Big Hit went to Sean O'Loughlin's tackle on Remi Casty against the Catalan Dragons in Montpellier in June and Try of the Year - which was voted on during the event - was awarded to Josh Charnley for the try against the Catalans in the Play-Offs.

The Peter Higginbottom Recognition Award, was presented to Club stalwarts Malc Clarke and Gordon Melling for their long service and hard work behind the scenes as statisticians for the coaching staff.

During the evening there was a special thank you to all the departing players which included Thomas Leuluai, George Carmont, Stuart Fielden, Jeff Lima and Brett Finch.

There was also a special Life Membership Award given to Wigan Warriors fan Bradley Wiggins to recognise his sporting achievements which include in 2012 winning the Tour de France and an Olympic Gold Medal in London.

Too rude to publish!!

Don't know how much (if any) will be shown on Warriors TV. It may have to be a constant beep. But he was funny!

Absolutely spot on those awards. I can't think of one of those that hasn't gone to a very deserving recipient.

Very pleased for George (he had my vote).

Glad to see Hughes get the young player of the year award as well. He is one of those players who when you see him on the pitch you just know has the natural ability to go far in the game. Watching him reminds me of a young Joel Tomkins when he first broke into the side. I knew with him he would be quality and I think Hughes is one who has that same something about him.

Anyone agree with any of the above? Or am I being to positive?

Why was Matty Russell not included in the special thank you.

He has given great service to the club.
