G&GR Reds Player of the Year

At the end of each game throughout the 2010 Super 14 season over at the forum, readers have submitted their 3-2-1’s for each Australian team. All of these votes will accumulated and an overall 3-2-1 assigned for each match to the three leading point getters for each Aussie team. This is a throw back to the old fashioned best and fairest type voting that various media organisations, and indeed players, would do at the end of the match.

We think so much of the posters on this site that last year we introduced the G&GR Wallaby Player of the Year award, decided by way of the same method (votes made after each test match). King George won the title last year and was so overcome with emotion he soon realised that there was no longer anything he needed to accomplish in World Rugby, and retired.

Let’s hope that same doesn’t occur with this years inaugural (and once off it would seem) Super 14 winners.  First up, let’s go to the Reds and look back through the season and how it all unfolded.

Round 1 v Waratahs

3 Will Genia
2 Peter Hynes
1 James Horwill

Waratahs 30 (Wycliff Palu, Rorey Sidey tries; Daniel Halangagu conv, pg; Berrick Barnes 4 pg, dg) defeated Reds 28 (Daniel Braid, James Horwill tries; Penalty Try; Quade Cooper 2 conv, 2 pg, dg)

***

***

***

Round 8 v Sharks

3 Quade Cooper
2 Digby Ioane

***

Round 10 v Bulls

1 Scott Higginbotham

Reds 19 (Scott Higginbotham, Rodney Davies tries; Quade Cooper 3 pgs) defeated Bulls 12 (Derrick Kuun, Pedrie Wannenburg tries; Morne Steyn conv)

***

Round 11 v Stormers

3 Will Genia
2 Ben Daley
1 Anthony Faingaa

Reds 16 (Will Chambers try; Quade Cooper conv, 3 pg) defeated Stormers 13 (Andries Bekker try; Peter Grant 2 pg)

***

Round 12 v Brumbies

3 Anthony Faingaa
2 Daniel Braid
1 Will Genia

Brumbies 32 (Ben Alexander 2, Mark Chisholm, Josh Valentine tries; Matt Giteau 3 conv, 2 pg) defeated Reds 12 (Quade Cooper 4 pg)

***

Round 13 v Hurricanes

3 Will Genia
2 Digby Ioane
1 Radike Samo

***

Round 14 v Highlanders

3 Quade Cooper
2 Will Genia
1 Sean Hardman

Reds 38 (Poutasi Luafutu 2, Radike Samo, Digby Ioane, Peter Hynes tries; Quade Cooper try, 4 conv) defeated Highlanders 36 (Fetu’u Vainikolo 2, Chris King, Jason Rutledge tries; Israel Dagg try, 4 conv, pen)

***

Well, there’s no real need to build the drama here. The above post looks like the Genia family scrap book there’s so many photos of Will. So, yes, Will Genia is the inaugural G&GR Reds Super 14 Player of the Year. With the final leader board being:

Position Player Points
1st Will Genia 26
2nd Quade Cooper 14
3rd Anthony Faingaa 10
4th Daniel Braid 6
5th Peter Hynes 5
6th Saia Faingaa 4
6th Digby Ioane 4
8th Van Humphries 3
9th Ben Daley 2
10th James Horwill 1
10th Scott Higginbotham 1
10th Radike Samo 1
10th Sean Hardman 1

So what do you think? Was it as clear as the points would indicate? Any surprising omissions? Laurie Weeks seemed to suffer the Tight Head’s curse of being invisible to most. No Will Chambers or Rodney Davies? One thing for sure, when QLD played well Quade and Sanchez usually played well making it damn hard for almost anyone else to get points.
