RugbyWA held their 2022 Annual Awards Breakfast at the picturesque Double Tree Hilton at Elizabeth Quay
Perth Bayswater's Otunuku Pauta wins the 2022 PG Hampshire award after a tremendous season.
Otunuku dominated the leader board finishing on 24 points, 9 points clear of runner-up Auega Seumanutafa (Kalamunda).
When accepting the award Otunuku said "Our bond and brotherhood from the top down is strong, winning this award means so much, I really didn't expect it"
On missing out on the Grand Final, "We'll come back hungrier and aim to go one step further next season"
"This award means a great deal, to have a player of this calibre and such a great role model for the club who always helps out and goes out of his way to help others, it's a great achievement for Otunuka" Perth Bayswater President Darrell Stops said.
Narrowly missing out on the PG Hampshire Award was Kalamunda's Auega Seumanutafa (15 points), Nedlands Sheldon Tawara (14 Points) and Wests Scarborough's Kainoa Gurgeon (14 Points).
Throughout the morning, other awards were won, including the Coach of the Year Award, with Wests Scarborough's Coach Christain Cano taking the honours.
Luke Callan from Wanneroo/Nedlands took home Most Outstanding Colt after an impressive season that saw him play in the Elimination Finals team for Nedlands.
The trusty boot of Cottesloe Shegulls Kendra Fell helped her take home the Women's Best and Fairest player after a phenomenal season.
Kainoa Gudgeon from Wests Scarborough bagged the Men's Top Point Scorer (193) and Men's Top Try Scorer (13).
Samantha Wood from Kalamunda won the Women's Top Point Scorer (71). Brianne Wallace from Cottesloe and Shiane Kani from Wanneroo tied for the Women's Top Try Scorer with seven tries.
With the Award Breakfast now over, all of our attention turns to Kingsway Sporting Complex for the Women and Men's Grand Finals on Saturday.
