Ashton-Collier Medal
In 2013, the Ashton-Collier Spirit of ANZAC Medal was introduced as the award for player of the match. The award was named in honour of Ferris Ashton and Bill Collier, World War II veterans and former players of Eastern Suburbs and St. George respectively. A previous award, simply titled the Spirit of ANZAC Medal, was awarded between 2010 and 2012. Winners were Dragons players Darius Boyd (2010 and 2011) and Ben Hornby (2012).
