BLOG AWARDS
Blogger of the Year – Austin
The guy who takes the top gong this year has put in an amount and level of work that is simply breath-taking.
- He (pretty much) single handedly captured the full stats for the 2010 Tri-Nations and compiled them into fantastic reports and analysis
- He’s used his first class video analysis abilities to show everything from where Gits’ kicking is going wrong, to how the Aussie backline can go right
- He came up with the Best Aussie Club Try idea, and then did the lion share of the hard slog in running it
Hon Mention: RugbyReg. A guy who’s knowledge of all things historical in Aussie rugby is nothing short of encyclopaedic. His review of the Aussie players of the decade was so good we turned it into a book (you can download it here) and it single-handedly kept us afloat over the 2009 new year period.
Reader of the year – Robson
His comments are like blog posts and he’s a Kiwi who’s seen the light and follows the Wallabies. Oughta be sainted!
The Man of the People Award – Lance Free
This award recognises the true Aussie battler. The guy who’s there for the team announcements, news flashes and heart felt pulse of the rugby nation. Without him, there’d be weeds
Rookie of the year – Brumby Jack
Has established the nations capital as another G&GR base and become an investigative reporter bar none with his coverage of the Giteau hearing as an example
Hon mention: Mr Timms. A very close contender with his help around the traps and recent form with super quick match reports like this https://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/wallabies-v-springboks-3-a-corner-turned/
