The Team of the Year is picked by Intrust Super Cup coaches at the conclusion of the regular season, who rank the three best players in each position. Traditionally a halfback, the Melbourne Storm-contracted playmaker has relished the transition to fullback for the Falcons in 2019. Further to his efforts, the Falcons have only lost one of their 18 games so far this season - a narrow four-point defeat to defending premiers Redcliffe. Young Storm hooker, Brandon Smith, missed out on the Hooker of the Year award but was rewarded for a stellar season with the Sunshine Coast Falcons by being named as the Rookie of the Year. Falcons have also only scored fewer than 30 points on three occasions this year, two of which were in the opening three rounds of the competition. The Falcons rake has been the standout performer in the competition this year; so much so that his team mates have started calling him Petero. Furthermore, Falcons have a 100 per cent win rate when Murphy has played this season.

The QRL have hosted their annual awards night, naming the Intrust Super Cup Team of the Year which features a number of Melbourne Storm affiliated players. The Newtown Jets won the premiership and played against Burleigh Bears, who won the 2019 Intrust Super Cup, in the NRL State Championship. When the votes for the 2019 Petero Civoniceva Medal tally went behind closed doors in Round 12, Grant was leading the race with 17 points. The Falcons lead the competition for just about every attacking statistic with the most points, tries, goals, line breaks, try assists and line break assists of any team. The 108kg forward has been one of the more consistent forwards to date, averaging 128 metres, 44 post-contact metres per game and 21 tackles per game at 91 per cent efficiency. The Team of the Year will be announced at the Queensland Rugby League Awards Night on September 27.

The former rugby union star has quickly made a name for himself in the Intrust Super Cup, and is a big reason why Redcliffe have won four of their past five games. He averages 154 running metres per game and has scored three hat-tricks this season, including back-to-back in Round 16 and Round 17. Notable mention: Herbie Farnworth - Norths Devils, Thank you Nanango #intrustsupercup #countryweek, A post shared by Intrust Super Cup (@intrustsupercup) on Jul 22, 2019 at 1:19am PDT, Predicted winner: Izaia Perese - Redcliffe Dolphins. The young Blackhawks forward has taken the competition by storm in 2019, consistently maintaining a huge work rate in both attack and defence. The Team of the Year was picked by Intrust Super Cup coaches at the conclusion of the regular season; they each ranked the three best players in each position. Norths Devils' Nixon Putt with 40 per cent of 3270 votes; Sunshine Coast Falcons' Tino Fa'asuamaleaui was second with 25 per cent. However, Reuben has played two fewer games than Leo and three fewer games than Soper-Lawler.
