Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is the 2018 Arthur Beetson Medal winner after holding off Cronulla prop Andrew Fifita by a single vote.

RTS finished on 25 points and claimed his third award in the process.

The Warriors captain earlier scored both Fullback of the Year and Warriors Player of the Year.

There was some controversy with Daly Cherry-Evans winning Halfback of the Year despite Manly’s woeful season. Simply, Cherry-Evans polled more votes than any other halfback in the competition.
