The Eastern Suns are proud to recognise our Round 8 Core Cider House MVPs following another big night of NBL1 West action.
A big thank you to Core Cider House for their continued support in celebrating standout performances throughout the 2026 NBL1 West season.
Women’s MVP – Trista Hull
Trista delivered a dominant presence in the paint, producing a huge double-double and controlling the boards throughout the contest. In just under 32 minutes on court, she recorded 20 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 assists, consistently giving the Suns second-chance opportunities while anchoring the team defensively. Her physicality and work rate were key factors across the night.
Men’s MVP – Marley Sam

Marley continued his outstanding form with another explosive offensive performance. In 33 minutes of action, he finished with 37 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals, leading the Suns with his scoring ability and intensity on both ends of the floor. His ability to step up in crucial moments once again proved invaluable for the team.
Both players played pivotal roles with their effort, leadership, and impact throughout the contest.
Congratulations to Trista and Marley on being named our Round 8 Core Cider House MVPs!
