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

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

@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.

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

Yes, and I applaud them for that decision. They said they are a team and one individual doesn't sit above another.
-
@bovidae true, but to be in that position you still need to be an elite sportsman to achieve what they did, otherwise any pleb could drive that tub!
Every good team needs a leader, I expect his input into every aspect was a key component in the success, and at all the pressers who got to speak to the press, certainly would seem he was put ahead of everyone else?
If they had lost, who woulda taken the bulk of the blame (aside from Dalton who wasnt on the boat)
-
@taniwharugby
Glenn Ashby was the skipper and on-board leader. I doubt Burling's input was any more important than Ashby's in the campaign, or that of Dan Bernasconi. The helmsman gets the publicity - postive and negative.Ashby probably isn't eligible as an Aussie.

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).
I agree but I think Tom Walsh should win it.
-
@Virgil the All Whites had a hard fought draw in the first leg of the qualifier so should be odds on to win it again.
