In Cameron Greenhalgh's under-18 side, Cowra’s Rick Nobes took out the players’ player gong while Blayney’s gun fullback Lachlan Farr shared the Rams’ best and fairest award with Forbes centre Mitch Andrews.

All three players were instrumental in guiding the undefeated Rams to the final, where they ultimately lost 44-10 to a rampant Bidgee Bulls side.

“Rick, he was one of those guys everyone wanted to play with,” Greenhalgh said.

“Being a smaller body in the middle of the field, he always put his body on the line and I think a lot of the boys respected that.

“(Farr and Andrews) two big tall bodies that put a lot of pressure on other teams. 

“(Bidgee) did their homework on both of them in the final and shut them down … but they were awesome for us throughout the entire competition.”

Gun Orange CYMS backrower Hudson Spicer has capped a sensational representative season with the Western Rams’ under-16 players’ player gong.

Spicer was instrumental in leading Jamie Szczerbanik’s Western outfit undefeated through this year’s Country Championship, before they were dramatically beaten in the final by the Greater Northern Tigers 16-12 in Tamworth.

He was rewarded for his efforts at the Molong RSL on Saturday night and, along with gun prop Matt Nicholson, who was deemed the side’s best and fairest, earned the praise of Szczerbanik.
