 2009

For LastTackle.com:

Coach of the Year: Nathan Brown.
He’s made an impact at the Galpharm only matched in recent times by fellow-countryman Tony Smith. For the first time in decades, the Giants look capable of mounting a serious challenge for silverware.

Player of the Year: Brett Hodgson.
Like many before him, he arrived in the country with great things expected of him. Few have lived up to the hype as emphatically as the former Wests Tigers man though.

Young Player of the Year: Kyle Eastmond.
Many questioned the wisdom of allowing the tallismanic Sean Long to leave Knowsley Road. Question answered.

Club of the Year: Leeds Rhinos.
Three Super League grand final wins on the bounce, the Rhinos have re-written the history books and cemented their position as Britain’s premier rugby league team.

Team of the Year:
1. Brett Hodgson
2. Ryan Halll
3. George Carmont
4. Keith Senior
5. Peter Fox
6. Sam Tomkins
7. Kyle Eastmond
8. James Graham
9. Scott Moore
10. Adrian Morley
11. Ben Galea
12. Sam Burgess
13. Kevin Sinfield
