www.iasbet.com.au – Billy Slater has taken the highest honour in International Rugby League by being named the Rugby League International Federation’s inaugural player of the year last night.
A jubilant Slater could hardly contain his excitement in year that without a doubt, he claims, has been the best year of his life.
Despite losing a second Grand Final in three years, Slater played a starring role in the State of Origin , displayed some of the most consistent club level form in the NRL and most importantly, became the proud father of a baby boy.
Slater has often been regarded as one of those player’s fans either love or hate with his cheeky attitude, lightening turn of foot and incredible ball skills.
However, although he missed out on the Dally M due to suspension, he is now the undisputed best player in the world and that is something be respected regardless of personal opinion.
Australian players made up the bulk of the International Team of the Year with just one kiwi in the run on squad and a handful of poms.
Premiership winning Manly Coach Des Hasler took out International Coach of the Year in just his third season coaching the maroon and whites from the Northern beaches.
Isreal Folau added to his growing list of accolades by making the starting line up after being named rookie of the year and becoming the youngest ever to play for Australia, scoring two tries in a dream debut against New Zealand earlier this year.
