Australian rugby league award
The George Piggins medal is an Australian rugby league award given each season to the player or players adjudged player of the year for the South Sydney Rabbitohs. It is named after former South Sydney player, coach, and administrator George Piggins, who also was responsible for South Sydney's successful bid to be reinstated to the National Rugby League following their exclusion in 1999.[1]
The medal has been awarded since the 2003 season,[2] along with other awards for the Rabbitohs' first grade, reserve grade, and women's sides.
John Sutton and Sam Burgess share the record for most medals won, with three apiece.
