Western Clydesdales coaches Ben and Shane Walker believe fullback Chris Woodbridge could become an NRL halfback because of his unusual attacking instincts.
Woodbridge, 25, won the Petero Civoniceva Medal after scoring 16 tries, creating 21 and making 12 line-breaks in 20 Queensland Cup matches.
Those numbers came while the Clydesdales finished 16th, with Ben and Shane Walker coaching the side.
Ben Walker told AAP, "He is as talented a player as I have seen."
He compared Woodbridge with Titans playmaker Jayden Campbell, saying, "Just with his uncanny ability to make things happen, he is very similar to Jayden ... and a skinny little fella like him."
Woodbridge has met Gold Coast coach Josh Hannay, while his management has received interest from other NRL clubs.
Campbell attended that meeting, which Woodbridge described as "pretty special", and the fullback remains determined to pursue the competition.
"If there is an opportunity I will take it. (NRL) is still the dream," Woodbridge said.
Shane Walker said professional training and weights would help, while highlighting Woodbridge's self-caught kick-offs and scrum interceptions.
He recalled Woodbridge intercepting a pass near the line before sprinting 90 metres to score against Tweed Heads.
Previous medal winners include Greg Inglis, Daly Cherry-Evans, Cody Walker, Trai Fuller and Oliver Pascoe, who later received NRL deals.
"I am incredibly humbled to receive the award all my idols and superstars did growing up. It is pretty cool," Woodbridge said.
The proud Indigenous player identified Johnathan Thurston and Inglis as childhood idols, and credited the Walkers with restoring his enjoyment of football.
