Billy Slater, with a "beaming smile" that headlines it all - scores that try in State of Origin II, Brisbane, Queensland.

In 2004, the National Rugby League inducted the the Peter Frilingos Memorial Award for the headline moment of the year, in honour of the reknowned Kytherian sports broadcaster.

[Search "Frilingos" on the Internal kythera-family search engine, for other articles about Peter Frilingos.]

From 2004, the award will be presented annually.

It is due recognition for an extraordinary life devoted to sports broadcasting.

The initial winner of the award, was Billy Slater, for his solo try for Queensland, in State of Origin II . [A very clever kick and re-gather try which won the game for the Queensland side.]
