World, NZ & other Rugby & Sports Awards 2017

@gunner said in World, NZ & other Rugby & Sports Awards 2017:

Not sure how Barrett won that, he wasn’t even the best in his team, let alone the world.
But we’ll take it.

I'm just glad they didn't give it to beach muscles shouty boy Itoje (even if he probably deserved it more than BB)

[Rapido]

Wow. Surprised at BB. I thought Ioane was the best AB this year.

I don't know enough about NH rugby to judge the other candidates. Thought Farrell was good for Lions, Itoje also good for Lions but not as good as his hype.

I thought Folau was back to being good this year, but missing EOYT would have hurt his chances.

[taniwharugby]

have they changed the criteria/format for the Duane Monkley Medal?

It was being promoted as a points table competition with refs?? voting in each game, and I think with 2 rounds to go, Aumua wasnt even in the top 10 (which is an argument for another day) and now he is one of the nominees?

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby If Aumua earned 2 or 3 points in both round 9 and 10, he could easily have reached the top 3. Ennor and Perofeta only had 9 and 8 points after round 8, respectively, and both have been overtaken by Delany and Aumua. Goodhue should easily be the favourite, though.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer although he didnt start the round 10 game, came on early in 2nd half

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby That shouldn't matter. Also bench players should be able to earn points if they have a real impact on the game. Can't remember if Aumua had that kind of impact in round 10.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer I realise that...iirc aside from a massive hit on Matich he wasn't a stand out but then those selections were a bit odd anyway...a couple of game goodhue got max points he probably shouldn't have.

[Bovidae]

I hope that the Black Ferns get some recognition with winning the team and coach of the year awards.

Emerging Talent Award - Nominees

Narrowed down my choices, not heard much of the emerging talent...

[Bovidae]

The nominee list is just to appease all sports. The fun (and debate) starts when they release the finalists.

I predict that TNZ wins the supreme award.

[Nepia]

I've come to the conclusion that the Fern gets a different feed of BB matches than the rest of the world does, there's no other reason to explain his nominations in any "of the year" competitions this year.

[Stargazer]

@nepia I thought he was pretty good during the Super Rugby season, but people seem to have forgotten about that. Also, the fact that he was brilliant last year makes his performance this year look worse than it probably was.

He was better during the Super season but you shouldn't win awards on your performances in a 2nd tier competition if you weren't that great in a 1st tier competition.

[Stargazer]

@nepia I agree with that in case of World Rugby awards, but not for NZ rugby or other rewards. And he's not nominated for the NZ SR player of the Year award and I'd be surprised if he features among the Halberg finalists.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae ETNZ apparently declined having BUrling nominated as Sportsman of the year.

[Stargazer]

I wouldn't mind Michael Venus to win Sportsman of the Year. He's had awesome results this year. Winning the mixed double final of the French Open and reaching the mixed double final of the US Open (can't remember whether he won that one).

[Bovidae]

Yes, and I applaud them for that decision. They said they are a team and one individual doesn't sit above another.
