He came out of retirement to return to the club at the start of this season; and Brett Anderson’s dedication to the Northern Pride was honoured when he was awarded the club’s Intrust Super Cup Player of the Year.
The former skipper - who also took home the Best Back award - came back to help guide a side that was lacking in experience and made it count; with the Pride making it to the finals this season.
Prop forward Will Bugden was another key performer in season 2018; and his contributions were also acknowledged at the end-of-season awards when he took home both the Players’ Player and Members Player of the Year awards.
He led from the front for his side and his early form saw him selected in this year’s XXXX Queensland Residents side.
The Under 20 Hastings Deering Colts team also enjoyed a successful season, making it to Week 3 of the finals before being pipped for a place in the grand final by Townsville Blackhawks.
A number of players from the side made the move up to play in the Intrust Super Cup this season; including Rookie of the Year winner Jack Campagnolo.
