NRL Readers' Poll - Results (Part One)

August 3rd 2008 10:33
Category: Opinion


Here are the results for the inaugural NRL Readers' Poll!

Melbourne Storm star Greg Inglis took out the award for best player in the NRL. He was also voted top centre. Remarkably Petero Civoniceva and Steve Price tied for best prop, while Michael Hagan received the unwanted accolade of worst coach in the competition.

A big thanks to the 41 people who took the survey. Stay tuned, the results for part two of the poll will be released in the coming days.
