What is the Ken Irvine Medal?

Since 2018, the NRL's top try scorer has been awarded the Ken Irvine Medal, named after legendary try-scoring machine Ken Irvine.

Along with being the fastest man of his time, Irvine kew his way to the tryline, crossing for 171 tries in 176 premiership games for the North Sydney Bears along with 33 tries in 33 Test matches for the Kangaroos.

In all, Irvine scored 385 tries in 432 first class games.

Who won the 2023 Ken Irvine Medal?

Newcastle's Dom Young claimed the 2023 Ken Irvine Medal, crossing 25 times for Newcastle. 

He's the first Knights player to top the try scorers' ladder since Akuila Uate scored 21 from 24 games in 2010, sharing the crown with Shaun Kenny-Dowall.
