The Newcastle Northstars have ended their season in second place, appearing in their 8th Grand Final. There was nothing but pride for everything the team accomplished in 2022, and this was on display at the end-of-season presentation night.
"Huge credit goes to Garry and Leanne to keep us going through the last few years; they've done an awesome job and put in a tireless effort to keep it all together and bring it back, and to see it come back with such a huge bang was just awesome to see," said Captain Liam Manwarring.
Award recipients this year included Liam Manwarring – Australian Player of the Year, Mackenzie Gallagher – Most Improved Player, Paddy Ward – Most Dedicated Player, Ethan Hawes – Best Defensive Player, Tim Stanger – Coach's Award, and Francis Drolet – Most Valuable Player.
