West Tamworth’s Chris Vidler has capped off a strong rugby league season by being named Group four’s player of the year.
2015 saw Vidler return to the Lions after captain-coaching Manilla last year, and he was rewarded for his early season form with selection in the Greater Northern Tigers side.
The front rower finished on 14 points, two clear of nearest rival, Narrabri’s Sam Sadler.
