John Eales Medal

[naza]

Cliffy Palu has been injured all year but is still nominated. That is how awesome Cliffy is ! BOW TO PALU POWER !!

 

[TOCC]

Cliffy Palu was on fire on the EOYT last year, that and he was at times the only forward actually going forward, not surprising he racked up the points.

If I was a betting man, Pocock is where my cash would be

[AngrySeahorse]

Yay! Bam Bam!

 

[Hugh Jarse]

....

If Bam Bam does not get at least 300 of those points then something is wrong in the state of Denmark. The issue is not will Bam Bam win the medal but by how much?

My tip is the silver medalist will be daylight at least 150 points in arrears. Nearly enough runs on the board to enforce the follow on.

...

Denmark is rotten. Bam Bam total score was 269 :yay Winner by 63 points or thereabouts. So much for my superior predictive maths.:'(

Well done Bam Bam. Awesome year. Now tear into the New Zealand Rugby Team in Bled IV next week.

Gits in second? Well he obviously must contribute a lot behind the scenes because I don't see it. Certainly rules out any chance of him being benched next week.

 

[chief]

Hahahahaha, Gits in 2nd. What a beat up.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

Pocock winning is well deserved. He's been head and shoulders above all others in the last 12 months. To my mind, only Sharpe has been close.

 

[Gagger]

So I got an interview with James Stannard the 7s winner, and put together a video of a few highlights. Great timing!

sevens player of the year, wow, i brought a fake oscar from a 2 dollar shop when i went to LA, no one gave me an interview.

 

[Gagger]

Wonder why

 

[Slim 293]

The Brumbies really need promote Coleman out of the Academy before we lose another local...

And even if he was, and Robbie utilised the bench as much as he has all year (ie not at all), Gits would still probably manage to poll votes.

 

[Scarfman]

The JE Medal is like the Golden Globes. It's just a prelude to the Oscars. The award that all the players care about is the Green and Gold Rugby ... er .. laminated A4 sheet ... with their name on.

 

[Gagger]

it wasn't actually laminated. he got a complimentary plastic sleeve though

 

[Langthorne]

That certificate is all class. Fuck, have you got some kind of laser printer at home? or did you have to use the work one on the sly?

 

[chequebalance]

hahahaha fantastic! If that does not take pride of place in the pool room i don't know what will!
