Hoffman, Hayne named best NSW Origin players

Jarryd Hayne and Ryan Hoffman have been named joint winners of the Brad Fittler Medal.

Hayne and Hoffman were presented their medals at a function in Sydney as the outstanding NSW players of this year's State of Origin series.

The pair polled highest in votes from their fellow Blues players, as well as coach Laurie Daley and his coaching staff.

Daley said the pair, who were presented their awards by Fittler and last year's winner Greg Bird, each deserved to take away the honour from the series which NSW won 2-1.

"Jarryd and Ryan were outstanding over the course of the series and played key roles in our series victory," Daley said.

"Jarryd came up with some critical plays and Ryan was tireless for us. This is deserved recognition of their efforts."
