SAM COLLINS has won his second Gold Coast Club Champion following a stellar season by the full-back.

Collins finished the night on 68 votes to beat Bodhi Uwland (56) and Sam Flanders (55), who rounded out the podium.

In a tight count, Matt Rowell (54), Noah Anderson (50) and Mac Andrew (49) were all within striking distance of the top three before narrowly missing out.

Collins' triumph follows his victory in 2020 and comes on the back of finishing runner-up to Anderson last season.

The 30-year-old had a magnificent season, leading the League in intercept possessions and being among the top five key defenders in defusing contested one on ones.
