Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2630231, member: 1899"] [B]NRL[/B] Player of the Year: Ben Hunt Best Forward: Josh McGuire Best Back: Ben Hunt Most Consistent: Alex Glenn Players' Player: Ben Hunt [B]Special Awards[/B] Play of the Year: Ben Barba (Round 22 try v Bulldogs) XXXX Fans Player of the Year: Ben Hunt Clubman of the Year: Scot Czislowski [B]NYC[/B] Player of the Year: Joe Ofahengaue Best Forward: Aaron Rockley Best Back: Ashley Taylor Players Player: Jai Arrow -------------------------------------- Not too many surprises there. Most Consistent would have to be the biggest shock. I thought there were better candidates than Glenn who had a few ordinary games here and there from memory but then I could be overrating the efforts of Josh McGuire and Corey Parker. As always, the awards ceremony is a reminder of how different the criteria is between the fans and the club. Not to say one is better than the other, but I reckon they rate plays that we often take for granted or are difficult to pick up on first view. I don't think I'd rate Glenn as high but I remember changing a bunch of my POTS votes on replay and throwing Glenn in as high as the first or second best player on the park when initially he wasn't even considered. Rockley as best NYC forward was a surprising choice based on all reports but then again, it's nearly impossible to really criticise since the NYC is so difficult to follow. From what I observed during the season, he wasn't exactly a slouch and was always willing to do the tough stuff that's always under-appreciated at this level. Maybe I would have gone with Arrow or Greinke but since Jai already received recognition as Players Player and Greinke is playing for the Junior Roos I'm happy Rockley received some recognition. I skipped out after the NYC awards but were there any good speeches that followed? [/QUOTE]
