Ok, before we get into the 2023 awards, we have some earlier seasons to catch up on. Since 2008 the MSKOTW points have been added up every week, and 3-2-1 points awarded to the highest scoring. This makes sure the points are consistent week to week, and don't get skewed when a heap of people vote one week and hardly any the next. Our previous winners are:

2008: Kurt Gidley
2009: Jarrod Mullen
2010: Akuila Uate
2011: Chris Houston
2012: Jarrod Mullen and Danny Buderus
2013: Jarrod Mullen
2014: Beau Scott
2015: Dane Gagai
2016: Nathan Ross
2017: Daniel Saifiti
2018: Kalyn Ponga
2019: David Klemmer

In 2020 we had a shortened season played in front of empty stands due to pandemic restrictions. We hit form early in the season, and with a new coach made the finals for the first time since 2013. This was the points leaderboard for 2020:

Ponga - 19 points
Barnett - 18 points
Daniel Saifiti - 13 points
