David Nofoaluma named 2020 NRL Players’ Player

Wests Tigers winger David Nofoaluma has been voted by his teammates as the club’s Players’ Player of the Year at tonight’s end-of-season Presentation Night.

One of just three players to feature in every game for Wests Tigers throughout the 2020 season, Nofoaluma took out the award narrowly from Harry Grant, Josh Aloiai and Benji Marshall, who also polled well in voting done by the players.

The Campbelltown junior delivered his best individual season since debuting for the club back in 2013, with a personal best 17 tries in 20 matches — finishing as the club’s leading try-scorer and the third highest try-scorer across the NRL.

Having surpassed Pat Richards in 2019 as the club’s highest-scoring winger, Nofoaluma’s 17 tries in 2020 have him third on the all-time top try-scoring list, with his 74 career tries for the club narrowly trailing departing duo Chris Lawrence and Benji Marshall (84 tries each).

Wests Tigers would like to congratulate David on his award!
