Melbourne halfback Cooper Cronk has been named this year’s Rugby League Golden Boot winner for the world’s best player.
Cronk, who shared Dally M award honours with North Queensland’s Jason Taumalolo, helped the Storm to the NRL minor premiership before they lost the grand final to Cronulla.
Cronk played 26 NRL games this season, as well as being a key part of Queensland’s State of Origin title and Australia’s Four Nations tournament victory.
