13 Sefanaia Naivalu (Melbourne Rising)
Started the season as seemingly the only non-Super Rugby contracted player in the Rising team. This didn’t last long as a number of consistently excellent performances saw Naivalu snag a Rebel contract for 2015. The leading try-scorer in the Dewar Shield was just as imposing when he wore the Rising kit – credit to not only Sef’s abilities but the Victorian Rugby development pathway.
