Former Wallaby Mark Gerrard has emerged as a front-runner for Australia's Super Rugby Player of the Year, The Sydney Morning Herald's Jamie Pandaram reports.
"Gerrard has enjoyed a fine season for the Melbourne Rebels despite playing just five games due to injury, and has bucked the trend of players fading away after heading overseas.
"He gained an early release from the third year of his Brumbies contract to join Japan's NTT Communications in 2009, and played his last Test for the Wallabies at the 2007 World Cup, but national selectors will have taken notice of his renaissance."
