Fijian born Canberra Raiders winger Semi Valemei says he was privileged to receive the rookie of the year for the green machine.
He says it’s a massive achievement for him especially because he had never received an award in his life.
The 21-year-old has also advised the younger generation to keep chasing their dreams.
