Honorable mention to the team that played the B&IL: Sio, Siliva, R. Smith, Power, Carter, Fardy, Fainga'a, Kimlin (C), Prior, To'omua, Rathbone, A. Smith, Kuridrani, Speight, Mogg. Res: Mann-Rea, JP Smith, Cocca, Oosthuizen, Smiler, Swanepoel, Coleman, Holmes.
In keeping with tradition, if the season was a movie it would be Rocky 3 - Great start, faltered in the middle, returned strong.
My man of the season - George Smith, of course. Per game, he managed 70 minutes, 8 runs for 38m, 2 tackle busts, 14 tackles made, 1 offload, pilfer and turnover forced.
Henry Speight is top try scorer, tackle-buster and offloader with 8 tries, 22 tackles bust and 10 offloads, Ben Mowen is the top lineout taker and stealer with 74 takes and 7 steals, George Smith top for Pilfers and Turnovers forced with 7 Pilfers and 6 Turnovers, Christian Lealiifano the top point scorer with 180 points, Jesse Mogg is the top line breaker with 11 line breaks, Peter Kimlin played the most time and is the top runner with 1249 minutes played and 104 runs, Sam Carter the top tackler with 153 tackles and Matt To'omua tops the Try Assists with 8.
Overall grade of 9/10 - Not perfect, but pretty bloody good.
