Cronulla half-back Jeff Robson has praised Michael Ennis after another stellar performance in the Sharks’ 18-16 win over Canterbury at Belmore on Sunday.

Ennis returned to his old stomping ground in fine style, claiming the three Ultimatesportsmemorabilia.com.au Player of the Year points.

“He’s been a great buy for the club. In his past month of footy he’s been outstanding. He’s been in everything and he’s a niggler and a passionate bloke,” Robson told NRL.com.

“Mick’s definitely a great player to stand alongside. He has given us so much direction through the middle. He wants to play, and that shines through his leadership at the club.

“We have a young half in Birdy so he takes a lot of heat off both of us by getting out of dummy-half off the back of our good go-forward which we’ve had plenty of recently thanks to the success of our middle men.”
