This was revealed on NSW Rugby League grand final day.

Barnett, who earlier this month was named the NSW Cup player of the year, has been selected in the second row. Contracted to the Canberra Raiders, Barnett played in the cup with Canberra's feeder team, Mounties.

The side finished minor premier but were bundled out in the final by eventual champions, Newcatsle.

The VB NSW Cup side is selected by a panel of VB NSW Cup judges and competition experts including broadcasting partners, media outlets and the NSWRL football department.

The New South Wales Rugby League's general manager - football, Barrie-Jon Mather, said the side is a strong one and that each individual named in the side should feel particularly honoured.

"The 2015 VB NSW Cup Team of the Year is a very powerful line-up," Mather said.

"There's plenty of speed, skill and size about the side - and all of the individuals within the 17, as well as the coaches, have had fantastic seasons.

"The VB NSW Cup is a genuine pathway for rugby league players, and the success of players like Damien Cook, Shaun Lane and Mitch Barnett, who all debuted in the NRL this year, shows that.

"It's a real honour to be selected - congratulations to everyone named in the 2015 VB NSW Cup Team of the Year."

Barnett made his NRL debut for the Raiders this year, figuring in two matches.
