Australias's fullback Billy Slater has capped a remarkable season and further erased memories of his World Cup final howler by taking out rugby league's prestigious Golden Boot award.
The Melbourne star continued his impressive haul of individual honours when he won the prize awarded annually to the player adjudged best in the world.
It was presented at a Rugby League Players' Association ceremony in Sydney, where Slater also took out the association's representative player of the year award.
He'd alrteady collected the Rugby League International Federation's player of the year and World Cup player of the tournament earlier this month.
The honour will help ease the heartache from Slater's wild pass that gifted New Zealand five-eighth Benji Marshall a pivotal try in the Kiwis' shock World Cup final win over the Kangaroos last weekend.
