Kasey Reh, Kimberley Hunt, and Zac Lomax were all recognised for their standout seasons at Wednesday night's Dally M Awards.
Kasey Reh took home the NRLW Rookie of the Year Award to cap off a phenomenal year.
The 18-year-old skippered the Steelers to a Tarsha Gale Cup premiership in April claiming Player of the Series honours before starring for Under 19s Country.
An Australian Schoolgirls representative in 2023, Reh captained the Under 19s Blues to victory weeks later claiming the NSW Under 19s Women's State of Origin Player of the Year in the process.
Her NRLW debut came in Round 1 with the Western Suburbs Red Devils junior going on to appear in all nine outings for the Red V scoring two tries and assisting on two others as she showcased her versatility in the halves, at hooker, and at lock.
She was also named the club’s Emerging Talent at last week’s end-of-year presentation.
Kimberley Hunt was awarded the Veronica White Medal for Woman of the Year in a fitting recognition of her diligent work in the community particularly through Indigenous events and grassroots programs.
Hailing from Tully and a proud Wakaid woman from Badu Island, the Indigenous All-Stars and Prime Minister’s XIII representative joined the Dragons this year after making her NRLW debut for the Eels a year ago.
She has devoted her spare time to assisting the local Illawarra Aboriginal Medical Service (IAMS) largely through their Healthy Deadly Kids (HDK) program.
By promoting healthy lifestyle choices among young Indigenous students, her efforts significantly enhance the positive influence of the Dragons Community, reflecting her deep commitment to both the club and the broader community.
Hunt has also participated in local IAMS men’s and women’s yarning groups contributing to vital community discussions, been a part of clinic meetings to support and expand the Healthy Deadly Kids (HDK) programs aiding their development and success, and attended the HDK graduation celebrating the achievements of the program’s participants and their milestones.
Zac Lomax was named as a winger in the Dally M Team of the Year for the first time in his career having led the Dragons in tries, runs, run metres and offloads.
A Temora Dragons junior, Lomax earnt a maiden State of Origin nod scoring three tries and kicking eight goals in NSW’s series win.
He also this year became the third player in club history to surpass 800 career points joining Jamie Soward and Gareth Widdop and, in the side’s Round 14 win over the Wests Tigers, set club records in points (32) and goals (10).
