The prop joins former legend George Smith as the only players to claim more than two Brett Robinson Awards.
Alaalatoa previously received the honour in 2019 and 2020 and was rewarded for a standout season in which he led the Brumbies to the Super Rugby semi-finals.
The veteran has a long way to go if he is to surpass Smith. The flanker won the Brett Robinson Award nine times, including eight-straight from 2003 to 2010.
Tom Hooper was recognised for an impressive year, claiming the Shawn Mackay Most Outstanding Young Talent Award while Nic White was named best back and Pete Samu best forward.
Japanese star Mana Furuta claimed the women's top gong, named Helen Taylor Super W Player of the Year.
Jemima McCalman was rewarded for a season that saw her make her Wallaroos debut, winning the Super W Most Outstanding Young Player prize.
