Fullback of the Year
A tight race here, with two possible winners. Todd Carney scored the most points of any fullback this season, at 37.21 per game, but Newcastle's Kurt Gidley actually pipped Carney with 37.56 points a week, after missing the first part of the season through injury.
Next best: Jarryd Hayne (34.50 ppg) was the only other fullback to average more than 30 points per game.

Centre/Winger of the Year
No surprise that back-rowers who occasionally fill a role in the centres dominated this category. South Sydney's Ben Lowe (41.06 ppg) finished as the season's best.
Next best: Rooster Mitchell Aubusson (36.68 ppg), Parramatta's Ben Smith (35.16 ppg).

Half of the Year
Dragons playmaker Jamie Soward has lost his mantle as Dream Team's No.1 player, with Canberra's Terry Campese (47.79 ppg) the highest-scoring half in 2010.
Next best: Soward (46.70), Scott Prince (45.00 ppg).

Second Rower of the Year
Brisbane Broncos workhorse and goal-kicker Corey Parker scored more points per week than any other player, with a massive 57.14 points a game.
Next best: Paul Gallen (53.61 ppg), David Stagg (53.55), Nathan Hindmarsh (53.04).

Front Rower of the Year
Gold Coast Titan Luke Bailey seemed a relatively quiet achiever this season but he topped the props for 2010, with an average of 42.18 points per week.
Next best: The Dragons' Dan Hunt (41.20 ppg from 10 games), Rooster Nate Myles (39.40 ppg), Shark Luke Douglas (39.29 ppg).

Hooker of the Year
In the battle between Dream Team giants Cameron Smith and Robbie Farah, it was Smith who prevailed with 54.30 point a game.
Next best: Farah (53.62 ppg), Nathan Friend (45.08 ppg), Matt Ballin (43.79 ppg).

Best bargain
Despite the sensational start to the season of Canberra Raiders find Shaun Fensom, he was pipped in the end as the biggest improver by Wests Tigers forward Liam Fulton. Fulton scored 45.13 points a week to jump $168,200 in value over the season.
Next best: Manly's Trent Hodkinson (41.61 ppg, +$167,500) Fensom (45.50 ppg, +$150,100), Sam Burgess (38.36 ppg, +$146,000).

The duds
Bulldogs half Blake Green dropped $106,500 in value, the most of any player this season, closely followed by second-season-syndrome victim Daniel Mortimer (28.67 ppg, -$104,200). Ben Hannant (-$94,000), Johnathan Thurston (-$85,500) and Cooper Cronk (-$84,100) were other big-name flops.

Best fans
Canberra Raiders fans triumped over all others as the sharpest Dream Team players of 2010, scoring an average of 463.25 points per round. Warriors fans finished second, Cronulla supporters third, and Melbourne Storm fans finished at the bottom of the table, along with their team.
