It will be a 4 way battle for the Vodafone Fiji Bati 2008 player of the year in the annual Fiji National Rugby League Awards tonight at the National Gym.

After the side created history by reaching the semi-final of the Rugby League World Cup for the first time last year with the help of NRL players, most of them have been nominated and are in the running for the award.

Fijivillage had been reliably informed that Aaron Groom who was the man of the match in the game against France and Ireland is favourite for the award while full back Jared Hayne is also in the running with Fiji Bati top try scorer Akuila Uate also one of the contenders.

The FNRL awards night will start at 6 tonight at the National Gym.
