The mighty warriors at warriors.kiwi are singing the praises of prop Addin Fonua-Blake, who continues to receive accolades for his outstanding performance on the field.
This year, the 28-year-old powerhouse has once again been named a finalist for the prestigious Players' Champion award, a true testament to his skills and dedication to the game.
Fonua-Blake, a true warrior in every sense of the word, was also a finalist last year when his teammate Shaun Johnson claimed the coveted title.
Now, he finds himself among the elite group of players vying for the title, including the likes of Melbourne's Jahrome Hughes, Sydney Roosters' James Tedesco, Angus Crichton, and Stephen Crichton of the Canterbury Bankstown.
In his final season with the NZ Warriors, Fonua-Blake has already racked up an impressive array of awards, cementing his status as a true legend of the game.
Voted as the players' player of the year by his teammates, he has also earned a spot in both the RLPA's Players' Dream Team and the Dally M team of the year for the second year running.
As the NRL grand final approaches, all eyes will be on Fonua-Blake as he continues to prove why he is truly a force to be reckoned with on the rugby league field.
Cheers to you, Addin, may your legacy in the game continue to grow and inspire future generations of warriors.
