“I'm honoured to have been given the club MVP for the season, thank you to everyone involved with this programme,” Newman said.
“Despite the rollercoaster we have been on it has been a great year and it's sad we have to wait so long to play again.”
Wood was also pleased to pick up the coaches' player-of-the-year trophy which was picked by coach Thomas Baker and his assistant Roger Malpass.
