Greg Bird has won the Brad Fittler Medal awarded to the NSW State of Origin player of the series.

The Gold Coast back-rower picked up the award at a presentation evening in Sydney on Wednesday night.

Bird was the outstanding player for the Blues albeit in an eighth successive series loss to Queensland.

The 28-year-old received the award from NSW coach Laurie Daley in front of an audience that included most of the squad and ARLC chairman John Grant and NRL chief executive Dave Smith.
