I don't think we can disagree with the Top Scorer awards can we? :laugh: Well, maybe if Sisa Waqa were to win by 1.

Barba should get Dally M and Fullback IMO.

If Josh Reynolds is eligible, he's my rookie of the year - If not Josh Mansour gets my vote. Konrad Hurrell by far the standout rookie talent but hasn't played enough to actually win the award. Deserves a mention though.

Hasler is my coach of the year. I wasn't even convinced the Dogs would make the 8 this year.

Captain of the year? Bit of a stupid award IMO. Maybe Nathan Hindmarsh, for still showing up to lead even when nobody will bother to follow.

Headline Moment -- That Inglis try was the most headline worthy moment of the year by far.

Fullback: Barba
Winger: Don't really think anyone has been that impressive. Guys like Uate and Graham etc. have been strong, but nobody stands out.
Centre: Jamie Lyon
Five-Eight: Josh Reynolds
Halfback: Nobody has really stood out IMO. Outside of Ben Barba no back has really done too much to dominate at their position.
Prop: A James, either Graham or Tamou.
Hooker: Cameron Smith
Second Rower: A few of the better ones have missed large periods - Burgess, Stewart, Ellis etc. He wont win it but I'd almost say Gavin Cooper. Realistically speaking, I'll say Sam Burgess.
Lock: Paul Gallen

Nah, J. Reynolds was a 2011 rookie (played over 3 games, in fact he played 10).

He'll probably take the five eigth award too. He probably deserves it on form but I think JT at his best is practically untouchable.

In fact, I expect the Dogs to sweep a lot of categories, James Graham will likely take prop too.

Gallen will probably win too, even though he's basically missed just under half a season.

Winger: Akuila Uate

 

[Big Pete]

Akuila Uate takes winger.

Just shows how poor the standard is this year.

 

[Foordy]

hmmmm.... Ash Graham got equal top try scorer, yet didn't win winger of the year

 

[Big Pete]

Jamie Lyon & Jason King take Captain

Thaiday was a nominee LOL

 

[Fozz]

Graham can catch a pass from Thurston and score but Uate does a lot more himself. Not surprised at that selection.

 

[user_nat]

How does Thaiday even get nominated for captain of the year.
